The IT miniseries on ABC(?)

That Tellez at bat was the extent of me ever hoping for a good thing to happen to a guy in a Braves uniform.

000

John Smoltz really wants you to understand how important it was that Harris got to third. However no one is talking about how poorly Teoscar played that ball into the corner which allowed it. Then the wild pitch happens and Smoltz wants you to feel like he has magic predictive powers.

Could be worse. You could get the unrelenting spread of ads for Kalshi, Capital One, and Liberty Mutual

John Smoltz does not care what Joe Davis was talking about at all. Just cuts him off mid-sentence in a story about Max Muncy's maturity to talk for the second time in the at bart about too many sliders like people weren't listening the first time. So annoying. Just shut up man.

Seriously, how many years do I have to listen to his blabbermouth from snap of the glove until wind up with the next pitch. He just doesn't quit. There's no quiet ever when he's in the booth.

000

Nope. Didn't miss John Smoltz and his need to talk constantly.

000

God postgame interviews are so worthless: - How do you feel Mason? How do you think he feels? - What makes Jackson able to to those things Christian? He's a top tier million dollar athlete, the greats do it one in three tries. Just let these dudes get a shower.

000

Oh hey it's that time of year when some of the people that I follow for baseball content start talking about football like I care.

000

One game in the books in Milwaukee and I'm still not sure who I'm rooting for in this series. The other ones are clear as day to me.

000

So banana ball is stupid. I've seen it live. I wanted out of there in the third inning. I also think the ground rule in Milwaukee is stupid. If your roof stops what's going to be a sure home run it should still be a home run We literally have statcast to project this.

220

I'm pretty sure the rules should be if the roof of your stadium gets in the way of what would be a sure-home run it's still a home run. What a dumb ground rule.

000

Also Adam Wainwright is paying so little attention to what is going on he's slowly slipping into becoming the next Keith Hernandez up there in that booth

000

I'm not sure that you can repeatedly quantify that someone struggled all year against a team they played a grand total of six times.

000

If Austin Wells was just going to end up out he could have done all of us a really cool favor and grounded out to preserve the no-hitter. It's been awhile since we've seen one.

000

Ok i found a use for AI. Use it to shorten the crap Shehadi regurgitates.

000

At this point, we should not be explaining PitchCom on national braodcasts unless we want to describe it as "this dumb thing that MLB put into play after the Astros cheated as an overreaction instead of disciplining them correctly. Oh and it never works, we should use signs"

000

Nope. I am a veteran and that "Department of War" ad does nothing but make me cringe. Not sure what that's supposed to be appealing to. It sure is not patriotism.

000

anytime anyone mentions that film all I can think about is Long Way Down by the Goo Goo Dolls.

Nope, didn't miss TBS presentations of baseball or Lauren Shehadi.

000

Just saying we should not be running ads for horror films during baseball games at 6:30pm ET when kids might be watching.

001

I love the optimism that there will be baseball activities and no lock out on March 1st.

000

Using Sale up 4 in the 8th feels like Overkill. Why use him at all given that the Phillies haven't been able to get a hit off anybody basically.

000

Nice throwing of the bat like a pedantic child Acuna. Grow up.

000

I'm getting super close to going to radio only for a lot of these games just because I can't stand the ads.

000

I'm not sure what MLB is thinking. But non-stop advertisements for AI and betting are just going to piss people off. I want to have nothing to do with either one of these things.

000

Well at least I can go to bed in a human hour tonight. This one is over.

000

At some point Bob Costas please just stop showing up for the postseason. At least you're not calling games anymore.

000

Weird. I do not see new GM or someone who knows how to manage a bullpen in there. Give Dkelly all the arms in the world and he will leave all of them in there to long or use the wrong one.

000

It's kind of funny that the Red Sox probably sold a bunch of playoff gear that says no time like October and they won't play a game in October

000

I love it that PCA let his whiny nature get the best of him. Who the hell challenges a pitch with no one on in the top of the first of a playoff game? It just cropped up because Ian Happ could not challenge a ball outside of the zone and it led to an out.

000

For the record I posted this before the Ballinger home run. Dang. Just got to hope the Yankees are getting it all out of their system so they can lose in the divisional round.

000

I'll go ahead and switch over to the series I care more about now anyway. Pretty sure Boston's season just exploded in front of them and I'm much more interested in seeing a sad PCA.

000

I don't get the philosophy of overload people with product exposure to break their will. How does that convince people to buy something. Are you counting on the subliminal product recognition because it doesn't work that way for me. I surely recognize it but as annoying and something I should avoid.

000

And if you're trying to sell me a sport other than baseball it's never going to work. I don't watch the NFL or the NBA. Even if you gave me WNBA tickets for life all I would do is give them away.

100

If you are a spokesperson for a product which is harmful such as sports betting or prediction markets I remember that. I lose all respect for you. I see you as a person who cares about money more than people. I'll never forget it.

100

I don't know what advertisements are supposed to do but here is what they do to me. I see your annoying and unfunny ad and I become angry with your company. If your ad directly interrupts what I'm trying to watch such as a mid-inning ad I will remember and intentionally not buy your product.

100

Especially to replace him with a pitcher who the Yankees saw yesterday who has two good pitches. One of those is a slider and the guy he faced is the second best in the AL at hitting the slider. Felt like a panic move and a mistake due to the anemic offense.

Did a Rick Vaughn reference just get used to describe a Max Fried fastball?

000

So let me get this straight. Fanatics is going to effectively give people store credit for every bet on their sportsbook win or lose so people can be lured to spend even more money buying swag for their team because Fanatics have a monopoly on licensed gear That sure seems safe & free market.

000

Or betting ads of any kind. Can we sign up for a bonus so that I don't see any more mid inning ads when a new batter is coming to the plate. All of that would be great

020

The mid inning advertisements are out of hand this postseason. Do we really need an ad that no one wants to see in between batters. All it does is guarantee I'm not going to Ace Hardware because you're pissing me off.

000

That shouldn't be a hit for Chisholm. Bag was not covered by Contreras. No idea how that is not scored an error. Throw was on target from Story on his dumper.

000

Astros gone. Need the Phillies to win game 3 and I can exhale about the worst teams in these playoffs.

000

Nope, the Astros did in 2017.
