MLB Released:

Turner Sports has a new 7 year MLB extension through 2028 which includes a Tuesday Night Game. Expanded playoff coverage.

Ernie Johnson, Pedro Martinez, Jimmy Rollins, Curtis Granderson in studio.

The deal is believed to be more than $3.7 Billion. It's a 65% increase.

Same playoff games with added wildcard game. Can show their MLB games on any of their platforms, apps, highlights etc...Bleacher Report.

ESPN is next up in deal extensions. Fox did theirs in 2018.

I wonder if that Tuesday night game will mark the end of Brian Anderson with the Brewers.  Which would make me very unhappy.

I'd be more concerned about his increasing NBA work, especially if the NBA wants to stick with a Christmas-August schedule in the post-COVID times.

Ueck has been beyond brutal this season.

Haven’t listened in forever. Maybe his age? Back in the day, he was absolutely fantastic.

I remember one game in the mid 70s when the Brewers were getting pounded in front of probably 5000 fans. As things were winding down and he was looking for things to say he made a comment about a small group in the bleachers chanting something. Suddenly he said he could make out what they were saying: “Let us out! Let us out!“

He made you want to listen even when the team was awful.

86 years young.  Probably time to call it a career though.

The Nats have been eliminated, so 2020 will be the 20th consecutive season without a repeated champion. Of the 20 previous WS winners:
11 missed the playoffs
2 lost in the Division Series
5 lost in the Championship Series
2 lost in the World Series (‘01 NYY; ‘09 PHI)

I know he didnt travel to road games much, but announcung via video monitor has to be tough, especially for a geezer like Ueck.

Hell, he probably did call games over the wire like Ronald Reagan back in the day...

For at least the last 5 years the only reason to listen to Ueck is nostalgia. Keeps you entertained with his old stories, but not good at actually calling the action on the field.

But I can’t imagine driving up north and not changing stations as you lose one to catch Ueck calling a game.

Nice little week for Yadier Molina. First, he passes Johnny Bench for 8th all time in Catcher Doubles, and then becomes the 8th Catcher with 2,000 hits. Y2K.

The 9 Gold Glove 2,000 hit list is:

Johnny Bench
Ivan Rodriguez
Yadier Molina.

The Minimum 20 Defensive War and 2,000 hits list is:

Gary Carter
Ivan Rodriguez
Yadier Molina


vs his peers offense: 2,000 hits (second), 381 doubles (second), 932 RBIs (second), 910 runs created (second), 548 extra-base hits (third), 103 game-winning RBIs (third), 160 home runs (fourth) and .281 average (fourth).

vs his peers defense 2004-present, ranks first in all of the following categories: innings caught (16,640), catcher putouts (13,715), assists (987), double plays turned (121), stolen base percentage (63.4) and catcher-caught base stealers (229) Catcher ERA of 3.67.

All time:  (13,715), fourth in catcher pickoffs (51), sixth in innings caught (16,640), eighth in doubles (381), 8th in hits (2,000) and 15th in RBIs (932).

His contract is up after this season. He wants to play another year or two. We'll see.

2. Ted Simmons
3. Fisk
4. Yogi
5. Piazza
6. Gary Carter
7. Bench
8. Jason Kendall
9. Yadi

Nobody, including Yadier Molina himself, would bother to look up the rest, but I think you were off in your first statement.

Not sure about that but it wouldn’t surprise me if he did. He is after all an MLB Roberto Clemente Award Winner.

Oh yes, the end all be all. Other recent winners include Carlos Beltran who masterminded the sign stealing gambit in Houston, David Ortiz who, while very likeable, was aggressively juicing during his time in Boston and got shot associating with known drug dealing heavyweights and has a restraining order against him by his baby mama, and noted awesome super nice guy Curt Schilling. It’s a publicity token for people that did some charity work that year.

Really hard to get excited about a best of three that will likely be played late at night and include no home games.

Wanting my Cardinals to win it all, but if they can't here's to the Miami Marlins!!!

Probably the worst team ever to make the MLB playoffs.
