there's so much to unpack from today, so i'll just start listing them. tuesday was devastating for oakland, today was twice as devastating for the yankees.  they had just started to play better.

The boy and I were at the last ALCS clincher - we were walking on air for days after Altuve’s walkoff. Today, the boy is 5,000 miles and 7 hours away, with no way to watch. So we did a video chat, w

Enjoy it. Old Altuve, no more Correa means this is the very end of the road for your tainted dynasty.

Some Boston fans are pulling for us. Yankee fans wanted us to beat the Red Sox because reasons.

Now Joez McFly wants the NL to win because Trashtros hate lol.  All that hate's gunna burn you up son.

And judging by that rusty pole in his apt, I bet Joez has wild parties.  Love it.  Ain't gonna lie.  I lived in

a similar apt in Queens for a few years.  Then the same shit hole in Weehawhen.  Had to on the come up.

back to this play, correa had no choice after they touched first, he can't just stand / stay on first ?
Yeah, I think that was a mistake there. The force out for tagging the bag is the batter running to first. They can't force an out at second any longer, so staying on any base is safe. Him pulling the first baseman back by jumping towards right field gave Jordan enough time to get home safe. That throw home was maybe a half second late, otherwise it's a triple play.

I’m thankful that Schwarber is as bad defensively at 1B as Gary Sanchez is at C.

yeah they made it seem like it was some heads-up play by schwarber but whatever. when you catch a ball like that, the rule is to tag everything (runners, bases) before throwing, which is what he did.

no idea what the ump signaled but cc got confused, he should’ve stayed on the bag.

Correa thought Schwarber caught the ball, and when he realized that it was a short hop he panicked. When Schwarber tagged the base 1st, Correa would have been safe had he not left the bag. Turns out it didn't matter, because Tucker put it away in the 8th.

But if Schwarber had tagged Correa first, even if Correa was still standing on the base, and then Schwarber stepped on the base, it's still a double play.  While the force is still on, you can be tagged out even if you haven't left the base you're being forced from.

That's what he should have done, but he tagged the base first. Either way, he should have worried about protecting home plate as his first priority. It was an error on his part, but that doesn't show up on the board.

Seriously. Do yourself a favor. Great article:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-hundred-years-of-listening-to-baseball-11634961661?st=pgazz2deqirhs42&reflink=article_copyURL_share

what are your methods for this, as I would love to do that.

I have AT&T Fiber, Roku and of course mlb66.ir.   

I also have MLB.com subscription for free through T-Mobile.

Is it as simple as getting iHeartRadio app on tv or computer?

For half of this season, the Toronto Blue Jays didn’t have a dedicated radio broadcast team, opting instead for a simulcast aired on both TV and radio

. I feared some team would try that and I am glad it failed for the Jays.

If you can record both broadcasts it's a snap -- you might get lucky and they will be in sync, but most likely not. Find the one that's running ahead and pause it for the few seconds it takes for the other to catch up and you should be set for the rest of the game.
