[Tryptamine]

I like Len and Bob because they compliment the game. These ESPN guys are just a talk show with a game in the background.

Everyone knows opps didn't exist back then.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fukudome struck out swinging

[CubInOK]

The last few posts make me love Gameday Audio that much more.

 

Which has been absolutely, unworkably terrible this year.

It's working for me now. But yea, it was bad earlier.

[Butterscup1679666578]

i wouldve liked an appeal

[BCVM22]

Like hell he did!

[Tryptamine]

Way to appeal to the guy who actually has a view of the swing blue.

Yeah, but what was he like psychologically? Besides, it's spelled ahps.

[Careless]

No, home plate umpire, you do not make that call. You ask the third base umpire.

That would be a crazy DP. I mean, 2 outs and a man on 2nd... :scratch:

No, it's still terrible for what it is. When they actually archive the game streams - the WGN streams of only two of the first five games are available - there are no play controls.

Ehhh, I was assuming a walk

[third eye]

Anyone else getting a less-than-HD feed from ESPNHD? Seems kinda crappy here.

cantstandya!

[Fred Hornkohl]

No, home plate umpire, you do not make that call. You ask the third base umpire.

 

Actually, it's completely at the discretion of the home plate umpire whether he wants check with the 1st or 3rd base umpire. He is not obligated to ask them, it's his call.

[Tryptamine]

Are we far enough into the season where we can start hating on lee legitimately?

[Guest]

Lee is struggling so much right now.

[BCVM22]

Blah.

Did Kosuke actually swing there? I never saw the side view.

Only a complete jerk with an unrealistic view of his abilities calls that on his own. The man is a terrible umpire and this is just another example. Ego is just about the worst thing you can have in an umpire/referee/judge

[Cynosure]

Ok Houdini, start pitching well.
