Many of us at Kaenon live the active lifestyle and so do our friends. After our initial success in the polarized sun category, the next natural evolution for Kaenon was to take our design and engineering philosophy and established reputation into the optical frame category to complement our sun and sun Rx platform.
To see a professional athlete at the top of his game on the field like Eric seamlessly adapt and take to our initial frame offering on to the field with such overwhelming success, we're confident that we're only beginning to scratch the surface of product development of this new category of Rx eyewear. To see Eric use the same product on the field that a rock star like Alabama Shakes lead singer Brittany Howard uses on stage as an accessory for style and sight is exactly what we hoped to achieve as we entered the frame business—that crossover appeal that so many of us are looking for, but simply wasn't available.
What type of feedback has Kaenon received from Eric wearing the Kaenon style? From Eric, it's been terribly satisfying. He's having his best season as a professional player, and there's a subculture of fans in Oakland who are dubbing "nerd power" around him. Because these frames are discreetly branded and designed for everyday street use, it will be our job to educate the optical community about our products, positioning and niche we're developing within this crowded space.

It wasn't particularly close to perfect. But he both made it look hard and made it look easy, because as much as he might've been laboring, the outs kept going up on the scoreboard, and he took a shutout into the seventh.
I know this was the A's, but the A's have actually been hitting well lately, and Felix by and large kept them quiet. It hasn't felt like Felix has been Felix a lot this season, right? Felix first turned into Felix on a consistent basis in , right? A comparison, with on the left, and on the right: Innings per game: 7. I know offense is down this year, which shifts the baseline, but it's funny the way an extra hit or walk here and there can alter the perception. Felix has been terrific.
He hasn't been the best pitcher in baseball, but baseball has a lot of great pitchers. Sizemore worked a long at bat and then jumped on a fastball at the belt, lining it up the middle. That's what it looked like. A line drive, that would either sink and drop in front of Guti, or hang up and get caught by Guti.
Instead it hung up and then hung up some more, staying airborne long enough to clear the fence in straightaway center field. The announcers couldn't stop talking about how weird it was that the ball left the yard, and I couldn't stop thinking about it.
I have a lot of baseball viewing experience. I feel like I'm pretty good at reading balls off the bat. I can't always tell which line drives will get caught by infielders and which line drives will go over their heads, but I can usually tell which balls are home runs, and which balls are not home runs. Bell's Palsy. It isn't bad. It isn't nearly as bad as the name makes it sound. Pennington is currently considered day-to-day and should be back in the lineup shortly. But Oakland's starting shortstop, riding the longest hitting streak of his career, was removed in the sixth inning with facial paralysis.
I see your list of weird baseball injuries and disabilities, and raise you Bell's Palsy. And the fourth is that Pennington's replacement at short was Eric Sogard , and Eric Sogard wears glasses. Not goggles. He doesn't wear badass sports goggles. He wears glasses. I was aware of this before and I've made fun of Sogard in spring training threads, but I always figured that's where my Sogard jokes would remain. Spring training threads.
I never expected to see him in the Major Leagues. Maybe that wasn't fair. I've never been real up to speed on what Sogard brings to the table. I've never been familiar with his skillset. But here's what I did know about him:. That was all I needed to know. He's a little white dude with glasses. There was no way he'd turn into a quality baseball player. He could turn into a guy who writes about quality baseball players, and he could turn into a guy who trades quality baseball players, either in real life or on the internet, but he couldn't turn into a quality baseball player himself.
It was impossible. Or so I thought, but there he was tonight, doing everything with glasses on. And I guess for him, he can kind of think of it as, how can he use himself in a situation and use me there. I definitely love having him as a manager. I think managers who have played before get respect from the players because they went through it. They understand the everyday grind and how tough this game can be. Is that the case with the team as well? Very similar.
And I think you need that throughout a long season. Why do fans seem to gravitate toward you? My glasses just help me see. I think that might be a little bit of it. Hopefully the way I play, too. I hope people enjoy watching me play hard. Not at all.
