baseball commentators

watching the DET vs CLE game today. the Detroit guys, i don't know who they were, but they were so awesome. you could tell one of the guys was a pitcher, he literally would predict what the pitcher should do before the pitch and was right every time, it was such a joy to listen to that game. they even had a little bird chirping near the microphone and had to finally address it when it wouldn't fly away. they named it Lucas Giolito i think. i didn't know his middle name is Frost.

i am a bitch i can't stand to listen to Jerry Remy. but this game, there was no bullshit like, Oh this guy is so great; no belaboring life stories. no female commentators hiding in the stands like a where's waldo thing. NOT ONCE! these guys just talked baseball. how the shadows on the field affected the game in the stadium between 4:30 ET- 6:30. and that's important shit. if you got the lead and you have a good bullpen, it's not a good time to play from behind. so yeah, day games on the weekends in CLE. shadows. hitters won't see a good change-up.

btw that guy Aaron Civale, was so calm, cool and collective. the guy never got rattled. at one point the DET color guys were trying to figure out how many times he missed a spot or catcher target pitching. and later with the bases loaded, fielded and threw home or covered first. routine plays but calm and cool.

btw, Carlos Santana fielding 1B is really good! also is it just me or does Carlos have a chance to be really special statistically from the amount of walks he always gets. whats the record for walks in a career or season? i never really noticed his superior walk to strikeout ratio. maybe once or twice but never how prolific.

also, i had a couple ideas about cardboard fans in the stands. i really like the Petco thing in SD with a couple dogs in the stands behind home plate. and the Dodgers idea to have players families in the stands i think.

but then i watch games with no cardboard fans. it's like the movie The Jerk, when he had cardboard people. although there is no need for fake sweat.

and then i had this great idea. why don't we put cardboard fans in the outfield. and when someone hit's one in the face, we can get a free taco, coffee or pizza slice.

if you really think about it, some of the most entertaining moments in baseball was watching fans scramble for the ball after home runs. it happens every game. you could make a whole you tube channel of just fans doing it and probably make money. but i would settle for cardboard ones and free tacos.

also, so teams that don't have cardboard fans?..they were too messed up to agree on something?

i've seen a couple games so far where they didn't have any. what's up with that? does it mean that such a team is too inept to work it out. so teams without cardboard fans have bad management?

As good as Jack Morris is, his partner (Matt Shepard) is, hands down, the worst I've ever heard. Just brutal. I told a friend this not an hour ago.
