I love baseball

Anyone out there have a list of MLB at bats that have involved multiple replay reviews? (This is niche, but not any more niche than the time George Moriarty split his pants behind home plate, and that's been logged.)

My favorite Pat call is “I wish all of you could be right here at this moment.” What he’s really saying is “I know what you’re all feeling, and so do I, but we can’t dwell on it right now and it would ruin the euphoria if we did.” Says even more with his tone than the words.

What am I going to do without advertisements for toilet valves, adult diapers, the village of Bedford Park, and any form of Bosch for the next five months?

Baseball is a hard enough sport to play when you have to get 27 outs. Don't make yourself get more than 27 and make the other team earn all of theirs. (This isn't flashy advice, but it's reliable because it works.)

Philosophical questions in my brain... Bears finish second down with 0:35 left. Play clock immediately starts from 40 seconds, even though the game clock will expire before the play clock does. Why does the play clock even start?

Why do I invest emotionally in this team?

Vanderbilt’s basketball team has a freshman named Chandler Bing. I respect that this is the only thing listed under his personal bio on team’s site:

Rule 9.15(b) provides that a pinch-hitter who steps in with two strikes does not get charged with a *strikeout* if it happens. If Blake Perkins had put the ball in play and made an out, he'd get charged with the AB. (For the benefit of the @scoringchanges types)

The last time the Blue Jays won the pennant, Greg Gumbel was the play-by-play announcer.

Things that annoy me and possibly nobody else: NBC’s scorebug said “Referees Zach Zarba, Eric Dalen, Jason Goldberg.” Only one of those is the referee.

While we're doing pedantry around here, the NBA refers to the free throws awarded when your opponent has exhausted its foul quota as "penalty" free throws. That situation is described as "in the penalty." The word "bonus" does not appear anywhere in the NBA rulebook.

What a wonderful phrase.

This item may be of interest to fans of ACC and SEC schools, like the one 45 minutes from where I live. (And if you’re a fan of any D1 football or men’s basketball team, Matt’s site is pretty awesome in terms of what’s on TV and streaming.)

…these things being related, of course.

This group is pretty deep. Arledge and Cosell from Monday Night Football, John Facenda of NFL Films, and Seymour Siwoff from the Elias Sports Bureau are the ones close to my heart.

Someone with better @retrosheet skills is going to have to look up the last 3-1-5 batted-ball putout, with or without the FC attached.

While we're querying, how often do we get positionless* ABs like the one Kiner-Falefa had in the sixth? (*Pinch-hitter or pinch-runner whose spot comes up again in the same inning before he has a chance to assume a defensive position)

The Chicago Bears: making me regret having an emotional investment in football since about 1999.
