You can watch a week of American League games and not hear the word "sacrifice," then these NL "experts" broadcast a series and treat the sacrifice as a great strategic weapon.

He also hasn't broadcasted a game since last year as he coaches at SDSU. Brenly is solid since he has managed in the league, just with less personality than Pinella.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573309418360480080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-37879315777877425512007-10-08T19:55:00.000-04:002007-10-08T19:55:00.000-04:00Caray is a horrible pbp guy, just horrible.

Anyone ever hear of chemistry? Phil Mushnick of the NY Post brought up a good point. TBS actually shows the game at crucial points rather than crowd reactions or Joe Torre going into his nose up to the second knuckle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-59368912916883370442007-10-08T19:35:00.000-04:002007-10-08T19:35:00.000-04:00Frank Thomas...in the pregame show for Monday's ga...Frank Thomas...in the pregame show for Monday's game...mentions "there is no way the Yankees are going to play Sheffield at first base, since he has not played there all year.<BR/>JT<BR/>Lynchburg, VAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-63570583787603909572007-10-08T16:43:00.000-04:002007-10-08T16:43:00.000-04:00Funny, since people in DC hated Darling the first ...Funny, since people in DC hated Darling the first season of the Nats.odessastepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14797641063451326980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-34871646017859877762007-10-08T16:10:00.000-04:002007-10-08T16:10:00.000-04:00I'd just like to hear ONE announcer who knows that...I'd just like to hear ONE announcer who knows that the so-called "right way to play baseball" is the asinine WRONG way to play baseball. Unless, that is, if a manager's goal is to satisfy the color commentator's bunt fetish. Brenly did everything he could to throw away the 2001 World Series, but still lucked out. He obviously hasn't learned anything.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16608943730483992955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-61787239897745274302007-10-08T15:48:00.000-04:002007-10-08T15:48:00.000-04:00Ron Darling,in the booth for the Cubs-D'backs seri...Ron Darling,in the booth for the Cubs-D'backs series, was very good.
