FormerDirtDart sent this over…and I like being goofy on Saturday…so why not:
It’s also an increasingly rare Kiner Day on channel 11 (I love that Keith gets the weekend off somehow.) Â I love Ralph but it’s sunny out and I have lawn and t-ball games to handle, so Howie it is.
Which reminds me – is it me or are the first few minutes of the Mets game sped up. Â Wayne sounded like he was on helium or something last night. Â I don’t know how the technology works but WFAN usually operates with some sort of delay, when Carton gives the time it’s usually off by like two minutes. Â Maybe they don’t want to delay the Mets broadcast and they are catching up somehow.
Oh and WFANners – the MLB App is screwed up. Â One commercial is always inaudible. Â It’s annoying.
(Next rant will be against ESPN but I feel like going outside now.)
OK, it’s settled.
Blue caps + Pinstripes + Dogs = Wins
It’s time to reinstate Homer
Sometimes I bring a radio to listen to the game, while watching live in the stadium. Usually it is to hear replays or explanation of things that are hard to tell in the stands. In the last couple of years, I’ve noticed on several occasions that the start of the game can have a good 30 second delay, but that the radio ‘catches up’ eventually and the play calling becomes very much ‘live’. On opening day this year, first pitch had that 30 secondish delay, but it actually just about caught up to live action in that first inning. No idea why there would be that kind of delay at the start, only to essentially go away.
