I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.
Royals have forsaken the bunt for the bloop it seems.

I think I read a review of that. Thought it was one of those baseball stories like "Pride of the Yankees", you know? But it's just about some crabby old sailors, stuck in this little town.

The one thing I will grant this TBS broadcast is that they provide Spanish audio without having to subscribe to an entirely different channel unlike FOX

Dad jokes are an important part of baseball broadcasts.

I'm okay with it, the players seem to dig it. It's overdone, sure, but I bet it sounds good as hell on the field. I have a feeling it'll be here to stay, so everybody complaining about it better :getin:

So I'm guessing he's just going to be a long reliever if the starter can't make it through like the 3rd inning?

Inning after your team scores, I think.

I never heard what they're actually planning, using him if they need him in the first few games or using him as the fourth starter was the idea I liked the best.

Which probably means it's out of the question.

Wikipedia posted:

In baseball or kickball, a shutdown inning occurs when a team follows a half-inning in which they scored at least one run with a half-inning in which they allowed no runs. A shutdown inning is a statistic recorded for pitchers. Pitchers want to throw as many shutdown innings as possible, while opposing teams attempt to minimize allowing shutdown innings themselves; this is true because pitchers never want to give up runs, and opposing teams always want to score runs, regardless of what happened the previous half inning.

I'm also confused because it would seem like if they gave up a run it wouldn't be "shutdown," unless TBS means in "shutdown inning possibilities"
