HOLY COW, you guys see this?! Shohei Ohtani, the Dodgers' absolute ace, got scratched as their starting pitcher last night, and talk about a curveball for L.A.! They had to scramble, rolling out RHP Kyle Hurt from the bullpen, and let me tell you, that did *not* go well.
D'Backs Jump All Over It
The Diamondbacks smelled blood, right? They came out swinging against Hurt in the first inning. Ketel Marte and Geraldo Perdomo hit back-to-back singles, just like that, and Arizona snagged a pair of runs immediately. That’s how you start a game when the other guy’s superstar is sidelined. You gotta hit 'em hard and early, right?It's All About the 7/10 Vibe
Okay, so shifting gears a bit, this game recap dropped on July 10th, and for those in the know, that's a whole thing. You remember how April 20th is usually the big "weedcap" day for some, a tradition where they review products during the game? Well, the D'Backs had an off day this year, so the celebration moved to July 10th instead. Why 7/10? Flip it upside down, and it spells "OIL." Seriously, it's become the unofficial holiday for celebrating cannabis concentrates. Pretty cool, honestly, to have another day dedicated to the good stuff.The "Rally Rig" and Killer Concentrates
Speaking of concentrates, the writer was apparently hitting their "Rally Rig" during the game, taking dabs hoping it'd juice up the D'Backs. That rig came from the Daily High Club's April "420 stoner party" subscription box, and apparently, they’ve built up a pretty sweet collection of glass pieces from them. Heads up though, unsubscribing from those boxes can be a pain, but if you're hunting for some cool gear or a gift for a friend, their website's definitely worth a look. And let's talk about what they were dabbing! They grabbed some sugar wax from Tucson SAINTS dispensary's house brand, talking Mr. Powers and Blueberry strains. Plus, some IO Extracts Pineapple Chem shatter. The Saints Wax sounds like the real MVP here: solid quality and killer value at 2.5 grams for $25 or less. IO Extracts makes quality stuff too, just maybe not quite the same bang for your buck. Gotta respect the connoisseur hustle, right? So, even with all the off-field traditions, you can't ignore the early game drama. When a big arm like Ohtani gets scratched and your bullpen gives up runs right away, that's a tough pill to swallow. It shows you how one unexpected change can totally flip the script on a game. Gotta wonder what the Dodgers are gonna do next after that kind of start.This article was created with AI assistance and reviewed by Seattle On Tap editorial staff.
