What's wrong with that statement? It's true, isn't it?Quote:

I can say some hitters prefer the low fastball and some hitters prefer the high fastball.
Brilliant, aren't I?
Lol.Quote:

But that dosen't go for every pitch, most players don't like low sinkers or curves....Quote:

Watch out! I'm hot on your tails with juicy insider baseball knowledge!
Most people like to win..
I have said the same things about Madden in football. The man states the Obvious and is called a genius!
Some might.Quote:

Its not like its a studio show or a writen article. Of all the stupid and blatanly wrong things that we have to listen to announcers say, someone stating the obvious isn't a big deal.
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:

lol.
If King Felix pitches a 93 mph fastball in Seattle, it might be just as effective as the 93 mph fastball Felix pitched in Oakland.
If Joe Morgan talks in the woods and nobody's there to hear him, does he really say anything there either?
1st inning: Otis Nixon was the Fastest baserunner I ever saw.
3rd inning: Rickey Henderson was without a doubt the fastest baserunner ever.
7th inning: This Ellsbury kid's the fastest runner I've ever seen.
