I live 40 miles from Disney. Heat is a way of life but us northerners never get used to it, though you probably get your share in Charlotte. At Disney, there is little relief from the sun.

Damn, I live down here and trips to Disney are exhausting and in the summer you need to take a break after lunch and go back around 4 pm...you cannot drink enough water.
Oh, and welcome back!
3 or 4 years ago we took the kids there in August. It was like Hades on earth.
Game is on the MLB Network at 7 pm tonight.

Raleigh not Charlotte but yep we get swamp ass down here as well.
We went to the water parks in the morning/early afternoon and then the other parks later in the afternoon
Only way to handle the heat. Almost exactly the way we did it. That pool at the hotel is a God send.

We would go to the parks early in the AM...eat lunch around 11 to beat the crowds, and then about 1 or 2 we would go back to the hotel for pool and/or a nap and then go back in the evening.

Another way to do it. But the lines, the Sun straight up, the Brazilians, the Asians - need relief from it all.

Luis Gil at #3. That was a nightmare trade for the Twins. Gil was a 19 year old IFA who sat 92mph and had missed all of 2016. They liked Jake Cave and were willing to trade a lottery card in Gil to get him. Cave looks to be a AAAA OFer. Great numbers at AA and AAA. Can't do anything in the majors. Gil then went from sitting 92mph to now sitting 98mph with the Yankees and touching 101. His curveball is a spin rate juggernaut and his change has gotten a lot better. He has been he best pitcher in the SAL league and leads the league in ERA and Ks.
The Yankees have a ridiculous amount of talented young pitchers from Latin American in their system but Gil might end up being the best.
22 years old and will be off tomorrow play two innings Tuesday off Wednesday and Thursday. Much needed rest lol.
And how does a player, 27 y/o, who has played baseball his entire life not know how he has to cover 2nd base, since you know, he is the 2nd base man. Why would you go to 1st base?
And, WTF is he up and Estrada is not?
Nicely called. The old man and "smallest' Yankee keeps mashing.
Well maybe Pinnacle....hard as a rock - goes far.
It's unreal how these umps won't adjust "their" strike zones for a guy who's 6'7". We saw one ump earlier this week who did but he's been the only one I can remember all year who did.
It's supposed to be the batters strike zone not the umps, and I'm all in to bring on the electronic strike zone. So tired of these guys being incompetent.
Morton was fantastic in Houston.
pass the beer-nuts.
It worked...They got some solid wood on Morton, but could not complete the deal.
As Paxton gives up another leadoff hit.
