Only way you lose to trolls is engaging them.
He doesn't need to talk about everybody he's banning. It's a free stream so fire away at whoever is out of line
It is great video production. I do really like it.
These guys play much too slow for me. They aren't gambling either which makes it less interesting. What is interesting is seeing them go in and out if their best games. Tyler really stepped it up after his last break.
If it wasn't for the quarantine going on here I would have loved to come out there and sit in for a while while either guy got some rest. Maybe next time that will happen. No question Ra has his own unique style. But overall I think he is entertaining and informative in the booth.
I worked with Syd Waddel the most popular commentator in Great Britain at the time, and I couldn't understand most of what he was saying. He had the thickest cockney accent, spoke fast and tended to slur his words as well. And the fans loved him, so go figure.
Yes, Ra did say that on his OTW FB page.
Here are some Sidisms for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aKiDZRGRGo
nick, can you post link,,, very frustrating, not able to watch live. thanks
You’re totally right that it’s not easy to maintain that high level of energy through out a long match. Ra is absolutely a machine in that regard. But to me him in the booth is like listening to one song on repeat over and over. Even if you like the song, it’s only a matter of time before you need a break. I appreciate Ra and with his enthusiasm and passion you know his productions are just gonna get better and better.I disagree. It's not easy to maintain such a high level of energy throughout a long match like this and Ra does it, and he does it well imo. If you really listen to what he has to say, it becomes clear that Ra is no dummy about pool. He knows what's going on out there on the table and often makes good observations that add to the commentary. I think he and Sal make a good team and are doing a terrific job of calling this match. JMHO as always.
Styer had a 3-pack and a 2-pack on Day 1 and a 4-pack and a 2-pack on Day 2.
Robinson had a 2-pack on Day 1.
All other B&Rs were singles.
They averaged 6.8 minutes per game on Day 1 and 7.0 minutes per game on Day 2.
By way of comparison:
- Filler/Aranas race to 100, March 2020 -- 4.1 minutes per game
Van Boening/Orcollo race to 120, Nov. 2019 -- 5.7
Van Boening/Shaw race to 100, Aug, 2019 -- 4.8
B&Rs: Styer is 24 of 66 (36%) through two days; Robinson is 11 of 60 (18%).
On Railbirds TV they have Sky Woodward commentating from home. I think he just watches the stream while he's quarantined.
Not sure I've heard Syd, but I usually enjoy listening to Brits and their dry "humour"
If you were to base who you thought was going to win just off the break and run stats you posted, Tyler would be a clear favorite. But having a 50% higher miss and foul rate shows why Chris has been able to hang in there. Although my conspiracy theorist self wants to think that they have to keep it close for the sponsors and ratings. More commercial time means more $$$...
keep me posted,,,,, thanx
keep us posted, lots on here have same issues
Believe it or not, the match is easier to find on the Roy’s Basement FB page. It will be the 2nd post, following the one detailing the Filler/Bergman match.
Action starts at 1:00 pm PST.
Action starts at 1:00 pm PST.
OMG 6.8 min is slowww
about 1 minute slower than SVB/Orcollo match
They would probably end up playing around 190games so that is about 3 hours slower than others. I can watch 2 movies in that time
