Watching baseball.....and I can not believe these, absolutely perfect baseball games are like this now.........

I’m absolutely loving the box over the batting area…..INSANE. And wait a minute…..why are the Twinkies wearing the Brewers colors??? I never knew the opponent would stoop to such depths, wearing the opponent’s colors.

1. Those are the 'City Connect' uniforms the teams are required to wear once a week

It totally messes with my mind sorting out who’s who during some games.

All with my favorite players name on the, Devers, I guess I'm just out 500 bucks.

Just kidding, but I'm sure someone had them all, along with a couple of Betts jerseys.

Money grabs by pro teams, f them.

3. Box over the batting area? Do you mean the ostensible strike zone?

I don't like that at all, because the strike zone is dependent on the batter. It moves around, and it can even move during the same at bat if the batter crouches down. But the on-screen box doesn't, it stays in a fixed spot. It's annoying.

4. Sorry, I didn't think of that, the moving around of the batter. I don't watch baseball much.....

A Brewer fan here, and live in Minnesota, so when the Crew is playing I don’t get them on any of my networks. When they play the Twinkies, (Twins) I started watching and noticed the box. Was surprised, and thought this is pretty cool, but now that you point that out……I won’t be so impressed. Oh, and go Crew. ♥️ 💙 💛

Detroit fan here, please take down the Twins!

City Connect uniforms are terrible.
