There definitely was too many cooks in the kitchen for that broadcast. It got annoying at times but I can see why they are doing it. All the advanced stats, the constant talking. They are trying to appeal to the younger crowd. Not sure how many young kids are going to watch a 5+ hour baseball game broadcast, but I enjoyed it.
Yikes. I wonder how it will play out, and it's so easy to show texts but delete the ones that don't fit your narrative. Regardless, this isn't good for Bauer...
Those sliders? curves? he was throwing in the dirt were pretty nasty at times. If he can get something like that going to mix up the hitters you'll see even more K's and less HR potentially.
"Joe, you've been traded to the Marlins. This is Kim Ng's number. She's a good person, she's the GM. She's expecting your call. Buddy will help you with the plane flight. You're a good ballplayer, Joe, and we wish you the best."
Great move. Get rid of Joe and get another lefty in the batting lineup at some point. Dickerson knows how to work a count and has some sneaky pop. Also who doesn't want a side throwing crafty reliever that's controllable for a few more years?
