Some guys like a base on balls, some prefer a balk call.
he also talked about scoring runs " They would like to score some runs, because if they don't they might not win"
He must have some juicy info on ESPN, because there's no reason he should still be doing games, plus they got rid of Harold Reynolds so if they got rid of Joe the NAACP would jump down their necks.
I liked Reynolds. Man, too bad he acted like a jackass off camera.
If you score more runs than the other team, you'll usually win
I liked him too. Isn't he on MLB.tv now? Is that any good by the way? Heard a lot of good things but never tried watching.Quote:

I agree. I myself, find him entertaining but I would not consider him a genius.Quote:

Fair play, Guys, the two of them (the impressive commentator, - whose name I forget - and colour man Joe), did go on to discuss the differing movements of the two kinds of pitch, concluding, I must admit, that no-one knows where the knuckler goeth!Quote:

One thing I wish that yesterday's broadcast crew had discussed is the crucial play where the Boston fielder (Lugol?), in an attempt to snare the winning hit by the N.Y. seemed to knock the ball out of its path toward the back-up fielder, who might have gathered it in time to prevent the Yankees from scoring.
A great game, whatever our opinions of the talking heads.
Nah, Joe's huge audience is made up of those looking to nitpick his commentaryQuote:

As a relative newcomer to modern-day t.v. baseball broadcasting, I am frustrated by the brevity of the t.v. ads between innings.Quote:
