Hot take? I don't disagree with him. One of the things that sort of enrages me about attending a sporting event now is that there's SO MUCH NOISE and distraction and lots of things going on unrelated to the sportsball. It can make it difficult to pay attention.
I get it. I haven't been to a live game since they introduced the pitch clock to speed up play, I wonder if it just makes the whole experience (more of) a sensory overload.

Sadly, the Phillies are done with the Rockies (now 8-42) this year.
It's almost June...and there are 3 days of the week that they have not won a game on yet.
Still a highly profitable team, last I heard. Denver fans are loyal, and the stadium always has a good crowd down the left side, especially when marquis teams are in town. So there's no motivation to spend.
Especially given their recent bad luck signing free agents who then never play again.
Yeah that dude landed like a sack a potatoes. Plus it looks like he wasn't wearing pants or shirt. And he waited until a play to the outfield (sort of) and just frickin' launched himself over. Looked like a couple of neurons shot one arm toward the railing to grab on but the rest of him was already headed for the warning track.
Edit: wearing shorts but had taken off his shirt and poured beer on himself in support of a Pirates rally.
Yeah, I'm surprised MLB gave it that title, other than something like "funny catch" or "bumbling catch" or something. It was fun to watch though. One of the more annoying commentators on ESPN was carping about that title as well. I saw another clip of the play where the batter was looking out at Varsho and shook his head and smiled at him after the play.
I don't know who that is but I agree with every word of that rant and there was a time when I would have delivered it with the same level of enthusiasm.
Well no it's one of the worst ever but it's a catch so it looks perfect in the box score!
