  1. Dibble attempted to be overly modest and commented that as a pitcher you never think your stuff is as good as it is. Palmer clearly being complimentary of Dibble said something like so I guess you didn't think your stuff was any good when you struck out 140 some-odd batters in 80ish innings. Palmer has more than a healthy ego, but if you want to hate on Palmer the announcer there have been many nights with much better examples that could have at least given you real examples to point to. Sounds to me like you couldnt understand the sarcasm for whatever reason. The reason I like Palmer on the broadcast (but totally see the ego comment as valid,) is because he provides deep insite that many other announcers don't. For example have you heard Rob Dibble?!?! Palmers comments tonight regarding Hill and is consistency in his pitching motion, or lack there of at times was real baseball info. He also talked about the grass length at both Camden and the field tonight and how it compares to others. Dibble...I heard the comment about pitchers never think their stuff is any good and I have to wonder if he really believes that or if it just came out of his mouth too quick for him to have given the comment any thought. Dibbles other comments on Maxwell, the Nats CF were laughable, saying he is a great young man and then offered no additional info on the kid that is one of the Nats top prospects. Palmer at least chimed in with comments from a conversation he had with Mike Rizzo, the Nats executive, saying that the Nats liked him but that he has to cut his swing down to be effective in the majors. I know their are tons of examples in any one game, but this post was so stupid and not thought out that I needed to post a few examples from tonight.
