Holy fuck that bat "boy" at the end of the first clip

Although thinking about it there's a decent chance it's an adult with developmental issues, not sure why else a grown adult would be a minor league bat boy. So I guess I feel bad. But still.

you would be correct - that's Big Mike, affectionately known, as the Skeeters bat boy. he's been there since their inception and does have developmental issues but is a really nice guy. Skeeters had a Big Mike bobblehead promotion one night in his honor. it was awesome.

How is this even up for debate? Unless he plans to retire, you bring him back for the next two seasons. All you ageist fuckers think he sucks but the undeniable truth is that he's done a good job this year.

I mean if he goes Jack McKeon sure otherwise I wouldn't mind getting younger at that post.

Rays win...womp womp

Tonight is the MFY's last gimme game vs Arlington.  The Sox and Jays definitely have the easier path remaining.  Going to be a real shame when spending $200+ million dollars can't even qualify for the wild card.

I’ll debate that. He’s good, but you think we couldn’t do better? I beg to differ.

what do y’all think julia morales pulls a year from ATTsports/Astros? discussing with a buddy and we have wildly different guesses.

Whatever Julia/TK/Blum make is not enough. It cannot be stated how much better this crew is than pretty much every other team out there. 

I’ve tried to listen to other teams broadcasters and it’s brutal.

Kalas has a pretty nice place out in Kingwood. 
 

Agreed. I really like the trio. They need Blummer to get drunk on air. I remember he “wandered off” in Oakland a few years back and they basically cut him out of the rest of the broadcast. I think he pounded a few cocktails and the camera guy ratted him out.
