These YouTube broadcasts are brutal. I don’t need an interview with Steven Vogt about what his favorite flavor of gum is, focus on the games please and also please get off my lawn

Why did they get rid of This Week in Baseball? I didnt even realize it's been 10 years already since it ended! Random content like a players fave gum flavour would fit right in on that show.

A show like that would be good to have today. You could just air it on MLB Network and then each segment could be uploaded to MLB.com and/or YouTube as well.

I remember one game I went to when I was younger, they just aired a full episode of TWIB before the game. That would be nice to have again too, especially over the 30 minutes of ads they seem to air before a game, with the same ones repeating over and over and over again.

I hate this Braves team; can't remember a team I've disliked this much in 30+ years of watching them. I haven't watched them that much, but when I do it is just one underperforming cluster and no one even seems to care.

Gutsy save by Chapman. Didn't have his best stuff. Walked a few and then just locked in and shut the Rays down.

Jays down 5-3 to Marlins entering the 9th.

It's raining heavy, game could be called at any second.

Jays manage to tie up the game on a Bo triple!

Marlins decide to walk Vlad and Hernandez in order to have a scenario with an out at any base and 0 outs.

Except now they're facing Grichuk who has 2 HR in this game already.

Grichuk hits into a fielders choice.

So the unlikely hero...Joe Panik who scores the game winner.

Crowds do change a game. Now their next series, against the Astros. We know the NY crowd went off on the Astros, will the Buffalo crowd do the same? And would it be awkward for the Jays who have the Astros hitting coach and Springer (who isn't back yet)?

Cubs are on absolute fire with some real no-name guys playing frequently.

The pitching staff has completely turned it around the last 3 weeks or so.

This is a crazy tough month for them, but it's off to a good start.

Just out of curiosity, what's your take on questions like "you just won the game with a walk off, how do you feel?" or "talk me through this play."

I'd rather hear about their favorite foods and such than the fact that they're happy to have won the game or how they "just go out there and execute" and "take it one game at a time". There are way too many questions where you already know the answer.

Re: 6/1- 6/13 Game Discussion Thread

Fun fact from last night.

Bo Bichette now has a 5.6WAR.

Among other players, he's now tied with Dante Bichette, who had a 5.6WAR in 14 total seasons.

Bos played around 1500 career games fewer than his dad.

Pirates might stink, but glad to see Hayes back. Nice triple.

I don’t care for those questions either, but I’m not forced to listen to them during the game. I’d prefer to just hear play by play and no gimmicky interviews mid game. With that being said, the broadcast grew on me as the game went on. They didn’t really do any commercials I could remember, in between innings they were airing historical stuff on the two teams playing

Re: 6/1- 6/13 Game Discussion Thread

Last night wasn’t the Mets’ night. Tatis’ HR was almost robbed but bounced out of Mason Williams glove, their third run was set up by a Yu Darvish double. Darvish is batting .455 vs the Mets and .071 vs everyone else and then their 4th run scored on a wild pitch. With deGrom and Strowman pitching the last two games hopefully a split is still possible

Re: 6/1- 6/13 Game Discussion Thread

1st inning of Jays vs Astros is Manfreds dream inning.

Maybe 15 TOTAL pitches between both starters, the entire 1st took several minutes including the commercial break!
