How to expand baseball's popularity on a primetime, Sunday night broadcast on ABC: A) Talk about a World Series contender that has exciting young players or B) Talk to Al Michaels for several innings about his broadcasting career and talk about Wrigley Fields' lights, because Al Michaels was around when the Northside discovered the fucking lightbulb. Also, of all the choices they mic'd up on the Sox, they chose Joe McEwing???

Were you all aware that La Russa and Michaels are both old?

ELOY DEMANDS WE TALK ABOUT BASEBALL

If they honest to god wanted to talk about the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit trade, at least that would be interesting. But holy shit, why broadcast these games just to discuss ... Al Micahels? Live from his fucking couch?

They let LeBron get away with violating Covid protocol. The Lakers should basically be demoted to the G-League for Lebron's violations.

I'd the league genuinely cared about tampering, they'd nuke the Clippers and Nets into oblivion.

The Sox debuted theirs in 2018, long before the Padres.

Liam gets the infinity gauntlet because he did the job himself. So Tony should give everyone some legos.

I love this team.

Amazing.

Kimbrel is a double agent.

I like that this post was made right as Andrew Vaughn made a good diving catch.

The way this season has gone I was real scared for a second.

I'm sorry, are you not familiar with the integrity of the game??? The excitement that comes from watching a man have no chance at the plate versus a slugger?

Gotta love this NL style baseball! So much strategy!

For what it's worth, I'm talking purely in a vacuum. Going forward I'm with you.

I think we'd all rather he play at DH/1B, but him suddenly turning himself into a league average LF (per advanced metrics that I can find / understand) was a necessary evil that saved the season.

Andrew Vaughn is pretty good at baseball.

Lance with the butt assist.

This made me look up how Ed Howard is doing. Looks like he's also been hit hard by having to jump straight to A ball, slashing .200/.253/.528. Looking back, if we had taken him over Crochet/Detmers and he was putting those numbers up, we'd be in extreme panic mode.

Those Wrigleyville jerseys are so bad.

Somewhere, Nick Madrigal is telling himself that about his home runs.

Fanbases are meaningless when it comes to actual deals, but OKC fans seem to be cool with offering Bazley in a S&T for Lauri. Not real good, but he's young and has a good defensive rebounding percentage. Donovan would be familiar with him.

He in the season opener against Charlotte two years ago. He was aggressive as hell. I mean, look at these dunks! Then Jimbo parked him on the 3 point line and Lauri just died mentally. This Lauri would turn the bench into a Bizarro Bench Mob, focused on offense rather than defense. At this point, dude might need to take the QO, get to the playoffs, then jet.

Lauri really misplayed his hand every step of the way. It sucks that he took such a massive step back under Jimbo, but he was also offered an extension last year and according to K.C. they were only $4M apart so Lauri messed up big time.
