April 7, 20214 yr They gotta long way to go to 'beat' the '88 Orioles. It's really statistically challenging to have both the worst offense and the worst pitching in the same season. But hey, people forget the '88 Orioles were the 7th best fielding team in the American League. The A's are also rock bottom in offense and pitching...but FIFTH in fielding. See...gotta look on the bright side.
April 7, 20214 yr Just got the nod for opening day at Chavez Ravine. Fully vaxed and 33% capacity. Rings and banner time. Gonna be awesome!
April 7, 20214 yr I'm almost certain that the North Valley League Bears have morphed into the Pirates this season.
April 7, 20214 yr Great start for new guy. Quote Just as George Springer was nearing his return from a left oblique strain, the Blue Jays’ star center fielder felt tightness in his right quad while running the bases on Tuesday. The new injury cut Springer’s baserunning session short, and he underwent an MRI. The Blue Jays are waiting on the results of that test, manager Charlie Montoyo said prior to Wednesday afternoon’s series finale against the Rangers at Globe Life Field. “He did the live batting practice and everything was fine,” Montoyo explained. “Then it was time for him to run the bases, and when he was running the bases, he felt a tightness in the quad and stopped. As the day went on, he felt like, ‘OK, this is not just a cramp,’ and that’s when we got the MRI.”

I don't get the hate for these guys, but I've heard it enough to think that I may be wrong. I still think KC, STL, and COL have much worse announcing teams, to name a few. I also think going from Hawk Harrelson to Benetti may be the greatest upgrade in announcing history.
April 7, 20214 yr Pretty funny they’re using Pham & that scrub in CF while Grisham is out, as opposed to the guy a certain Astro fan wanted for CF/SS/3B insurance.

I almost exclusively listen to KMOX as opposed to watching. Mclaughlin isn't great and Edmunds is horrible. Would rather listen to Shannon get hammered.

During this particular point they were talking about the Nats "still have fight in them." Then one of the two just went into this random word play with "fight hard, fight club....fight to live...if you're a USC Trojan, fight on." I'm obviously paraphrasing but he did include fight club and USC in his 'bit.' At the USC point I flipped over to the Braves. Edit: I haven't heard them this year, but I remember not liking the COL announcers at all last year. Edited April 7, 20214 yr by MC Fresh Breath

I tried KMOX the other day, but it was about 5 seconds behind the video. I usually watch the other team's video, but the Marlins' broadcast has been down today. Edmonds is a complete beating. He's both dumb and uninteresting.

Drew Goodman is still the PBP, and I assume he's still pissed off at the world because every umpire is trying to screw the Rockies on every call.
April 8, 20214 yr I’m seeing that “runner starts at 2nd” rule for the first time in the Os-Yanks game. Os bunted the runner over to 3rd with the first batter in the 11th, then he scored when the next batter hit a 7000 foot high pop up to shallow left that Gardner was too slow to even get close to. I got even more pissed when I immediately remembered arguing with @Beau Vine last year, I said it was a good rule change and no one would ever actually bunt with the first batter. It’s a stupid as fuck rule seeing it play out in person and I hate it.

April 8, 20214 yr BAAAAAAAAAANG!!!! THUH YANKEES LOSE!!! THUH YANKEES LOSE!!! "And Gio gets it right in the face."
April 8, 20214 yr That was the worst fucking scoring attempt I’ve ever seen in my life. Oh my god. Go fuck yourself Urshela you slow fucking loser. God damn it. Whats the logic in giving up an out when you’re down to your last 3 outs? That bunt by Gardner was so stupid.
April 8, 20214 yr That runner on 2nd in extra innings rule should not have been brought back. Fuck Manfred.
April 8, 20214 yr When they are showing hitter's stats from "last season" are they using 2020? Because that was not a season.

April 8, 20214 yr Mets announcing crew, despite all the outside drama, still pretty damn good. Honest about that one.

This will eliminate the need for all involved to obscure their mouths while speaking to one another. This will keep their top secret pitching plans being deciphered by National Association of the Deaf members or the Astros.
