Good choice. I would also recommend a spicy aoli.

Since I’m drunk at 6:00 AM on a Wed, I don’t care if this isn’t the correct place to post this. I’m gonna post it anyway and there’s nothing anybody can do about it. Except delete it…..

Jason Heyward’s swing is too long, has been for ages. He’s not turning on inside fastballs like he should because he has such a long load-up. And when there’s a fastball on the outer-half, he still tries to pull it. Combine this with standing 350ft away from home plate and you’ve got a waste of talent. He’s still having a pretty good year because of the talent oozing out of his body, but that swing definitely needs some work. Seriously, is there anybody in baseball who stands further from the plate?
