God Melanie is so bad. He’s been able to ‘straighten out his throw’?  WTF. 

All those odd phrasings.   Earlier in the game someone "arrived at third".   No one says that.

29% chance JBJ GIPD?  No. Just no.

She says things that are close approximations of baseball aphorisms.  I suspect she is an early Apple AI program.

Robo umps can’t get here soon enough. 

I Know this is the game thread, but in tennis, while Hawk-Eye has a claimed 4 mm error margin (1/6 inch) the actual observed error margin has been as high as 10mm (about 2/5 inch) about 10% of the time, and very occasional awful Angel-Hernandez type calls that are well over 1-2 inches off.  Are we okay with that from a robo ump?  Statcast uses a modified version of Hawk-Eye from my understanding.  Any miscalibrations from Hawk-Eye will create some wild error margins.  I have definitely noticed times when statcast doesn't really agree with my eyes.

Big two outs but now Springer is very scary here.

I think she actually said straighten out his delivery but like @SteveA has pointed out in the past I had to think through what she said to figure out what she was trying to say.

 I’m still not sure.

Game may be on the line here.

Pathetic.

Wife just pointed our how the baby blue tops and pants together look really bad. Looks almost like not only a road uniform, but an alternate road uniform. Or perhaps baseball pajamas.

Didn't they wear all red one day last week? Looked like The Angels. 

[Moose Milligan]

Ugh, there ya go.

[justD]

Damn. That looks like a playoff-bound hit. 

[dtk9119]

WTF kind of pitch was that????

Son of a b****
