What Dan you're not pumped for the Tommy Milone experience?

Dan Szymborski

7:41

Milone had to check the roster to see if HE was on the team

If they go the route of digitally adding crowd noise to broadcasts they need to make sure it is realistic. For example, total silence for all games played in Florida and the occasional racial slur in Boston

What are they going to do with all these extra baseballs that usually end up in the stands?

Dan Szymborski

One reason I'm sad that credentials are limited this year.

Usually with the badge, you can just walk right in.

I could finish the season with 20-30 homers I bet!

You'd think if ESPN had justification to crank up bat contact noises as if they are some kind of bombing, its this season, but I guess not.

Dan Szymborski

7:42

Crank down A-Rod sounds

Dan Szymborski

The echo from (what i assume is) the studio on bat contact is irritating

I hope Arod buys the mets so we don't have to listen to him doing play by play anymore

Today's games are tough. I guess I'm a Nats well-wisher, in that I don't wish them any specific harm. Yankees and Dodgers are like rooting for your least favorite billionaires. I was forced to curse the Giants to a decade of futility after 2014.

Did Gerrit Cole thrown all fastballs up until the 0-2 pitch to Stevenson or can I not trust Statcast yet?

Wireless Joe Jackson

Surely the Cubs can have an unpaid intern deliver the balls in their personal vehicle.

Dodger Fan

That commercial didn't age well

Anything ARod says is progress over the even/odd leads claim

My dog barked at the tv when that other dog got a yankees shirt. We live just outside of Boston. He is a good boy.

When my sister was away and I was feeding her cats, I put one of her cats in a steelers shirt and took pictures of the cat to send her. She was so pissed!
