I've had the game on for 5 outs and I"m not sure Jason has talked about the game for more than 30 seconds.  I get it it's the dog days of September but FFS.

Andrew Vaughn looks like he’s ready to watch an episode of Murder She Wrote, have a glass of Ensure, and hit the hay. Kid looks 90 years old. 

Nice interview.  Seems like a nice level headed kid.

Living through two world wars will really give a guy perspective. 

Yolmer is just a smart baseball player.

Yup. One of the many things he needs to learn as a broadcaster. He gets waaaay too caught up on what the fans are doing, wearing,  bringing, etc.

Excuses excuses

Nova has settled down into a nice rhythm.

I can't wait till this new can't have relievers only face one guy anymore gets implemented. Ricky's micromanaging is too much. 

Fry has become a disappointment from his promising 2018.

Ricky is on the bench in this game.

I refuse to believe that Ryan McBroom is a real person.

I can't remember, but catcher's interference counts towards a hitter's OBP right? Or no?

I thought it was an automatic base hit, but apparently not.

It’s an error on the catcher, but I believe it’s not an at bat.

But it doesn't count as a PA for the hitter. I'm trying to see where the line is on that.

Yeah, I edited to finish my thought. Weird situation.

But the batter gets a hit when the ball hits a runner in fair territory right?

Yes, it’s a very strange rule. The one thing I never knew until recently is that a runner isn’t automatically out when a batted ball hits him. If the ball had the opportunity to pass an infielder first (like if the infielders were playing in), then the runner is not out.
