I see you're in about the same mindset this morning as I have been lately.😉

Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers isn't the only baseball pitcher in his home.

On Wednesday, Aug. 28, thousands of fans watched Dekopin "Decoy" Ohtani's dog, deliver a perfect first pitch to his owner for their bobblehead night at Dodger Stadium.

In a video shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) by the Los Angeles Dodgers, Ohtani, 30, carries his pet as he walks onto the field to help Decoy with the dog's first pitch.

Footage of Decoy's first pitch shows the dog fetching the ball more than throwing it. In the clip of the pup's pitch, Decoy grabs the ball with his mouth and runs it from the pitcher's mound to Ohtani, who is squatting in the batter's box.

Following the successful pitch, Decoy received a treat from his proud owner and enthusiastic applause from the audience, many of whom came to the game to receive the night's promotional item: a bobblehead featuring Ohtani and Decoy.

I've been gettting that robot thing a lot lately too.  It seems to be something new since I've never had it pop up here before.

I hate those sites that have the tiny little pictures and want you to pick all the ones that have a [something] in them.  I never can see them well and if I enlarge the screen they're too fuzzy to see what's in the picture!

There are many days I wish I could eliminate the internet altogether.  But I'd miss talking to so many people--like you all here!❤️❤️❤️❤️

So far I’ve had no problems. I wonder if being on my phone makes a difference.
