Looking at called strike threes apparently is our thing.

I'm less concerned about a swoon than about the game itself, as the 5-6-7 Mets strike out in order.

Mets kinda suck. Details at eleven.

Seattle's defense has been blessed by Willie Mays.

ESPN insults no other fans the way they do with baseball where they deem that the game is of secondary importance to the booth.

I wouldn’t mind the local food angle. I think that’s something cool that a national broadcast can do. It’s just that they’re something different every single inning. Mic up the player. Mic up the manager. In game interview with someone in the crowd.Frayed Knot wrote: ↑Sun Aug 11, 2024 8:21 pm ESPN insults no other fans the way they do with baseball where they deem that the game is of secondary importance to the booth.
Everything but the game.

I don't know if it's the twilight or what, but the radio guys have been blowing a lot of calls.

Look, GKR do food things too but we've never missed action and/or had it shrunk to a small box when doing so, or when talking to Gelbs, or during in-game interviews. But ESPN does it regularly because they don't think people tune into SNB in order to watch baseball, they think we tune in to watch ESPN.I wouldn’t mind the local food angle.

They wouldn't dare do that to NFL or NBA fans because they actually give a shit about those sports. But they don't care about baseball fans because they don't actually know any.

Faceplant run, followed by a gargantuan homer.
Not our weekend.

And now a bobble leads to three runs (or more?).

Oh good, another fucking shrunken screen!!
It's been several decades since I watched baseball on a 19" screen but the four-letter network is bringing it back.

Oh good. Another in-game interview.
Re: IGT Aug. 11 Mets vs Mariners, Bats Sleeping in Seattle
I'm almost rooting for them not to score a run.

Rude of McNeil to interrupt the booth by hitting a HR.
I’m sorry George. You were saying?

The "E" in ESPN stands for Entertainment.
But they think because it comes first in their name, they think it comes first in our priority.
And their definition of entertainment is much different than that of sports fans.

No it isn't because they don't do this to any other sport.
Could you imagine them intentionally missing plays on MNF to interview a mic'd up player on the bench.
I'll answer that: 'Fuck no!'

How is there a bullpen roster crunch when Stanek is still on the team

Well we're going to lose this game by double digits ... but at least we avoided the triple shutout.
That counts as progress these days.

Stanek putting on a clinic here.
Just not the helpful kind of clinic.
