The camera work was awful on the Gunnar HR. They framed the shot as if the ball was going to be caught by the right fielder. -

Yes, the accent is annoying and why doesn't she extend that courtesy to everyone for example pronouncing Kimbrel with an english accent or Kjerstad with a Norwegian accent. -

That's how I felt. Her weaknesses were still on display and there were some mistakes, but I felt it was pretty watchable. I'm not sure she'll ever be that good at PBP, because she continues to phrase a lot of her descriptions in weird ways. She's in like an uncanny valley of commentary where she uses a lot of the standard tools/phrases but consistently slightly misapplies them. But, I think improvement could come from making her PBP approach more distinct from her other roles. I feel like she overpursues narratives (especially feel-good narratives about the O's) at the expense of being on her toes to describe the unfolding of the game at hand. Lots of PBP people do this (Kevin Brown does sometimes) but if they're good, they know exactly when to snap back to action mode, and describe the game crisply when doing so. -
