I'm getting a smidge of that also but it's minimal

Katie Nolan adds nothing to the broadcast. The sound level for the crowd is too high and the one for the announcers is too low (not that they are saying anything important).

Hmmm. For me the radio is about 4 pitches AHEAD.

[Frayed Knot]

The other thing that happens is that if I switch back to regular TV during a commercial I then have to re-set APPLE when I switch back to it. I don't have that problem with say MLB.TV or with other streaming services.

That was a lovely play by Lindor.

[Frayed Knot]

And now Canha with the 7-3 put out.

[Edgy MD]

I like how fate futzing up his defense seemingly makes Scherzer more determined to keep his defense from having to work.

Just tuned in - I have Apple TV for Ted Lasso - in time for the Lindor play. Then the next play, and discovered Cahna at third!! Had to go back and read the thread from the start to catch up.

Cliff Floyd: "They were a lot of things I wanted to do during my career, but I was like, 'Hey, I'll holla at y'all later'."

I may add that Floyd quote to my LinkedIn profile.

[Edgy MD]

Cliff played with Fernando, Sr. for the Expos when Junior was just three years old.

[TransMonk]

The announcers are doing a wonderful job of promoting the Phils as a good team as long as you disregard half of the season.

Good time for the Mets to strike here.

[Edgy MD]

Seems like the Mets aren't even hitting it to the outfield that much.

[TransMonk]

Oh Cliff - claiming he can kiss babies because COVID is gone.

[Edgy MD]

Naquin first-pitch swinging after Canha's walk = not bright.



AppleTV+ announcer calling him McNeil = not brighter.

[kcmets]

Things moving along kinda quick, score some runs!!



The video is kinda crisper, sometimes looks almost 3-D. Weird.



If I hadda watch this bunch every night, I might consider drinking some anti-freeze.

[Edgy MD]

Its been a fat strike zone this evening.

[Edgy MD]

Gosuke Katoh pinch-hit for mid-game for Syracuse.

[Frayed Knot]

OK, we've got [CROSSOUT]6[/CROSSOUT] 5 outs to their 3.

Let's do something with that edge.

[Gwreck]

Would think about a Taijuan Walker pinch runner here for Nido.

[Frayed Knot]

What's up with that, Tomas?

[Edgy MD]

I realize they probably feel the personnel shortage to be too acute, but mentally, I was pinch-running Bassitt for Nido.



Not sure any pitcher would've done much better than Tomás in that situation, though.

Looking forward to deploying Vogelbach at DH against Dominguez, as Marte leads off with a dubble.

Howie comparing crowd reaction to Diaz Ks to those for Gooden & deGrom.



He's not wrong.

[Edgy MD]

Vogle coming up?
