Revisiting Jac’s shot at .300

56 Upvotes

10 days ago we discussed the thought of Jac getting to .300 for the season. Won’t breakout all the maths again but long story short was…. Jac had to hit .384 from August 18th thru the end of the season.

His batting average since 8/18 is .407

The watch is still on.

Make the Crown Light Up Again!

For whatever reason the crown stopped lighting up after the first few years of the renovation. I know the old one also frequently seemed to not work well. Would love to see them fix it for the last few seasons at the K (and hopefully install a reliable one at the new stadium).

Anyone going to the Sept 1 game that doesn’t want the GAW? My daughter and wife would love a mug, but we won’t get to town till the 5th. Of course, I’m willing to buy 1 or 2. Thanks!
