Also, these uniforms look awful - how do they look in real life?
I don't see well enough to notice all these details, but there have been numerous complaints across baseball about the pants being see-through and the writing being just printed on. Apparently all these changes were activated by players' complaints about being too hot in their unis. Now they want the old ones back.

Why does the ad in back of home plate say Nationals.com and Astros.com? What's the relationship there? Using the same field?

Was that Yorke at 2B making that nice defensive play last inning? I think it was, but I didn't hear the announcers say who it was (and judging by the rest of this godawful telecast, I'm they probably didn't.)
But watching this awful telecast is still way better than not being able to watch the game at all.

I get irritated when I get notifications from Apple TV that the game will be on live in a few minutes and then I turn the TV on and "There is no feed available for this game".

C'mon; how are we supposed to get excited about these teams when we can't show the damn games?

I'm watching Phillies @ Toronto on mlbn. Toronto has its regular-season booth, fwiw.
Edit: The names on this Detroit team: Baddoo and Bemboon are delightful to say.

Red Sox take the lead in the first after Ceddanne walks and steals second, scores on a hit by Abreu. Fun!
The fun fades a bit when Giolito gives up a leadoff bomb though. He ends the first with no further damage.

Jeez, Flemming feels the need to do a complete brain dump between every pitch. He just does not stop.

Would be fun to be able to watch a few of these games on TV. What a cool concept that would be.

Giolito pitching badly in the third. Single, walk, walk. Yanked with the bases loaded, one out. No runs in yet, but whoever Jordan DiValerio is will inherit 3 of his runners.
He's just getting his work in!

He must be paid by the word FFS. Never heard so much verbal diarrhea in play by play and he usually isn’t talking about the ongoing play. Instead he talks like a guy being interviewed on a podcast. Always brining up past performance, contracts, good play, poor play, and anything under the freakin’ sun.
Give me Lou, Joe, and or Sean McD any day.

MLB app won't even open the weei feed for me, guess it doesn't like Flemming either.

I turned it off. Not because of the score. Phlegmming is unlistenable. He's not talking about baseball. He's showing off what he knows about baseball

3-0 then the grand slam.
Giolito was my very least favorite of all the prominent starting pitcher free agents. I'm trying to give him a clean slate and hope he proves me wrong.
It's just spring training, just getting his work in, best shape of his life, new pitching strategies will fix everything, etc. etc.

It's like free association. The volume difference with him and Joe is also offputting. It gives the impression Flemming is lipping the microphone.

Clean inning with 1 strike out for Justin Slaten and Chris Murphy each from the boxscore.
