Pretty sure he meant to say series.

Plenty happy to get a quality victory in this series after the last two games.

That's probably not true. FYI.

We're not sucking at day time baseball today!

LUUUUUUUUUU

What I can't figure out is how they decide WHICH announce team they use. You would think they would use the home team's. Well in this case, there is no home team TV broadcast.

MLB Network uses their own announcers for some games, but they're big name guys like Bob Costas and Matt Vasgersian typically, so you'll know when they do.

That's what I assumed all the way.

Good points both.

Folks, the only one morally superior to anyone on this board is me, as demonstrated by my name being in green. With that settled, let's back-off with throwing that around at other members and the passive-aggressiveness. Please and thank you.
