Electronic strike zone

How many episodes do we need??

What good is it for the game, any game, to eject the pitching coach?

Not a factor if there’s an electronic strike zone.

Yikes, 4 pitch walk

It always amuses me that they use the same scripts with Geren as with Howe and Macha

And each one of them is terrible in a different endearing way. Geren’s expression is much better than Macha’s (which would be true of pretty much anyone) but he pauses in strange places.
