And we're back!

A bit late for our purposes, of course, but MLB's experts have their pick slates on deck if you'd like to have a look. The esteemed panel includes Will Leitch; Sarah Langs; and a guy named David Venn, who, give him a column called "Venn Diagram" or what is any of it for.

Speaking of that, sort of, and things it's too late to do: every year, I remember like three games in that I want to do a daily over/under on booths grumbling about a certain infield hit...namely, how many times will you hear some variation on "bunting is a wasted out" and "what kind of lunatic is bunting in this situation??" When MLB moved to a universal DH, my pops and I thought those days had ended, but you still hear it all the time, somehow ("this front office hates bunting"). Not to mention how a nasally announcer will render the name "Max Muncy," hee hee.

If you think of any other commentary tics you want to add to a "parlay," LMK. (Renaming the slider the sweeper would go on my list.) Or we can just watch some games! They start at 

1 PM, TEX at BAL (FS1)

followed by

4:45, MIN at HOU (FS1)
6:07, PHI at ATL (TBS)

and
9:20, ARI at LAD (TBS)

All times ET. The bye teams join the fray today, of course, so we should see some Brownian-motion-esque craziness in our standings thanks to a bunch of picks getting on the board. I'm out of pocket until mid-afternoon but I'll see you by cocktail hour with updates.

good luck!
