Welcome to the last Friday Screencaps in the month of June. That doesn’t seem possible as I type that out, but it is. That's how time and calendars work. For those of you who missed it, Joe has made the call to the bullpen.
This is the first of my relief appearances, which will run until he returns next Friday. The column will be dark on Saturday, Joe's call, not mine. I'll be back on Sunday through Thursday, so keep those emails coming this week.
We're going to get started today with some news involving the "Masters Girl," Aaliyah Kikumoto. The former member of the Texas Tech Pom Squad who went viral during the Masters several years ago has followed in her mom's footsteps and become a professional cheerleader.
She announced earlier this week that she is now a Miami Dolphins cheerleader.

"Still feels surreal getting to say… I AM A MIAMI DOLPHINS CHEERLEADER🧡🩵A HUGE thank you to @kashgarrett @alison_brooke @em_ehrl for believing in me and giving me this opportunity!," Aaliyah wrote about becoming one of the newest Miami Dolphins cheerleaders.
"I can’t wait to see what this next chapter brings and to represent this organization both on and off the field. This is seriously a dream come true. I’m so grateful for everyone who has supported me along the way and for the opportunity to continue doing what I love the most."
The transition from internet star and college dancer to professional cheerleader isn't a surprising one. As I mentioned, performing at the professional level is in her blood. Mom AJ Kikumoto is a model and a former Denver Nuggets dancer.
Congratulations to Aaliyah and the Kikumoto family, friends of OutKick. Heading to the NFL is a big deal. We'll be keeping an eye on her rookie season in a Dolphins uniform. Best of luck.Pitchers

Skenes is obviously great. But when the Mariners have there two minor leaguers Kade Anderson and Ryan Sloan both in the rotation in the next year or so, look out. They pitch double headers in AA Arkansas, mostly because the M’s already have too many good pitchers at the major league level. Either of them would be #2 or 3 on a lot of major rosters. Take a look..
Have a great day..

I can barely keep up with what's going on in the Yankees farm system. Not to mention the fact that I want nothing but failure for the entire Mariners organization. I'll worry about these two supposed studs if they ever make it to the big leagues.
The Pittsburgh Pirates are about as far into the Minor Leagues as I get (I know they're not in the minors, it's a joke, but I can't wait for Paul Skenes to get called up to the Bronx).

Jim, I love the charcoal grill. I love the petit steaks. You have some company today in the charcoal grill department, which is awesome. Keep tossing the meat on and keep sending it my way.

Nice little camp trip last weekend. My travel charcoal grill looked great!

This is awesome. A little camping trip, a travel charcoal grill, and some meat. The only thing that could have made it better is a Bigfoot sighting. That would have been the perfect trip. Although, I'm betting you had a decent one despite not being visited by a mythical creature.
Chicken!

I forgot to take a before and during pictures. 4 chickens on the Oklahoma Joe smoker #notsponsered, pecan and apple wood. Final results..

Next time on the before and during pictures. We don't meat shame around here. If all you have is your meat afterwards, send it in. You can't go wrong with meat on the smoker.
Brad Pitt

Hey Sean- Brad Pitt either has Parkinson’s or dude did an 8 ball during the hydration break. I’m leaning towards the 8 ball as he was rather "stable" during first half of US match when cameras panned to Brad and Ed Norton…

Hi Sean. Thanks for taking the reins while Joe is golfing. I’ve been watching USA play soccer tonight and my family wants to know why no body from a soccer group, federation or whatever the governing body is called, has ever heard of a stop watch for keeping time.
Greg in Nebraska, but not the miserable guy who hates America.
SeanJo
Soccer? Are we talking about soccer? I know the USMNT was playing last night, I know they lost, but I didn’t watch a second of it. I saw Brad Pitt on social media, but I don't know anything about this post-hydration break version of him. I didn’t see it.
I'm not one of these people who pretends to care about soccer when the World Cup rolls around. I'll cover the happenings in the stands, which are often more entertaining than the action on the field and the viral fans (the same can be said for them), but the USMNT is going to have to go deep in the tournament to get my attention.
I blame my lack of interest in the sport on it being forced down society's throat my entire life. For that reason, I don't trust it and have never been interested. Had it become popular organically, I may have learned to tolerate it or even enjoy it.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
Having said all that, I don't get stoppage time or whatever it's called and I don't know how they keep time. Give me a deep World Cup run and I'll tune in.

That's it for my first relief appearance. I have a few emails that I didn’t get to this morning. I will get to those and whatever else comes my way. I'll see everyone on Sunday.
Keep sending in your meat and let's keep the inbox full throughout the week next week [email protected]. You can also follow me on Twitter and over on Instagram if you'd like. Feel free to slide into the DMs.
