Major league detox, minor league roundup: August 21
I’ll admit it: I’m exhausted, and I’m going to be hearing Frank White’s gentle, good-nature chuckle in my sleep.
So after watching seven hours of baseball with more to come in 10 hours, I’m saving everything for a massive missive tomorrow night. But in case you have anything you want to vent about, here are the Game 1 and Game 2 recaps.
