(I did a couple innings, not a full broadcast)

Resolved:  Cardboard cutout fans also need to have pictures of the backs of their heads
TKDC

They also aren’t actually there. That probably impacts how they announce.
Ben Clemens
11:54
I think that's most of it
Guest

Do they still do KBO games live? Feels like nobody watches them anymore
Ben Clemens
11:54
Jeez, Idina Menzel getting checks too

the Yankees booth took it like a normal game the other night, broadcasting from the Bronx while they played in Queens
Eric A Longenhagen
11:54
They do. I watched the weekend 10pm west coast game until they took them away. Now I watch some replays based on who's playing.
Ben Clemens
11:55
I guess that breaks the streak of Anna Kendrick being in every single commercial where someone needs a celebrity
Chico Herrera
11:55
Let's have Bill Walton and Rex Hudler call these games
Dodger Fan
11:56
Could *we* talk more about the game?
Ben Clemens
11:56
A fair counterpoint
It has, to be fair, been a tame affair so far
11:57
They are pushing this narrative that the Giants had a regime change over the winter hard
Guys, the Giants have been bad for YEARS

via Statcast only 4 balls with exit velos of 100+, 2 off May and 1 each off Cueto and Smyly
Eric A Longenhagen
11:57
Rico threw really hard in relief with COL, not so much as a starter.
Ben Clemens
11:57
Not having Lux on the roster messes with the Dodgers' infield depth a little
Eric A Longenhagen
11:58
Brody Stevens sighting
Ben Clemens
11:58
Like Hernandez should only start against lefties really
Aristedes Antetukounmpp
11:58
i need a Rico Garcia scouting report
Ben Clemens
11:58
I suppose they weren't brave enough to go Rios at first/Muncy at second
Eric A Longenhagen
Dodger Fan
11:59
Well Muncy could play second and Rios first, so it's not like Roberts was forced to use Kiké.
Eric A Longenhagen
11:59
93-96, average changeup and slider, couldn't velo late. Was in the extras
Ben Clemens
11:59
Haha I was getting to that! But yeah I think they plan on having Muncy 1st-only if possible this year
Guest

Was Lux’s option purely service time?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:59
Kiké also looked incredible during intrasquads.
Ben Clemens
11:59
Curious to see what Eric thinks about this
*** Friday, July 24 ***
Ben Clemens

I say no

Lux showed up late due to "undisclosed reasons" for absence
and had some struggles on both sides of the ball
Ben Clemens
12:00
I think they're unlikely to keep him down the month they'd need
AvatarJay Jaffe
12:00
service time might be in there but plausible he's just not ready and they have insane depth
Eric A Longenhagen
12:00
What game is that, Ben?
Ben Clemens
12:01
Hm? Oh, I meant the service time game with Lux
AvatarJay Jaffe
12:01
Now: source says Blue Jays will call up Nate Pearson July 29, that's some service time games
Eric A Longenhagen
12:01
Oh, he definitely has issues throwing to first base. He either needs to get that ironed out or get reps in LF.
Ben Clemens
12:02
Dylan Carlson? Service time too
But I don't buy Lux
