I kind of wish they rotated a different throwback each Sunday. They have enough different ones that they could do it.

Maybe it's like the original Civilization games, where Gandhi is so passive off the bat that if he becomes more passive, it broke the game and he became a power hungry warlord. Luis Robert is so weak that he can hit BOMBS off the top off scoreboards, because it just skips the field of the play.

The only way to cool off Yolbert.

To be fair, that's probably how we signed him, like Robert. If he turns out to be a productive major leaguer, it's a win.

God, in a normal job this would be where you tell Ricky that coupled with his performance, he will not be returning at the end of the year.

"Analytics would say to bat Tim Anderson higher up in the order in Yonder Alonso lower, but fat guys DH and DHs are #4 hitters. My gut says so."

Go-Gurt.

I mean, I get it. But on the flip side, Gmail wasn't around in WSI's heydey so this argument holds less water.

Well, that's one strategy

I hope they weren't stealing bandwidth.

Her overall point is right - there are a lot of quality female broadcasters that get boxed out. They don't get boxed out by Walton. They get blocked by morons like Rex Hudler or downers like John Smoltz who bring nothing to the broadcast. One of my old classmates is one of two female broadcasters in minor league baseball and I wonder if she'll ever get to do an MLB game. She's good at her job, even with no color commentator, but people like Farmer stay in the booth for eons, long past the expiration date. But yeah, DiCaro's tweet is off-base. Complain about the shitty broadcasting regular, not a guest broadcaster for a night.

Greg is more hyperbolous than Bill Walton and I love it.

NBC Sports playing the sign off music mid-Walton monologue with while McCann nervously laughs, answers a question, and Walton swings a bat is comedy gold.

James McCann is overjoyed and terrified.

Dude had to deal with a lot tonight. I'll give him a pass.

PRINT THE BANNER.

He would rapidly endear himself to Sox fans.

"Bummer? He's not a bummer. He's a meteor. An asteroid." Asteroid Aaron.

I somehow missed this, but have MLB TV. When was this?

Bless this moment.

Bill Walton is the #1 trending topic in America. @Tony is right. Someone needs a raise.
