2017 Altherr has hit a home run already here

NC Dino’s Fairweather Super Stan

2:59

I think the true test of the broadcasts is how they will allow the announcers to showcase the player’s personality as the Season progresses.

Ben Clemens

2:59

I'm curious to see how they'll handle these broadcasts as they continue

Today's is just 'here's baseball, revel in it!'

3:00

I'll be interested to see how they follow stories and so on

3:00

ahhhh unlucky there for altherr

stever20

3:00

Altherr has had the close but no cigar day for sure....

Ben Clemens

3:00

Owie

Two of three balls have been absolutely stung

Matt

3:01

I really wish the US was on the metric system

Ben Clemens

3:01

I mean.... I have some bigger wishes right now, but fair

3:02

A quick programming note: I'm going to call it a night in 30 minutes

Hahahaha wow are you guys seeing this KT Wiz socially distanced first pitch ceremony?

That's tremendous

David

3:03

The bubble? lol

Brian CashGod

3:03

to hell with social distancing, let's just all climb in bubbles for the next month!

What is the level of hitting Lee Jung-Hoo?

Ben Clemens

3:03

I haven't yet seen him hit, but the numbers look good!

3:04

More singles and doubles than dingers, but a very solid line

The Heroes just mash

3:05

They are the best hitting team in the league

Brian CashGod

Ravech with the good understanding of wyverns vs dragons - he's correct, the "dragons" on GoT were actually wyverns

dragons have four legs, wyverns have two

Ben Clemens

3:05

Lol, late night proper technical mythological animals

3:07

I like the cement design in the outfield with the park sort of built into the hillside

Ben Clemens

3:07

This stadium feels like an upper-minors park to me, I'm into it

Rucinski is working the two-seamer off the plate away to lefties

3:08

That's a great pitch against lefties. I wondered how he'd fare given his slider matters so much, but yeah, it's fine

Kyle Schwerin

3:08

Saupold finishes off the CG SHO 2-hitter on 101 pitches. Not bad.

Ben Clemens

3:08

So close to the sub-100 pitch shutout

But yeah, that's dealing

Mike

Looking up some older articles on these KBO players is fun. Altherr/Thames comparison...

Ben Clemens

3:09

Yeah, Altherr was a real thing then!

I mean, that 2017 didn't really look fluky

3:10

He just smashed the ball, basically

3:11

He was great, and his xwOBA was telling you it wasn't completely fake

He really did hit the ball really hard and get it in the air

And then......
