I get that a lot. It's an expression of "let's say the trouble is on your end" from lazy programmers.

Great play and great reaction after the play.

That smile after he caught it was the best part of the video.

Matt Lepay is a good announcer. He is also the radio voice for the Wisconsin Badgers football team.

Arcia and Cain. Happy Together.

Big series starting Monday. I'll be waiting to #FlyTheW

We miss him but still love him here in KC.

Since we couldn't keep him, glad the Brewers got him back.

Nice reaction and catch by CF Cain bailing out SS Arcia who would have had an error.

As for "That's why you watch all 9 innings, folks." I saw it, and didn't watch any of the game. I did listen to the Cubs on the radio however.

Baseball is a fine game. And it can be played by normal men!

Brewers were up 11-1 in the fourth? That's why you go to bed and watch the highlights in the morning, folks.

I watched Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale throw several 100MPH pitches, give up one run, strike out 10, and still lose to the White Sox 1-0. Dylan Covey has been getting zero run support but only needed one last night.

"Brewers were up 11-1 in the fourth? That's why you go to bed and watch the highlights in the morning, folks."

As I said last night, the Brewers were running up the score.

I learned the concept of the bad sportsmanship of "running up the score" from Meade, and I like to evoke when it will trigger the reaction that in baseball you should never get comfortable with any lead.

In baseball, if you take the starting players out and let the lesser members of the team play, you can't put the best people back in. Football and basketball don't work like that. Obviously, also, in baseball, the time never runs out. Even though it can get "late early."

In baseball, not running up the score doesn't mean taking out starters. It means not always trying to take an extra base, no stealing, no bunting, etc. Scoring runs by straight up hitting, no matter what the score, is acceptable.

"They" are afraid that someone might download their precious video, otherwise They would just put up a link to a(n) mp4 file. (To make this video harder to download it was divided into 21 pieces that looked like:

Your using XP doesn't help, but my up-to-date yet stupid tablet wouldn't play that stuck puppy video: the progress bar moved but the dog didn't.

Anyway, this video showed a guy hitting a ball into the air with a stick then two guys with swollen, deformed left hands who were standing out on a lawn ran to the ball to catch it but it bounced off one guy's deformed hand and the second guy caught it.

It didn't seem fair that they all had one deformed hand except for the guy with the stick.
