I grew up going to Japanese school, and studied in HS/college to feel closer to my culture. I’ve hardly spoken since, though, so it’s very broken. But for Shohei’s special night, I wanted him and 🇯🇵 media to feel welcomed/seen. Def wasn’t perfect😬but I’ll keep shaking rust off!

Loved this. Yermin Mercedes picks up his first big-league knock. Albert Pujols, with 3,236 hits on his HOF baseball card, flips him the ball and gives him some love.

RE Brennaman's apology: I loathe the "man of faith" line -it's a weak/canned bit for every mea culpa -it's an undeniable/ironic fact that supposed people of faith have persecuted the LGBTQIA community for much of history, with religious 'interpretations' at the tip of their sword

due respect to Stoney, but I'm not a fan of "that's baseball" tonight. this game is HIGH on the "Can't Happen" scale. because it's the same issue(s) over and over and over. until the Sox can focus up / play even meh defense, they won't go where near everybody expects them to.
