If there's anything to your theory about the difficulty engineers have matching audio overlay to MLB video, it would be that before I got MLB.tv with my Extra Innings package, and I would try to do what you describe here—match MLB At-Bat radio to DirecTV video—frequently when it came out of breaks, At-Bat would be mismatched to the video by a few seconds one way or the other. I assumed it was because sometimes play would start up again sooner than expected, so the radio folks would hold up the feed this inning to allow the commercials to play all the way through, then eventually they would match it up in a later inning. Is that what's happening here? Given how MLB has the break timed to end earlier than before, but the commercials still have to run, and Dan usually doesn't even come back on after the break until after at least one pitch has already been thrown, I kind of doubt it. But, I don't know, maybe ...

I used to listen to Dan on Gameday when I watched on DirectTV because because I really didn't like Shep - and I could adjust gameday until it matched. But I had to stop doing that and now I don't remember if it was because gameday started being *behind* the video, which there was no adjustment for, or if it was just because they dropped the adjustment tab from the interface - I'd have to try setting up again during a game to check which it was. In any case my direct TV is always way behind, usually 2 pitches behind the gameday cartoon, which itself is usually behind OTA radio, which traditionally had at least a couple of seconds of delay for bleeping things they wanted to bleep.

This seems like an early attempt to sanewash Trump and the Republicans ahead of the election.

I would rather see a team there than in the cluster blank of Salt Lake City - not that I have anything against the city or it’s inhabitants in general - but the altitude and everything will make it another weird version of Denver and Coors Field and the very idea of that just annoys me. Indianapolis would not be straying too far away from baseball as I generally know it.

That seems like a healthy mindset.

But not disgusting to win that sucker down 7-9

Seems like it was only about 6 months ago that stuff like this would have resulted in my immediate, violent death. Nowadays she's still fairly particular about belly attention, but she asks for it most days and can get pretty insistent. Being able to give belly rubs is pretty much the best thing about having a cat as far as I'm concerned.

They were drunk. 😘

After the way she harassed and mocked him.

There was only one commercial running on MLTV here for the Tigers game. I old guy who sounded like Larry of Larry, Darrell and Darrell from the Newhart show telling us to vote no on the state redistricting thing. Quite annoying (I'm not even sure the deawl was real). Annoying enough that I'm not changing my vote

We walked away from the game when the delay started, came back and my wife turned the game on. I scrolled ahead to the bottom of the ninth, to get the final score and see how bad the damage was. That was when I got a text from my son "Just need "Glayber and McGonigle to get on and a Kerry Bonds return". Followed by Greene!!! What a game. I messaged him we were playing catch up. Followed by WOW!!. My notifications let me in on what was happening. I kept quiet to allow allow the spouse to enjoy the ending. It was fun

Hopefully many more in the future.

Well, the plane trip to Boston is going to be vastly more pleasant after this win.

Yes!

I am completely floored. I thought the guys were dead ducks. I sure am glad they’re better than me.

I know I am late with this, but I was in transit from work to home when this happened. If you give me a hard time about it, I will look for you, I WILL find you, and I will stare at you disapprovingly. THE BUS WAS LATE, BUT THE BUS IS HERE

When I saw this after being on customer service for MLB for 30 minutes, I thought perhaps you were being ironic. I thought it was impossible that we had won and you’re awesome.

That turned into a fun game to watch. Very happy to see Riley come through and then do a good job on the bases.

You’re going to get plastered when you find out how many on the left support this Republican Nazi. Off the top of my head, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Chris Murphy, Martin Heinrich, and Reuben Gallego.

Runners on first and second… Carp Ks. Dingler up… lines out and all hope is lost… strike out king Riley up… Riley, thinking he’s on the golf course… all is lost all is lost… life sucks… double down the line oh my goodness we’re tied… Colt up… 10-9 god it was worth the wait. Fun that’s what happens.

Back when we played the Dodgers at home and had that big comeback with Keith’s HR and then Urshelas game winner, I was at that game and not only did I turn my hat into a rally cap, but I took the free Detroit Stars hat that was the giveaway for the game and turned that into a rally cap as well. I wore double rally caps and we came back from being down 5 in the ninth to win. I got so many high fives and so much credit from other fans walking out of Comerica that day.

A total moment of panic when the right fielder got that ball....he's gonna throw Riley out, isn't he? That guy has a cannon for an arm.

Since calling up Perez, the Tigers are 6-0. Yeah, a coincidence. He only has one hit in all of his games but maybe he's our good luck charm? If you believe in that sort of thing.

That sounds like what usually happens to me.

I’m watching the bottom of the ninth right now
