Our lineup already was posted in another thread, no surprises there

CBS Sports Network instead of ESPN this time, but another channel I don't have

So I was particularly frustrated by the Gotham game getting bumped from ABC to ESPN2 because of the rain delay (also incidentally frustrated by CBSSN having a bunch of CFL games but at least I can find radio feeds for those) And the way this team is doing I'm not particularly interested in chasing down a feed

At least our game after that (Bay away Saturday 8/1 5:45 P) is supposed to be on free TV (ION)

I feel sorry for people whose physical conditions limit their ability to participate in this activity - especially if they have trouble getting regular work and thus could particularly use the savings

First example that comes to mind is food allergies - limiting what finds they could eat or maybe even be around, bee allergy would be similar if those buzzing around a bin are more than a nuisance Limited endurance, motor skills or immune system would be obvious problems If a hemophiliac something like nicking your finger on a piece of broken glass would be more than a minor annoyance

Hopefully we're actually playing in a few minutes ESPN2 Not listed on NWSL+, sometimes games bumped from broadcast for whatever reason get moved there Besides the wait itself, real bummer when I don't pay for ESPN and would have been able to get it on broadcast ABC at the scheduled time

Lineup-wise still Miller in goal for us, but Dickey's on the bench

While you can watch on the ESPN app, it's not listed on the ESPN+ schedule, apparently you'd have to have a cable subscription. Might be a blessing in disguise the way we've been playing, but I wanted to give them another chance for a Cascadia

Yay we're back, and I recall this initially being scheduled at 3:30 P on Ion, so also FYI about the timing/schedule change

Figured what he heck, I'll go ESL Ballpark (former Frontier Field) isn't sold out but still several thousand people Bills shirts EVERYWHERE The Mafia eager for a taste in the offseason? I am amused by the idea of people elite in one sport trying another L shaped pitcher screen

HR derby one of the pregame events a reason I ran a little early Temporary fence in middle outfield get over that as many times as possible before 7 misses A lot of the misses were high popups to shallow outfield

90 Dwayne Carter 4 including one over the real fence 2 DJ Moore 1 None for Bradley Chubb Doot got 7 TJ Parker 0 Ray Davis got number 7 now apparently dinger number 1 Coleman got 3 Number 72 Mathis worst at making contact, announcer critiquing his bat grip, but did get 1 Rousseau himself made contact but without much power Hairston did better but no HRs one almost

Round 2 allowed 10 misses Coleman 4 HR Carter also 4 Doot won with less than 9 misses

Even against an expansion team worried about more dross like the past few years

I don't have Prime Video and I'm not motivated to get it or find a workaround

I'll be traveling next weekend, even have a short flight right in the middle of the game, so I won't be able to watch and talk live as much as I'd like to

But the game is on Victory+ so should be fairly straightforward to follow on mobile, as scheduled could at least watch the beginning and end on the ground

I was late getting back home but game was also late starting Tuned in at 8:10 Eastern and was only 2 minutes in

No goals yet, solid stops by Claw-dia

Fishel starting with Fishlock out, main thing I noticed in the lineup

Multitasking with the Sabres game, hope I'm not too distracted. Dahlien and Dahlin you could say

Loving the Fishlock promo at the start of the broadcast Jess is starting Mondesir, Mercado, Ratcliffe up front 250th Reign game for our beloved cooler seat occupant. Hope it goes better than David Moyes' 750th PL match

But so far not so good, Utah scores in the 1st minute, misaimed pass amongst our bsckline gives the ball away, sets up assist, nice finish though
