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

Thank you. I wasn't expecting myself to be on there ever in my life (along w/ interview requests etc). It's surreal and honestly, I don't deserve the attention. I'm simply a fan of the KBO, who is always trying to learn more about it and help others learn more about Korean baseball as well. This week will be one that I'll never forget, but in all honesty, it's been extremely draining.

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.

It’s fun to watch, being a night owl most of the time due to work I have been able to watch a decent amount, also watching some of the non ESPN games on twitter, clearly no English feeds but still fun to watch

Yeah, I was watching live when they did your interview, and I wondered if it was you when you said you grew up in eastern PA as a Phillies fan.

Great to see you jurassic! I'm sure it's my tweet that brought you back :wink:

. Really enjoyed catching up on the KBO action when I can, even if it has messed up my sleep schedules. Loved listening to you the other night. It's got to be a little difficult being brought in to explain "this is the KBO" when the KBO this year is unlike anything it's ever been (as is everything else).

Tough night? afternoon? for Casey Kelly. Apparently quarantine is not the best spring training. 6-0 in first, and it would be worse if Altherr hadn't taken a called third strike. Only one who hasn't reached base.

Actually, if that was the tweet that mentioned BSG, it was.

Obviously when I was 20 years old and made a message board about the KBO, I didn't ever expect it 1) to be on ESPN 2) they'd invite me on. The last week has been a whirlwind for me. I'm simply a fan and people want to talk to me for some reason. All I am and have been trying to do is try and help others learn more about the KBO.

That was me! It's great stuff, and your alerting us to the KBO all those years ago helped remit this winter to check on American players that might be active as it looked like they might have a season.

Fun game tonight, but I've lasted as long as I can. Wish the announcers would interrupt interviews when there are game developments, but I'm not going to complain (much). Great to have baseball.

Jurassic - good to have you back and continued success to you.

Would be interested in your view on the following as a new KBO observer (and fledgling investor):

-Anecdotally it seems like there are fewer LHP (especially starters) and more LHB in KBO than we’d see in MLB - is this consistent with your view or am I just making up a trend that isn’t there?

-It seems like the Heroes and Dinos mash and the Bears (thought I know they lost Lindblom) and Wyverns have some of the better pitching staffs just going off 2019 stats. What clubs have the best/worst bullpens in your view?

-Other than Flexen from Doosan, our old friend Altherr on NC and Ramos from LG, any newcomers to watch in the league this year? Any other key departures other than Lindblom?

Ramos looks like he’s going to have a huge year
