Scoring runs in the bottom of the First would be really nice this time. The habit of waiting until the fifth or sixth for relief pitchers to come in before being able to score runs is getting old.
I guess we’re back to having commercials on the broadcast. I was rooting for the hope that FanDuel or MLB hadn’t paid a bill and they were going out of business. But no go.
They are talking about the cy young on the broadcast. I guess Clase isn’t a part of the discussion this time. All sorts of noise was made last time about Clase being statistically a more important pitcher, somehow. But Skubal was the unanimous choice by voters anyway.
Late in the season, we seem to be facing pitchers who have hit their stride and become “unhittable.“ Our pitchers, on the other hand, have become more hittable. I don’t know if this is really the case but it seems like it.
Just for the fun of it, I checked another fan duel broadcast, which was the Cardinals and went back a couple innings and all they had was one of those in-house MLB TV ads and it played during the entire break in the inning. They didn’t have any real ads. I think this is a FanDuel issue but I have to admit I didn’t care badly enough to watch a non-fan dual broadcast so I don’t really know.
I wasn’t able to follow this game after a while and I’m curious if there were ever any ads on the MLB TV feed.
I’m presuming that on FanDuel Detroit there was I’m just wondering if there’s some kind of legal or technical snafu going on with NLB.tv.
I remember in the beginning of mlb.tv they would just run the same two cringe erectile dysfunction ads over and over again and that’s all they had.
