He's spotting it off the sinker really well too

Zak

2:04

Loved that article from Dan but thought he kinda skipped over Ui-Ji Yang's absurd projections

Ben Clemens

2:04

That's coming tomorrow!

What if Mike Piazza were reborn as a KBO catcher?

Jonesy Whales

2:04

Looks like the Giants/Wiz game is getting underway shortly, too

Ben Clemens

2:05

ohhhhhhh my goodness that latest Rucinski strikeout

That's unfair

Waffles

2:05

Do you think the diversity in pitching and hitting styles is due to the newer league and no big names to copy or something different?

Ben Clemens

2:05

I'm honestly not sure

stever20

2:05

how did the Marlins not keep him after 2018? He wasn't bad for them in 2018.

Ben Clemens

2:05

Money, basically

He got more in the KBO

Matt

2:06

Since the bat flips are big here, do the pitchers celebrate more as well?

Because he should be dancing after these Ks

Ben Clemens

2:06

I'd be in for it

David

2:06

If you are having trouble choosing teams, you can choose by your favorite corporation (lol) since they are all owned by corporations, or city (3 in Seoul, 2 in neighboring counties, 1 by the bay (Lotte), 1 near the bay (NC), and the 3 others in rural areas)

Ben Clemens

2:06

The Heroes aren't owned by a corporation, right?

2:07

But yeah, that's another way of doing it

Check out the Wiz's mascots when you get a chance, though

Chad Muszynski

2:07

Need moar batflips. The pitching has been fun though, especially Rucinski.

Ben Clemens

2:07

Yeah that first inning made me think we might be getting a shootout

The top of the first, specifically

But Baek has actually looked quite good since then

2:08

kt wiz's corporation is a huge starcraft esports team apparently

Ben Clemens

2:08

Whoa really?

LG Twins fan

2:08

Yes the Heroes are sponsored, but not owned.

David

2:08

Yes Ben, not owned technically by a corporation. Just a collection of people

So maybe that's a selling point for fan loyalty

Ben Clemens

2:08

Thanks! That's quite cool. The Green Bay Packers are like that in the US, but it's quite rare here, and that's a fun thing

2:09

maybe not kt wiz actually now that i'm looking it up. but one of the teams was a starcraft team

Ben Clemens

2:09

Haha ah dang

Rob

2:09

Thank you all for being part of one of my happiest moments in months. I'll be hitting the sack now. Go Rucinski!

Ben Clemens

2:09

Have a great night!

Chad Muszynski

2:09

Loved him but can you really say BK Kim won the WS for the Diamondbacks?

Ben Clemens

2:09

He wore Jeter down

For Randy and Curt

2:09

"The owners of the team also own KT Rolster, one of the world’s top Starcraft e-sports teams"

Ben Clemens

2:09

Bang, right all along

Jonesy Whales

2:09

The English broadcast is honestly quite good, especially for doing it the first time and it being 2 AM on the east coast. Impressive!

Ben Clemens

2:10

100% agreed. It's tough not to be in person, and Ravech sometimes has an 'I'm looking at this small buffering monitor' face
