Bring one for the rest of us.

Ok, one glass for me, one glass for the rest of you.  Thank you for thinking of me.

He's a large lizard that wanders tropical and subtropical regions.  It should be easier to understand why he's not a natural for the radio booth.

Also a newspaper in Concord, N.H., and numerous other cities. Waiting until the game story is written would also make for boring radio.

That probably doesn't help Monitor's performance in the radio booth.

Has anyone come up with a way to not have to see the zone box ?  and maybe have a option -individually  ,   And i cant find any stats for A.A.A. On amount of challenges ? - any reversals ?  gotta be honest  in all the saints games i watch , i never even notice it, , which i wish i could say SAME  for some Majors umpires,   with all the technology in todays game it would be nice to have the option of seeing the Box  IDK ?

This would make for a good topic discussion question. You should post it in the forum

My solution was to just watch on the radio.  No box at all.

That was kind of the joke (obviously not obvious enough) … back in the day when Brian did the game thread intros, I did the editing, added the lineups and weather … a few times I would forget about dome stadiums and one time I think I made a comment about a possible rainout … oops, lol

Each Canadian run is only worth 0.75 US runs.

That's got to mess with stat totals.  Do they have a stat conversion factor?

That would be the place for it. I haven’t followed it at all, either, so maybe someone has and can fill us in

[SwainZag]

Would be nice to run Gausman this inning

On offense.

When figuring ERA, each run allowed equals 1.25 US runs. Provided they're earned of course.

1/0.75 = 1.33?

[wsnydes]

Congratulations to Andrew McCutcheon on his 2000th hit!

[Squirrel]

Wow! Poor Varsho … lol

[PDX Twin]

Varsho needs a bigger glove!

[USAFChief]

Hit it to Varsho!!

[Blyleven2011]

Yes we need to score more runs

I'm liking Plouffee more with each broadcast.

They aren't making me want MLB's product, which is buried underneath two items I need to click on.
