MLB 2021 season: Corn-Driven Humidity

Status
Not open for further replies.
As much as I'd like to see Bauer's ass thrown out on the street, MLB is following the terms of the domestic violence policy that was agreed to by the Players Association through collective bargaining.

The Players Association looks really bad as well. If that is all they are willing to go for something like domestic violence or sexual assault. Likely this needs to be revised in the upcoming contract talks.
 
Cubs said no-no to the Dodgers, then went into hibernation, going 0-7 since.

Even a 7 run first inning vs the Brewhahas didn't amount to anything.

The "June Swoon" is back.
 
A's have the bases loaded, no outs in the bottom of the 10th. Batter tries to surprise bunt and bunts it up in the air on the first pitch, out one. Next batter drills a shallow pop up to the outfield for out two, A's send the runner home, tagged out at the plate for out three.
 
Any idea when MLB will start letting TV & radio broadcast crews go on road games?

Reporters can already do it, so I'd think broadcasters wouldn't be far behind...

A's did pull it out bottom 12th. At least you have a team that can do that much.

Those decisions are made on a team-by-team (or media company) basis. The Chicago White Sox radio crew, for example, has been on the road for about a month, while NBC Sports Chicago still has the Sox TV crew calling road games remotely.

I hope it's soon for Marquee. I miss Taylor McGregor.

While Ronald Reagan was known more for his time playing football, he had a lengthy history with the game of baseball as well. Reagan's father, John, had played on a team in Bennet, Iowa in 1898. Ronald Reagan himself worked as a sports announcer for WHO Radio in Des Moines, Iowa during the 1930s. He would call Chicago Cubs games, but rather than being at the game, he would recreate the action from nothing but a slip of paper typed by a telegraph operator who was transcribing plays sent by Morse code. On June 7, 1934, with the Cubs and the Cardinals tied 0-0 in the ninth inning, with Billy Jurges at-bat and Dizzy Dean out on the mound, the line went dead. Rather than lose his audience, Reagan improvised a streak of foul balls that lasted nearly twelve minutes until the wire came back. He would share this humorous anecdote with audiences for decades to come.

Bet you is cryin' in your beer now.

SHA-weep!!

btw, I have been a Bleacher Bum in both right and left field and have the beer stained t-shirt to prove it.

Is Harry Carey's restaurant still running?

I think there are multiple Harry Caray taverns and steakhouses. Not sure about the original one.

And I actually did have beer (lager) last night, but I'm long past crying over this team.

I went to the original one.

Once I saw Harry coming out after the game and "sliding" into his limo.

We parked in an over priced neighborhood yard twice--worth every penny :luvlove:--the other visits were bus trips.

As I recall, Harry Caray's has eight steakhouse locations. The original one, located in River North, still operates.

Cool. What on Earth does this have to do with the original question of when broadcast teams will be back on the road?

You appear to be dense. It refers to radio/tv guys doing their broadcasts remotely. It can still be done today w/o the costs of plane/hotel/meal costs.

Take a Chill-Pill.

Cool. It still has absolutely nothing to do with the question of when teams and media outlets will begin sending their teams back on the road. Do you post just to read your own posts and bask in them?
