MLB 2022: The Long and Winding Thread

You don't see that 'drop and drive' style anymore. Pitchers pivot over the front front foot now.

 

Are you throwing home?
I wonder if you did forget me?
I thought you did from the look in your eye
(Look in your eye, look in your eye)
Took my lead and relaxed
While you started in your windup
Suddenly I heard the coach yelling to get back
And you rang my bell, rang my bell
Yeah you rang my bell, rang my bell
And it hurt like hell, hurt like hell
When you rang my bell
(Ring-a-ring, ring-a-dingaling)

 

I saw Buck Showalter do it to Bonds once, but Seager?

Does Matt Vasgersian run the Rangers' Twitter account in addition to announcing the Angels' games?

 

Vasgersian just announced that Walsh "fouled that one off" as the ball was sailing over the left-field fence. Anybody who wants to blast the Angels for not having their announcers on the road, go right ahead.

 

The Stephen Nelson-Hunter Pence-Katie Nolan Apple TV+ booth is much better this week although Nolan comes off like the person who goes to a game with two more knowledgeable fans who keeps interjecting comments to not feel ignored.
