[PurpleBlood87]

A prize from Old Dutch Potato chips for a foul ball.

 

[PurpleBlood87]

Could the announcer be anymore monotone?

 

[Opintel]

Really big difference between the video (30+ seconds behind) and KTCU.

 

[hometown frog]

‘A four one count there’. Ooof

Best I could do. It’s a weird set up for sure.

Where you sitting?

 

[PurpleBlood87]

Just last week the dugouts were on freighters coming from Europe.

 

[PurplFrawg]

gotta love the old double play
end of 1; TCU up 2-0

 

[PurpleBlood87]

Yes! Won 50 bucks on XFL. I'll take it.

 

[Opintel]

I might turn the BTN audio back on. Hard to handle this difference - and, our announcer is amusing.

 

[PurpleBlood87]

just sent a message to chat on the BTN Plus.

is there chance of telling the announcer for the TCU-Minnesota game how to read a batting average? It's not point three seven five it's three seventy-five. He is actually reading the point in .375.

Sounds like Les Nessman

 

[Opintel]

All this dead air...and that's just between the words in his descriptions.

Sounds like Les Nessman

• Bailey Quarters : [walking into the bullpen with Jennifer to find Les rummaging carelessly through the papers on her desk without asking] Hey buster, what the heck is going on here?
  
  Les Nessman : My sports update is missing.
  
  Bailey Quarters : [ultimately taking the sports update from the corner of her desk and placing it deliberately in front of Les] You don't tear around with *my* desk. It's right here. I thought maybe you wanted me to proofread it for you.
  
  Les Nessman : No one has to proofread my copy!
  
  Jennifer Marlowe : Now, come on you two. Let's all be friends.
  
  Les Nessman : [looking up at Jennifer after reading the copy] She's changed this, Jennifer.
  
  Bailey Quarters : [dismissively] Oh, just a little.
  
  Les Nessman : No, you changed the meaning completely.
  
  Bailey Quarters : [pointing at the copy] It just does not make any sense. It is a "swimming meet", not a "swim meeting". Right, Jennifer?
  
  Jennifer Marlowe : [stumbling over her words in trying to be diplomatic] Uh, I think it probably could go both ways.
  
  Bailey Quarters : [pointing at the copy] And reporting that "the swimmers swam in water" is a bit unnecessary.
  
  Jennifer Marlowe : I don't know...
  
  Bailey Quarters : [pointing back at the copy] And it is the breast stroke, Les, not breast stroking!
  
  Jennifer Marlowe : [nodding positively to Les] That does sound wrong.
  

 

[PurpleBlood87]

What is the over-under on how many times he will say Minnesota Twins?

 

[PurpleBlood87]

TCU 2, Minnesota 0 Top 3

 

[Opintel]

The announcer just fell off a sled in the parking lot...he was injured and unable to escape the BTN talent crew. They pulled a ski pole on him and forced him into the announcer's booth.

Unfortunately, the color person escaped. Or, was it unfortunate?

Could it be Satan?

 

[PurplFrawg]

Sacco homers. TCU up 3-0

 

[Opintel]

I'll bet this guy can not get a date.

 

[PurpleBlood87]

Anyone see the dimensions down the right-field line?

 

[PurpleBlood87]

I do like the BTN graphic. It's nice and clean looking.
