If you are from SF, or maybe Miami, you can choose Lotte who is in Busan. The "beach" city in the southern coast of Korea.

one person I'm pretty impressed with is the home plate umpire. he's calling a great game.

Ben Clemens

2:11

Concur

Mike

2:11

Adding Thames and Passan always helps too.

Ben Clemens

2:11

Passan is the man

I think I can tell this story, so I will: when I started working full time here, he DM'ed me to say congratulations and to say that he was super sorry he didn't have more time to talk to me at the winter meetings

I had talked to him for about five seconds when he was literally on his way to meet someone else

2:12

How in the world did he remember me?

And then apologize for it?

What a guy

Like, just the nicest dude in the world in addition to, you know, breaking all the news and writing a sweet book

Chad Muszynski

2:12

Home plate ump is double masked too, right?

Ben Clemens

2:12

Yep

stever20

2:12

cant wait to hear what he has to say about MLB here now.

Ben Clemens

2:12

Yeah that was a killer cut to commercial

Kyle Schwerin

2:12

Ravech showed his setup towards the end of the SVP Sportscenter and he's just watching the feed on an iPad. Seemed not ideal lol

Ben Clemens

2:13

lolllll

Getting to about halfway through beer number two on the night. Passan's 'I'm not sure if the broadcast has started up again yet' stare is weirding me out

2:14

Wow getting a bat on the slider at all is kind of impressive at this point.

Brian CashGod

2:14

oh this is great

Ben Clemens

2:14

So this seems overall positive right?

2:15

this 3b for the dinos is solid

Ben Clemens

2:15

Yeah that little adjustment on the in-between hop was hard

steven hong

2:15

Do you guys have the online stream link that's free by any chance?

Matt

2:16

It is kind of nice with all these balls in play

two nice throws back to back

Ben Clemens

2:16

Yeah I am enjoying this so far

The defense has been CRISP

I wouldn't mind a few more baserunners and some plays on the basepaths

2:17

But there have been I think 4 great defensive plays already

Social Dingering

2:17

Thoughts on the artificial noise being pumped in?

Ben Clemens

2:17

I'm fine with it

I like my baseball with a little sound

2:18

I think it'd be weird if they had fake cheers and such

BUt I don't mind just some chatter

Saladino lost a year off of his life on that check swing

Kyle Schwerin

2:18

So ESPN said they plan on showing postseason play. I wonder if that will hold true if MLB is playing? They said "for the next 6-8 weeks" showing games 6 days a week. What if MLB is playing by then? I guess there's no time overlap, but surely there'd be some resource issues in terms of announcers?

Ben Clemens

2:19

They can dig up some announcers.
