I kind of miss when more TV shows gave us 24 or more episodes every year, instead of eight hour-long episodes every three years. More than anything, I miss filler episodes. Filler episodes are the worldbuilding that make great TV shows what they are. There’s nothing terribly worthwhile about them in and of themselves, but they’re another way to have some friendly and familiar faces on the screen, even if you aren’t terribly invested in what’s happening.
Baseball is a place where there are still filler episodes. Over 162 games, you’re bound to get a healthy chunk of them, and this 10-1 White Sox loss at the hands of the Royals was certainly one.
