You Don’t Get Capitalized Until Your First Hit

<p>While Patti spent the weekend in her happy place, it was locker clean-out day all over the league. The Rays have purged their clubhouse of all things Wander, and the Dodgers have literally painted <a href="https://people.com/dodgers-clear-out-pitcher-julio-urias-locker-amid-felony-domestic-violence-charges-7969307">Julio Urias</a> right out of  their history. <a href="https://ktla.com/sports/shohei-ohtanis-locker-at-angel-stadium-cleared-out-team-gives-no-explanation/">Shohei</a> cleaned out his own locker but may not be completely absent the rest of the season. Pottymouth checks in with some neglected boyfriend and finds that <a href="https://correodelcaroni.com/deportes/beisbol/thairo-estrada-firma-una-temporada-pletorica-con-los-gigantes/">Thairo Estrada</a> is having his second 20+ stolen base season and leads the Giants in steals, hits, and doubles. Miguel Rojas has found a dance partner in Kiké at the same time his bat is kicking back in. Patti’s former OAK bf <a href="https://theathletic.com/4869047/2023/09/16/braves-matt-olson-franchise-record-home-runs/">Matt Olson</a> just set the Hammers’ single season record for home runs and leads the league in RBI. <a href="https://theathletic.com/4738068/2023/08/01/braves-nicky-lopez-trade-deadlilne/">Nicky Lopez</a>, initially her KC bf, may have to reschedule his early November wedding now that he too is a Hammer and they hope to have other plans at that time of year. Oriole Park at Camden Yards was the place to be this past weekend with the Os/Rays showdown. <a href="https://theathletic.com/4867504/2023/09/15/orioles-adam-jones-retires/">Adam Jones</a> retired as an Oriole before the Friday game (check out his kids’ qHAR!), where Heston Kjerstad hit a home run for his first major league hit. Queen songs were sung loudly at Saturday’s game where we were “having a good time” watching Grayson Rodriguez pitch 8 shut out innings, Gunnar shocking Disney Prince Tyler Glasnow, and Tristan Gray learning you don’t get capitalized at OPACY until your first hit.
