MLB 2022: The Long and Winding Thread

Arizona has nothing through seven off Sean Manaea. D-backs look like a good high school pitcher could stymie them right now.

 

Watching the Angels-Astros in Apple+ and the broadcast is awful. The crew of Steven Nelson, Hunter Pence and Katie Nolan never shut up, and little of what they say has anything to do with calling the game. Katie is playing the ditz, at least I hope she’s playing.

They just brought up Manea’s no hitter but wouldn’t use the words. Its not even their game.

 

The Nationals-Mets team on Apple+ was every bit as irritating, I'd wager. But at least that one had a bench-clearer.

 

Bob Melvin pulled Manaea for Tim Hill entering the 8th ... and Hill held onto that no-hitter for four pitches.

That shit never used to happen.

 

lol I'd love to listen to her talk baseball.

 

Just watched for 5 minutes and didn't hear her once.

And the Angels are a boring team.

 

They had a cool moment with Heidi Watney interviewing Jeremy Peña’s parents when he hit his first home run. Got a great reaction.

His dad is former MLBer Geronimo Peña.

 

Watney is pretty good. She needs a wider audience on a larger platform like ESPN.

 

Did they say "Nothing happening in Phoenix."?

 

Horrible loss for the White Sox. Does Hendriks get two blown saves?

 

Astros have gone on a 10-0 run apparently.
