you don't need to cheat at that hat thing (on the video board). i have never gotten it wrong.

[David]

one of the most frustrating little things for me in my years of watching baseball has always been seeing 3-2 strikes fouled off/spoiled

[David]

and since i started typing that, it has happened 3 times

[David]

Addy is putting in a lot of work today

 

I am talking to myself in here like I'm Fred in late 2012.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Nice start, Jon.

Worse for me is rooting for a batter in a 3-2 count repeatedly foul off ball 4 and then commit an out IMO

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have outscored the Pirates 5-0 in the 3rd inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[David]
