Not-So-Obnoxious Baseball Thread

I remember before the 7-10 second delay was instituted on TV (so we wouldn't be freaked about Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction) it was nice to turn down the sound on national broadcast games and listen to the local radio channel while watching.

That tactic is used by almost every Yankees fan when we are forced to watch a Joe Buck commentated game!

Yeah I did a "print screen" in case this was going to be a "Dewey defeats Truman" moment. I think what happened though is TBS put's in more commercials between innings and pitching changes, and gradually the game is more delayed. This was the first time it was so obvious. I remember before the 7-10 second delay was instituted on TV (so we wouldn't be freaked about Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction) it was nice to turn down the sound on national broadcast games and listen to the local radio channel while watching. But 10 minutes? I see some fan posts that say it might have been 20 minutes.

Were you watching on a DVR? Sometimes I'll pause a game for a few, forget, and later realize I'm 15 minutes behind (i.e., if I turn on another TV with the same game).

No, I was up to date. I checked. I watch a lot of TV 15 minutes behind and zip through commercials. If I catch up to real time I walk away and get behind again. But I was watching with my wife and son and we watched in real time the whole game.

6 outs to go. K-Rod makes me nervous.........

 

[user 574]

3 outs to go. Earn your $ John! I got an old brewers hat from the 80's on for you.

 

[passedpawn]

Dbacks pitchers looks like the big unit.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Ugh. I can't take this sh!t.

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Would have loved to have heard Uecker on the radio...

Would have loved to have heard Uecker on the radio...

Me too. Problem is, the radio and TV feeds are never in sync, so i just left the tv guys do their thing.

 

[TrainSafe]

This could be Uecker's last post season in broadcasting. It is certainly worth cherishing.

 

[iaefebs]

wow...Halladay got out of that mess.

 

[user 574]

Play on 1st too close to call.

Anyway I guess from a brew crew fan I don't give a sh!t who wins. gotta play who's in front of you (but I still hold a cardinals grudge)

 

[iaefebs]

That was a good 8th... great defense by the Cards even though it took 4 outs.

 

[user 574]

Ok, Brewers home field advantage but they know each other well. Play ball.

 

[iaefebs]

WOW.. what a game. I'm stunned. Carpenter....great job. Defense great game. Cards fans... congratulations... Cards haters... hard to not appreciate that performance.

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Wow. 2 great games tonite. Congrats to the Cards. Now, lets go Rangers!!!
