text a buddy on the TBS crew: if there's a CLE pitching change mid-inning, *please* stay with the crowd and lay out in the booth. The Southside singing Steam in unison is just so damn beautiful.

Brandon Gaudin is one of the best that this business has to offer. An awesome dude at the helm of ridiculous pipes. Game 4 is in terrific hands for FOX.

Joe D's voice box has been hanging on by a thread since his last regular-season series on SNLA. The "national" conversation about supposed bias and call quality is silly when he's healthy, it's been especially misguided recently given he simply has not been able to let it go on calls--LA or ATL.

Braves got as many innings from Didier Fuentes as the Dodgers got from Blake Snell (on nearly half the pitches😬). Outside two swings, LA big bats came up small despite early traffic. The NLDS is tied 1-1 headed to Atlanta with a Yamamoto-Sale duel on tap (their last matchup in August was epic duel!)

Edman's failed bunt (didn't love the call, but if it's on, that's something a hitter like Tommy has to execute), couldn't move the meatiest of middle-middle heaters in 2nd AB. Need a base-runner and a spark? that was the spot for JDP. not sure why he's on the roster if not for there.

Damn, what a swing from Freddie Freeman. Obviously tied the score. But bigger picture: he needed that (1HR final 66 games). Crowd did, too. They were out of it, mostly because of Snell's disappointing start and the offense's poor start (see: Bottom 3rd). Now, the Ravine has some juice flowing again.

WHAT?!?!? Kidding (kind of). I'm not sure you can full adjust to be honest. It has absolutely impacted calls and vocal cords, particularly on radio because we have less technology than a full TV truck audio system. So you're kind of fighting the sound mix a bit more, if that makes sense.

Stephen Nelson @stephennelson.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
jokes aside, this isn't what the Dodgers want from Snell. He drew the better game time/temp, the "cooler" atmosphere compared to the more angst-ridden Game 1 or a road-opening, pivotal Game 3. And he's already laboring, fighting command, maybe nibbling, certainly issuing walks.

good question about the umpires. They have reserves on site, and I'd imagine clubbies can/do run them supplies or refreshments. ... and the decision to have this series start at 1pm today was rooted in TV networks. This 1pm game is on "big FOX" and the night game is on FS1.

Andy...we've been over this. Several times. Pages saw Mookie pass up a challenge in the first inning, and decided to yeet one out regardless of location.

Last time working a Dodgers-Braves postseason series. What a wildly different world…
Manny Machado as a Dodger in 2018. Weird. Freddie Freeman as a Brave in 2018. Crazy to say, but it’s now a little weird!Charlie Culberson. As gentlemanly and handsome as can be in 2018. What a guy![redacted] but selfishly it’s a fun photo???

Yes, people are. And I agree on NFL—can't avoid Goliath. But I think the league should do what it can to maximize its audience any time, esp. postseason. And MLB has a better chance of cutting into those 2-3M Friday numbers with this slate than it does Saturday. Maybe I'm wrong (wife says odds are!)

No, Lee! We will not stop until 90 percent of the league makes the postseason! MORE WILD CARDS

some, perhaps (and with any fan base. the Dodger fan/media qualification is silly.) But I would not. Again, there was a 162-game marathon folks always talk about wanting to make matter. Alas, this isn't my call, and I'll still be at work tomorrow 😂

Are we arguing that Pitt-Va Tech (7pm ET), LIBERTY-DELAWARE (7pm ET) and Penn State-Northwestern (8pm)--and that's it in FBS play today--is the same H2H fight for baseball as a full, AM-to-PM Saturday CFB schedule?

and if you wanted to argue that ATL should have an off/travel day, sure, I wouldn't die on that hill. Have MIL-SD start tonight, and/or either ALDS.

Stephen Nelson @stephennelson.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
good call by MLB/FOX/TBS to not have any games tonight. Much better to go up against CFB & the NFL, and have everybody talking about Saturday game-time temps at Dodger Stadium vs discourse about actual primetime action on Friday 🙃 ("But ATL travel!" tough. Earn a bye or win the WC in two games)

Another reminder that it’s all relative, right? The Dodgers have been to the post more years consecutively (14, w/ 13 division titles) than the White Sox have been in their entire history (12). Some seemingly insignificant wins/accomplishments mean a helluva lot to a helluva lot.

Dad sending emotional and fired up texts about the Sox have been the best part of the 2026 baseball season. First is from after the postseason clinch. Second is from tonight. Vintage Pops 😂
Text from my dad about the White Sox, from after they clinched a postseason berth: "they havent won anything yet but its already one of my favkrite Sox teams of my lifetime."Text from Dad, after the White Sox eliminates the Astros: "your turn Cleveland"
