Cup of Coffee: August 15, 2022

A near perfecto, a two-homer game for an old man, the Tatís suspension, Everything is Broken, The Brentford Massacre, a quick trip to Chicago and . . . just one more thing

Good morning!

We had a near perfecto yesterday, there were four shutouts in all, and an old man showed that he’s still an artist with a Thompson. We also talk about the Fernando Tatís suspension, a player likely to opt-out of his big contract and hit the market this fall, and the end of the season for a key veteran on a top contender.

In Other Stuff, Mike Ferrin, Steve Goldman, and I bring back our Bob Dylan podcast, “Everything is Broken,” I talk a bit about the Brentford Massacre — which is what I assume Manchester United supporters are now calling Saturday’s match — a bit about my very quick trip to Chicago to see an EDM group, eat a lot of fancy food, and flip the bird to the Trump International Hotel and Tower, and there is . . . just one more thing.

Let’s get at ‘er.
