MLB 2025 Season

McCarver would invent some little quirk that was happening.... like the catcher holding out his pinky or something, get some meaning for it, and yammer on loudly about it for like 3 innings.  It was terrible.  But at this point if I heard him, I would feel nostalgia.

I was stuck in a car for a Yankees/Cleveland game and had to listen to John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman.  That had to be the worst broadcast I have ever heard.  No idea what was going on.  No atmosphere.  They werent describing the action at all.  Karinchak walked the 1st batter on 4 pitches and they PR Locastro.  Waldman invented some sort of narrative that Locastro on base was rattling Karinchak and he was all over the place.  Rattled by it.  Every pitch, both announcers were giddy that this pitcher was rattled and the Yankees would get go ahead runs because of it.  All they were talking about every pitch was how he was rattled.  Annoying and Im sure nobody else in the ballpark was thinking the same thing.  It was a totally invented drama (Yankees didnt score).

I agree they are both terrible!

I am absolutely worthless at the office today. I think I may take the afternoon off.

I’ve been worthless for the last 9 days with COVID! You work hard do it get yourself ready for the game tonight

Oh man, sorry. Hope you start to feel better soon!

I’m turning the corner thanks! It should be a fun WS to watch good luck to your team.

I like Costas too. Liked McCarver back in the day. New guys all talk too much but 
no one stands out to me the way they used to. 

They were two of the biggest talkers, especially Costas.

Yeah McCarver never shut up and said the same tired yarns over and over.

Fact.

Yes it is. I use to call him MouthCarver

McCarver droned for over an hour about Cole Hamels' perfectly legal pickoff throw and whether or not it was a balk. He's the worst.

That was a tough one last night.

I got a ban on FB for commenting about this, lol.

Nobody seems to give a shit that Pujols used this bat.  Oh well.
