so tonight's contribution about broadcast timing. For the 1st time in a long time I'm listening to the game on the WTKA OTA broadcast. I have gameday open, and gameday is just about 7 second *ahead* of the OTA radio at the end of the last inning, but almost 17 ahead behind on the 1st pitch of the next inning, but again by the end of the inning the difference was back down to ~8sec - which implies that they are overextended the inning break on the radio by 10sec.

our defense is so bloody bad. Keith and Tork ( pop ups ) are just bad.

Disastrous defense.

Jack got his body back.

"keep an eye on your children' punishment.

dangit!

Ugh

Yes, I kind of wonder how much Allen’s early foul trouble led into the early lead that was ultimately erased at one point.

Sonny Gray is so afraid of Zach McKinstry. He pitched him like he was Ted Williams or something. Nothing even close to the strike zone. They used to do this stuff to Brandon Inge too.

Now it’s five strikeouts in a row. Is there any indication that the body snatchers have got a hold of him? Is there a weird button in the back of his neck or something?

Wasn't sure where to put this, interesting

I’m fine with the K

So Jack has struck out four guys in a row. I was hoping that he would hit Story in the back like Framber did, but I’m not allowed to have what I want this world.

I feel very bad for her husband and kids.

So, Jack just struck out the side in the first inning on 11 pitches…

Send Peaches down from the booth.

So if he bombs another start….what do we do?

I haven’t said anything yet about this train wreck, but I remember pounding the table for this guy when Fatricia was hired instead. Clearly Fatricia was the wrong guy and his hire was disastrous. And clearly Vrabel is a very good coach. But this guy… this is not my kind of guy.

I don't see why they wouldn't!

Andy Dufresne-Boyd Redding dichotomy.

true. Do you suppose player agent/lawyers take 30% of the net for the representation in a successful suspension reduction?

This is true, but I think whether as a matter of justice, the hammer finally lands on some of these guys is a separate issue to whether it continues, increases or decreases its importance as a political liability for Trump and/or his political enablers. From that perspective I'm not even in the loop. We were just hosting a friend with conservative siblings and she was telling us that even now, her brother, to whom she will not talk about politics, quite literally doesn't understand what she doesn't like about Trump. I mean, even if you support him, how can you not even understand the sources of other people's doubts/opposition to him? That seems inconceivable to me, but I met her brother years ago, he's just an ordinary Indiana guy. So at this point I try to remind myself not to bother weighing what I think MAGA may do against my own sensibilities.

It means whatever you meant it to mean.
