Well that anthem was bad ass. Very cool.

Melanie on the TV broadcast.  We knew with Brown off doubt softball that this day would come.

At least Jim is there.

[Fiver6565]

Please tell me it’s not Melanie doing PBP for this one. 

[cravens86]

Is anyone else’s screen cut off? It was fine for Anthem but now is off center 

[Moshagge3]

Crowd looks not so big.

[Fiver6565]

God help us it really is Melanie. Now I have to consider the mute button. Or maybe another smoke, that might make this real interesting.

Semien not tipped off about that slider.

[Malike]

Gotta say....I don't hate the uni.

[PHRESH]

What up, smellas?! Let's get a win tonight. 

Grayson looking so so far. Initial thought is this ump has a small zone. 

[Malike]

It's criminal to wear white shoes with it, though. Mounty is no Beau Brummel.

Haha I hated them so much as they started leaking out. I still didn't like them when I read the initial press release and still don't fully understand the connection. But I agree, I don't hate the way they look

[PHRESH]

Wow, that's a great take

I’m digging it.   I like the color popping out.  Cool concept.  More to it than first appeared.  I like the white belt.  The hat is $$.
