  1. Coomer with some unintentional satire this inning that would make Christopher Guest blush
  2. I think the reason it’s not reviewable is that too many things happen dependent on the original call after. Imagine this identical play happens in the bottom of the 9th of a tie playoff game. You review it and see it hit the ground, but what’s the ultimate call? If the call on the field was no catch Bryant is going to ensure he gets the lead runner, can we assume he would’ve been out or that there would be a double play?
  3. How far does the moustakas home run go without a juiced ball, i say maybe 300 feet
  4. If you start the next inning you have to get to three total batters faced.
  5. This is not specific to golf(I hate playing and think it’s borderline immoral/90% of courses should be parks instead), but in similar circumstances i find site:reddit.com searches and poking around/searching any specific subreddits that turns up ends up giving me a fairly useful barometer after 30 mins or so.
  6. Robel was a fun story last year, but he can’t field and got exploited pretty bad at the plate with minimal MLB exposure. Can’t say that I’m too worried about losing him given his age and the presence of Hoerner, Kipnis, Bote, Dietrich, and even Happ and Short.
  7. Leicester’s trajectory is definitely disappointing, but I think I saw today that they have 2 guys making 100k/week (their opponent today has 10 with a bunch of those over 200k), and that this was their 2nd season in 57 years in the Top 5(this might be slightly off but the spirit is true). Since they were the ones who won it a few years ago I think we understate the degree of an upset their position is. As for Chelsea, this is likely just me wanting to see more Pulisic, but I could see them pulling off a Liverpool v. Barca against Bayern, who will have been a month since their last competitive match(and locked up the title early too).
  8. It’s been so long that I had forgotten how much better JD is than basically every other analyst around
  9. NWSL Cup final between Chicago and Houston on big CBS right now. I'm no diehard but following Chicago a bit from a distance seems like they're a consistently strong team, and they have a couple USWNT stalwarts in Ertz and Naeher. Also if you're into jerseys, both of theirs this year are tremendous. You can't quite make it out but the blue stripes in the white kit spell out every neighborhood in the city. Also both jerseys have an outline of the skyline on the back.
  10. I know he’s at the bottom of the pecking order, but following Darvish feels like not the best way to set up Underwood for success
  11. Okay now I see why they didn’t do virtual fans for pitcher/batter view, it’s a horrorshow
  12. 50+ minutes in and we head to the bottom of the 2nd of a 1-1 game, brutal
  13. Right call by Javy. Bryant threw the ball too early and let Cain off the hook. Cain was still an easy out before he started caring about the other runner.
  14. It’s a tough job, but Caratini lost multiple strikes for Yu that inning. He has a hard enough time without losing 20% of non-swings
  15. The fake fans thing seems extra pointless if they’re not doing it during pitcher/batter shots and only in super specific instances
  16. Same, I'm not a big fan of the second leadoff bit they're doing with Happ, but he's had enough inconsistency that I'm okay with him hitting his way up the lineup as long as he gets that shot.
  17. that Brewers lineup on the other hand, man that's doing a lot of hoping that Hiura keeps a .400 BABIP and that Smoak and Braun aren't washed
  18. that lineup is doing a lot of things I like or maybe a better way to say it is that lineup is avoiding a lot of the mistakes I might be afraid of
  19. does youtube tv have espn? (even if youtubetv had marquee you wouldn't be able to watch outside of the cubs viewing area - but you can on MLB.tv - for games that aren't already being nationally televised, that is) Yes, YTTV has basically every near-mainstream sports channel save for maybe NFL Network.
  20. [tweet]https://twitter.com/BromleySoccer/status/1286444533379735555[/tweet]
  21. oh no, Wigan tied their last 2 matches and missed being safe even with the administration penalty by 2 points
  22. How sure are we that Friedman is not imprisoned in his own home/had his family kidnapped, because this is just what a distress signal for him would look like
