The Rays/Pirate game is into extra innings.

That being said, baseball is a self explanatory game, no?

but good commentators can provide additional insights and trivia that most viewers would not be aware of. If they're not abrasive personalities, I prefer watching games with commentary audible.

Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow; they’ve been playing tag team for decades and know and share the game on a whole bunch of levels. Jon Miller does radio, and he learned the game listening to Russ Hodges, just like me.

Wow, the Pirates tied up the game again 6-6, and it’s rolling into the twelfth inning!

Giants prevailed in 12 innings.

What do you think of these "City Connect" uniforms? I'm generally not a fan. I wouldn't even have known it was the Nationals on the field with the Giants in those blue jerseys. Just pure revenue is what it's about, IMO.
