Trusting in Mcgodigle is not living on the edge.

But can he play CF?

[Shinzaki]

Can Gleyber play SS with Jung handling 2nd?

[monkeytargets39]

I feel like in an emergency it’d be Lee at SS for the next couple games

Interesting,

Quote

A person familiar with the relationship between MLB Local Media and the Guardians tells Awful Announcing that the league is “encouraging the Cleveland announcer team to take more time off throughout the season to stay fresh over the course of the 162-game season,” and that the league and team “are aligned with this approach.”

Just wondering if Bobby Scales moving to the TV broadcasts this week may be somewhat related...

Riley, Tork, Torres already playing every day. So is Kevin, he was splitting SS with Javy when he was available. Kevin at third with Javy at SS and Wenceel in center with Javy SS. I don't think you and A.J. are that far off.

with the roster reduced, everything  converges

Scales is a little better on TV than radio.

yes - in fact Hinch even made the comment in a recent presser that Lee 'has played there'. I wonder if Hinch had checked how long ago it had been.

Why would Hinch check how long ago it’s been?

McStinky supposed to start his rehab assignment tonight.  So we will probably have him back by the end of the weekend

I owned pretty much that exact computer, keyboard, monitor and printer but not the pack of Salems.

That dude is a billionaire.

I was in TN last week and tried to watch the tigers on my phone. Middle TN is apparently Reds territory. It’s a 4 hour drive past Cincy. It’s also Braves territory. 
 

 

[chasfh]

Not surprising since before the Braves, the Reds and Cardinals had basically the whole south carved up between them.

[oblong]

My cousins, to the extent they are baseball fans, are Braves fans.  I just didn't know a location could get dinged for two teams.

Does every bit of space have to get assigned to someone?  Should just simply be a radius around whatever stadium the team plays in.  
It wasn't a big deal but I just happened to have found myself with a few minutes of downtime and thought "Let me put that on and rest"

Washington and Baltimore share a large portion of Virginia and I think parts of North Carolina as their "Broadcast Market". I can't find a good map to show the territory, but Mama Googles says the teams share DC, Maryland,Virginia, Delaware, Central and Eastern North Carolina, South Central Pennsylvania (surprising because you'd think there would be a dividing line between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia) and West Virginia.  

The Nationals joined the MLB.com group this year so I'm not sure this still holds. They and Baltimore shared MSN as provider for their games

He can do anything.
