Mrbaseball,

Who would you say Madrigal most reminds you of as a hitter? I can't really think of a comparison.

I generally don't like small guys with no pop, especially from the right side, but I've really come around on him. Amazing contact ability.

Robert homer longest in Oakland in Statcast era!

I wasn't complaining about that part, that's obviously fine (as is pointing out that it was hit so hard that it might've actually cost them a run), but while the exit velo was special, people hit doubles all the time, so the result wasn't really. I'd prefer some silence there during the replay instead of having a voice in my ears all the time, especially since there's barely any dead air time as it is.

Maybe it's just my preference as as soccer watcher, but my main issue with announcers is not letting a game speak for itself... in North American sports it often seems like the crew hasn't noticed that they've moved on from radio to TV.

I'll quit bitching now

3 consecutive plays have been hit to him, lol. Including a hard peg to the plate.

Especially the national guys in the post-season seem to assume no viewer has watched baseball the last few months and feel compelled to introduce each player one by one. Just way over the top, especially since by now everyone can look stuff up on their phone if they're really interested.

yeah, that's what I mean - I assume Jessica is the woman on now - she's horrendous - can offer no insights on subtle points of the game because she never played.

Hand was incredibly unlucky. Thought he pitched really well, got a little bit squeezed and Gio and DJ hit some ridiculously tough pitches.

Bieber on the other hand had nothing and was awful.

After the Game 2 HR from Stanton the Indians seemed terrified of pitching to him instead of realizing to just not throw him ****ing fastballs.
