I slow cooked some chicken gizzards of various sizes. There were some large ones that still came out relatively firm after 5hrs of cooking. I decided to cut them into slices and put them back in the oven to tenderize them a little more. One of the larger ones wasn’t just fibrous but had “stuff” inside it. What is this stuff and should I scoop it out and discard it?
I’ve been quite frustrated with Kyle Tucker and his intermittent output since he joined the Dodgers on an obscene contract. At this point in the young season, he’s tied for 13th amongst all RFer in OPS (0.684) and 37th amongst all OFers with Adolis García, a player who was DFAed by his original team in the off-season.
After his interview with Kristen Watson following his game-winning hit, you can see that he doesn’t panic or get too high/low in these situations, kind of similar to Will Smith. Compared to the gigantic smile of Freddie, high energy of Mookie and the combination of both with Teoscar, he barely cracked a smile or showed enthusiasm during the Q & A. There was no sigh of relief or mention of a struggle with the bat. The game has highs and lows and it seems like he typically lives in the middle.
I’m glad he got that game-winning hit last night and watched his interview afterwards. It was a new perspective and I’m more optimistic of his future output and place with the team. Now more than ever, I feel like him “hiding” in the lineup amongst the other All-Stars is an ideal fit for him and his personality.
