MLB has a good thing going with Ohtani. It’s the only reason I’m sitting here watching an Astros - Angels game right now.

Old man yelling at cloud, here. Putting a microphone on someone is fine. I hate, hate, hate when the media steps outside their role of reporting and becomes part of the game. Mic - OK, two way conversation during play, not.

Joey is the best.

Curious how old this old man yelling at the cloud is?
I am 35 and loved it. Been clamoring for this ever since they did it in the middle of Spring Training games.

I'm 65. I don't know if it's the age difference or just personal preference. I prefer the idea of game broadcasts being journalism as opposed to part of the entertainment.

I didn’t mind it. I remember the all star game a couple years ago they mic’d up one of the outfielders. But I’m still surprised they did it with a first baseman who’s preparing for a possible line drive at him while trying to hold a conversation.

My thoughts are….MLB isn’t dominating ratings. Joey Votto is atrocious at 1B….BUT Joey Votto is unpredictable and interesting as a human and with words….to me it almost helps him focus even more to not suck at 1B.
Cone and Perez are both tough listens….I’ll listen to quirky Joey

I can't wait to attend Votto's induction ceremony. His speech will be epic.

Baseball bro fight at Mets / Nats game. MLB players are bigger posers than soccer players faking injuries. Watching the obligatory rush from the bullpens to “defend our guy” which always ends up with a bunch of screaming, pushing and shoving. They need a little hockey mentality in there.

No one faked an injury….he got hit in the head with a 95 mph baseball, they may have faked toughness but unlike soccer, the ball actually drilled him in the head, one day after Alonso got smashed in the side if his head.

I didn’t mean the injury was faked. It’s all the false bravado when “benches clear” I’m referring to. “Benches clear” in baseball is usually a huge eye roll.
Yes, the HBP was rough, no doubt

I’ve always loved Jose Iglesias (knowing he’s not an all-star player)
I never knew this. Very cool and touching.

Kiki Hernandez mic’d up was great also. This isn’t going away.
