Won't get to see the game
Fiancee wants to go see Get Smart… the movie and game have the same starting time. (Compromise I make because of the rarity of us having time off at the same time when things are actually open.) I’ll be tracking it on my phone, looks like… so here’s the new rally image I promised last game but couldn’t use.

From what I can tell...
The high camera angle is due to a “sunken field,” which alows more seating on the lowest level of the stadium. That pushed the high level seating (and booths) farther away from home plate than most stadiums. That, in turn, pushes the camera angle up.
I guess.

maybe you shouldn’t sign melhuse but someone like him wouldn’t be bad. the fragily psyched salty (as some have suggested) might feel a bit threatened if you brought up another catcher of the future

Let’s work under the assumption that Laird is out until, say, August 1, and that might be conservative.
Do you call up Teagarden? MaxRam? What do you do with Salty? Do you try to deal Laird in the offseason now?
Also, what about signing a Damian Miller? He’s available, and would probably come cheap.

If you call him up, you then have to go find a backup catcher for Oklahoma. So you are still going to end up going out on the street and finding a veteran catcher.

Laird isnt dependable
and hasnt ever been. every time we have ever counted on him and really relied on him he has slumped or sucked or gotten hurt. every time.
and then of course you get the TT fans who ignore that he’s older and is struggling like salty never struggled in the minors. Salty is younger he hit better in the minors and he is at the major league level.
and that doesnt even cover the fact that if the rangers ever really meant to trade salty, they would have left him in AAA and let him rip it up to keep his value really high. his value at the moment you decided that salty was the guy to send away was at its lowest point.
there are so many obvious reasons that it makes me wonder

Anyone else been having issues? Yesterday it would ‘snap’ and then the volume would change radically (it would become very soft, I’d have to turn the volume nearly to 100% to listen to it). When the commercials came back on the volume would be ‘normal’ again for a few seconds and then ‘snap’ and the volume would be soft again.
Today it is ‘snapping’ a lot (a lot) but no volume changes. This ‘snapping’ is happening so often it distracts from the broadcast. Currently it is ‘snapping’ nearly once every 2 seconds. I can’t listen to it. :-(

Yeah, I've got the same problem
But I can’t take the Washington announcers, so I’m sticking it out.

so it's just the Ranger feed?
I hadn’t even thought about trying the Washington feed. I assumed it was a GD Audio issue and would apply to all feeds. :-(

Well, I also use TVants
And TVants has the Washington announcers. I wouldn’t know about any other GD audio feeds, I’ll have to check a different one after the game.

He has to repeat the same throw, much like a pitcher has to work on repeating his delivery. Salty has about 7 different throws down to second.
