World Series Thread: New York Mets vs Kansas City Royals

[CJ-Freeway]

He gone!

[Spanky99]

Yeah, we've got a game folks! Love this s***!!

[Spanky99]

I meant to mention that last night to Gruber, it's not Wright's arm, it's his back. That goes for you too Montreal Kid.

[TilsonBritoFan]

Hopefully here comes the Cueto meltdown

[Spanky99]

It's happening Bro.

Tom Verducci has been an incredible colour guy for Fox. He doesn't speak up a whole lot, but when he does it's almost always insightful - or even better, researched.

 

The one good thing about the broadcast, which is terrible in general.

 

He's like the opposite of Harold Reynolds, who just talks off the cuff, talks all of the time to fill any silent air, and seems to just be wilfully ignorant about a lot of things.

 

I remember Joe Buck being sort of boring but professional nonetheless. However, he's seemed largely disinterested and boring all playoffs. A lot of the time this is how he'll play-by-play call an at bat:

"strike one... here's the 0-1... ball one... here's the 1-1.... good rip on 1-1... (insert Ned Yost reference)... (no comment on ball 2)... 2-2 pitch... Moustakas! - Hosmer! ----- inning over."

 

so f***ing boring, Buck

Buck just wants to call football. He even admitted it on twitter or something.

 

It'd be better if Verducci and Ugghhh...Reynolds were there.

[Spanky99]

Yes, Mets!

[BigCecil]

Mets got a break on the blown DP. Got to make them pay.

[candymartinez]

Terrible non challenge. Maybe if you only have one, but with two?

Ned Yost, brah!

[art_vandelay275]

prob stating the obvious here - cheering for a team not to win is not very satisfying....

[Spanky99]

Zobrist, lol. He gun get paid!

Meh, I'd want the Mets to win, regardless.

[candymartinez]

Buck: "the lineup is good one though nine." lol

[Frenchsoup]

A-rod should go into broadcasting

[BigCecil]

The resurrection of Arod cred continues. A year ago who would have imagined him commentating on a WS broadcast?

Allright brah

[Frenchsoup]

Lagares usually catches that one.

surprisingly, i like listening to arod... pretty interesting insights from a (current) player's perspective...

why surprisingly. he's a very humble and likable guy

All I can think about is a half man half horse centaur with a headset on

PED's or not Arod is in rareified air when it comes to what he has done on a ball field. Lots of knowledge.

[art_vandelay275]

because for the bulk of his career, he was the exact opposite of that...

He sounds 100 times more professional than Reynolds lol

[BigCecil]

Barry Davis and O2 are more popular than Reynolds on this Board.

[CJ-Freeway]

I tried to give him a chance, I really did. But the whistling was too much lol.

[Spanky99]

Great ballgame!

[CJ-Freeway]

My MLB TV feed is choppy AF. Anyone else experiencing this?
