    Default A little something to tide the baseball fans over

    My favorite baseball YouTuber Jomboy media has started a series in which him and a friend watch old WS games and comment on them. It's really cool, entertaining and a pretty solid way of learning some baseball history.

    Here's the latest one.

    I rewatched Cal Ripken game number 2131 earlier today. Watching game 5 of the 1995 ALDS (NY vs. SEA) on MLB Network right now.

    I'd rather watch paint dry.

    Watching old sports replays is cool. Listening to those clowns commenting is not.
    I miss the old Mile High Stadium.

    This gives me an idea to use in a book for the four people left who still read them.

    The idea is this: post-apocalypse listening to a 50 year old AM radio broadcast of a baseball game, but enthralled.

    I think this is part of the reason people think baseball is boring. For some reason people dislike baseball commentators having fun. I watch a ton of baseball and my favorite booths are the ones who tell stories and do more talking than the average booth. Vin's stories were what made him great, he could weave a yarn and call every ball and strike as he did it and never miss a beat. I listen to a lot of these booths who "baseball guys" claim are good (Yankees, red Sox, Cubs) and I find them so painfully boring. I listen to the Rockies broadcasts and they are disrespected constantly by the fishwrap rag baseball writers and I think they're entertaining.

    A Yankee broadcast can literally kill you with boredom.

    Basically a GM sim. You can do in-game manager too, but I like the GM part the best. It has full organizations all the way down to Dominican League, and has MLB licensing so its real. I last bought it three years ago, and it looks like they've added some international leagues too. It's pretty complex if you are into being a GM of your own team. I'd say its way more detailed than minor league systems I've seen on consoles, but you don't get the gameplay.

    If I want a console game, I'm going to have to pony up for a Playstation.

    MLB the Show is amazing. My son and I get it every year, haven't gotten it yet this year though.

    Is out of the park for PC?

    Yes, and Apple, I think too. I have an XBox, so no Show, and I've been tempted to pull the trigger many times. I miss having a console baseball game.
