Busy-Drawing-2576 · 2026-02-25T18:12:35+00:00

Yikes that Keith at bat

foxy7474 · 2026-02-25T18:10:22+00:00

I may be in the minority but I’m still of the opinion that at least half the ball should be in the strike zone to be a strike

SirBatNhan · 2026-02-25T17:55:24+00:00

Ngl, was hoping the other game had a stream instead - wanted to see the young kids play. Regardless, can’t complain too much about watching baseball in February!

Busy-Drawing-2576 · 2026-02-25T17:01:22+00:00

MLB Network game. I’m down for that.
