I remembered the one Bill quoted, and that was 2008. I didn't see one about that before then

Eric Thames seems like a fun guy. Good thing , since he's getting about an hour more airtime than planned.

The piped in ambient noise certainly helps, though it doesn't seem like they have someone at the controls to make it react to the action.

Then again, there hasn't been a lot of action, so hard to tell.

An old but uncharacteristically good article from Bleacher Report that is well worth the read about the travails of minor leaguers. One side effect is that I now really like Curtis Granderson, and also I want to organize a minor league baseball players union:

Altherr with a long homer off Lively, gets the silent from his teammates, does the Cam Perkins dab dance thingy

Hello. It's been awhile. I have lurked, but haven't logged in awhile. Hope anyone missing live baseball checks out the KBO games on ESPN. It's not MLB-caliber, but it's live baseball and it's a fun watch if you go in with no expectations, you'll see the good, the bad, and everything in between. Watching a game in-person is way more entertaining that viewing at home thousands of miles away, but it's still amazing to me that ESPN is actually showing the KBO.

Welcome back, jurassic5!

I immediately thought of you when this news broke. Wasn’t expecting to see you on ESPN!
