KBO Baseball

Let's go!

I guess the Samsung Lions are my team. I wish these started about 3 hours earlier. I imagine I might be able to make it through an inning. ESPN at 1AM ET.



edit: Samsung Lions. Doh.

Lol. Can't make this shit up. It's raining. Field covered. God dammit now this monster zero is going to have me up for another hour for no reason.

We're underway! Go Lions. Roar.

The Lions curse continues.

Put me down for the SK Wyverns!



In case you’re wondering what a Wyvern is....

Today I Learned...

I can't stay up for Korean baseball. It's too late.

I said I was going to stay up and watch it. I adopted the Kiwoom Heroes because I am a winner. I also learned that I can't stay awake that late.

I'm watching the replay now. Still waiting for an epic bat flip

Are they piping in crowd noise?

Last week I saw one Asian league with cheerleaders hamming it up for cardboard cutout fans. Might have been the KBO.

SHOW GOES ON Cheerleaders wear masks and dance for cardboard fans as baseball returns to South Korea after coronavirus shutdown

I've been doing some research.

If the KBO moved up the start times of their early games by 2 hours, it would be noon KST. 11 PM Eastern, 8 PM Pacific. They could also have some games that start at 9 PM KST. That doesn't seem unreasonable, does it? That would be 8 AM Eastern.

Who do I need to put a call into? Does S Korea have a nicer, less Communist version of Dear Leader?

That would be very nice, I thought S Korea was a democratic nation?

When the MLB comes back it will be a damn shame Harry Kalas is no longer with us to welcome America back to the ball park.

Going with Kiwoom on the run line tonight/tmrw morning

The Puppy Bowl did a better job with its fake crowd.

Twitter. You might be able to reach the Commish, the League PR, club owners, sponsors (who would love more eyes watching), and maybe the beat writers and tv reporters to make your suggestion.

Actually, I love the idea of you tweeting at the ones who don’t read English. They’ll wonder wtf is going on.

I've been advocating that for UM's cheerleaders for decades.

Or they'll just tap the little "translate tweet" button that shows up below tweets that aren't in your default language.

My oldest had a HS/college friend work for the US government in Korea for 2 years so went there for a two week visit. Attended 3 Dusan home games.

Crowd noise isn’t piped in. The Korean fans are like English soccer fans who cheer and chant all game. (and no limit beer consumption probably helps).

I think he means because the stands are empty GRR.

Not sure that’s on my phone app, or at least I’ve never seen it. Then again, I’m not reading or being sent non-English language tweets, so who knows.

Korrect.

I spent a few minutes looking for an official Twitter, or the commish's Twitter. Came up empty.

Maybe go for the writers and broadcasting side. Maybe you’ll get an article published or story aired. It’s so popular in America they want us to start our games earlier. Hell, write the opinion yourself and get their biggest paper to publish it.
“Greetings from America, where the evil clowns live! I come to you today to ask that KBO games start earlier to accommodate me, WBH.”
