I just switched on the A’s, the crowd noise...is pigs squeezing at the end of a very long tunnel?
Topper Bottoms
12:38
I think those horn sounding things are usually present? Not sure about the weird siren-sounding thingy
Ben Clemens
12:38
Trout still looks very fast in the outfield, even as he slows down overall
12:39
It's also really nice to be watching Trout again, seriously.
Meg Rowley
12:39
it sure is
12:40
why are there so many kids in the Roman bat flipping ad?
Ben Clemens
12:40
I think all the companies just agreed to not even try in their commercials this year
12:41
Clayton Kershaw catching his own home runs? Idina Menzel, just being there?
Meg Rowley
12:41
"These kids? Well if you fix your little issue, you could have some of those."
Ben Clemens
12:42
Haha Meg I did not take it that way but now I will
Matt
12:42
I don't know about you, but I only buy my sex pills from Frank Thomas
Aaron’s Aron
12:43
Meg is from Seattle right? How does she feel about the Kraken? :]
Meg Rowley
12:43
I like it. I think the logo and the sweaters are very sharp.
Joe
12:44
Is the Kershaw commercial supposed to be an homage to the Griffey one?
Ben Clemens
12:44
Oh I don't know the Griffey one. If it's riffing on an old commercial that makes it slightly less weird, I guess.
Although, was the old commercial for tires? It had all those cars? That seems weird
Joe
12:45
Ben Clemens
12:46
I can't decide if I think this is good or not
Meg Rowley
12:47
Ben, this is great.
Ben Clemens
12:47
The best part of it is the implication he's throwing it back in.
Dodger Fan
12:47
That was a defensive disaster by the Giants
Ben Clemens
12:48
Also an offensive disaster
I can't decide if they're terrible or if the Dodgers are great or both
Joe
12:49
no Implication, he literally does throw the ball across the US at the end
Meg Rowley
12:49
think yes to both
Billy Beane
12:49
The A's stadium noise is actually pretty close to what happens at a regular game
Horns, etc are.commonplace
Ben Clemens
12:49
Wait, that's crazy
I don't remember this from before
I guess I was often blacked out of A's games last year
Meg Rowley
12:50
Oh yeah, this is pretty normal
Jimmy_Changa
12:51
Are there more mustaches than usual?
Meg Rowley
12:51
I think so, yes.
Also Ben
12:51
Is this crowd noise still from The Show though?
Ben Clemens
12:51
I'm not sure actually. That could be specifically for ESPN broadcasts, unless I misunderstood.
Dodger Fan
12:52
I think it was Ben who wrote an article on Stripling's fastball/curve combo over the offseason?  He used it brilliantly tonight (along with a newly-developed changeup).
Ben Clemens
12:52
Wow it actually was me, and I have no memory of writing this
Joe
12:52
A cleaaaaan hit and run
Jon E
12:53
Ramon for MVP!
