Yeah, awful is not right. He has presence, he calls the game with some skill, he engages his cohorts decently enough, but Lordy he has no feel for just being in the moment and letting the game be the game.
The contextual discounts don’t make for an easy match. How much less than the fair market off season value is Seattle going to take for one if their young starters in exchange for a solid hitter off our current roster? And vice versa?
Reasons why this won’t happen:
pitching >>> hitting
pitching>>>>more risk than hitting
We might need to beat them in a short series to go to the WS this year.
