The 2011 Jim Palmer Quotables Thread

[nerdlinger]

These are 2 that can be heard possibly every game he does lol.

1. He needs to constantly remind us that its 60 ft 6 inches from the mound to home plate.

2. If we are winning 5-2 in the 9th, he says "The Orioles need 3 outs before the other team gets 3 runs, it's that simple".

Not knocking him though because I can't stand Jim Hunter and how Palmer puts up with him game after game blows my mind lol

[KLINE]

Did anyone catch this, and I'm off with my numbers I'm sure-

Hunter: The O's were 42-16 when scoring 5 or more runs last year

Palmer: That'll work...

Reminded me of Major League 2, Hunter just needed to come back with a "Dynamite drop in Monty, that broadcasting school is really paying off"

"....pitched 4,000 innings, supposed to be an analyst, i know something about pitching....i don't see him with this stuff getting good hitters out at the major league level..."

Palmer on Tillman.

Gotta love the quick resume there. Thanks, Jim. We didn't know.

[The Wedge]

Both Palmer and Thorne talked about the Sports Show calling him "John MacDonald." I never heard them correct themselves. Whoops.

I was so confused. If I had known it was Norm, I would have actually understood why they thought it was funny.

haha...'I drive a Dodge Stratus. I'm a division director in charge of 49 people! People are scared of me! I can do 100 push-ups in 20 minutes!'

I forget who the SP was, but Hunter said "He's really got a good breaking ball today."

Palmer replied: "Well, at least Adam (Jones) is making it look good. It's not such a good pitch if the hitter doesn't swing at it every time".

(I'm paraphrasing because I can't remember the exact wording...but that was the jist of it.)

Beautiful. You don't talk to me like that.

[WEAVERMAN]

I don't have the exact quote, but Jimmy said on the 4/13/11 postgame that he doubted Tillman, with what he is currently throwing, had the stuff to pitich on the big leagues.

[TonySoprano]

On Jeter, tied with Bonds at 2,935 hits "He's guilty of obstruction of pitchers."

[The Rick]

A-Rod's check swing in the 5th inning...

Thorne: "They're going to check with Danley, did he swing... No"

Palmer: "Not in New York."

LOL at this. I wasn't sure if I'd heard right

" would have loved to have struck him (ARod) out...but that's not happening."

Hah...he said it again just now.

EDIT: though obviously he listed more outs needed.
