At least Nolan got the ball out of the infield in the air that time. Maybe he's heating up!!!!!

Manfra is the worst radio play by play guy ever. And it seems like they give him more innings than Joe, one of the very best. :angryfire:

I think John Sterling would give him a run for his money.

Wow, that was a blunt conversation about Reynolds and the O's from the booth... good stuff.

Agreed - and Buck set the tone there with his interview. Didn't have great things to say about Davis either to be honest. I thought the whole sequence there was well done, and a little surprising.

I was in the car during his Adam Jones pre-Home Run call, classic.

[El Gordo]

Is it just me or is Granderson playing very shallow?Reimold looks like he is hitting the ball with a wet newspaper.

I don't think he has squared one up yet this season. Bloops and dribbles.

Yep, and it stinks because he has a good voice and is a nice guy and a Bawlmer lifer; but he just can't hack it with play-by-play.

What was the gist?

[Orioles0615]

Ok...once and for all...it's around the 12:00 mark.

Haha ill check again

He did TV a year or so, he is better suited for it.

Sterling is annoying because he loves the Yankees. Manfra gets excited way too easily and goes into excruciating detail about a play before telling you what happens.

e.g. "There's a ground ball up the middle, Andino gloves it (at this point the runner is out at 1st), does a nice little spin move, keeping his balance and tosses the ball over to Davis at 1st for out number 1."

Fred does 3-4 & 6-7, Joe 1,2,5,8,9

Seeing Ayala warming up....man, our pitching is already so much better than previous years. It's nice to not fear the bullpen so much.

My biggest frustration with him is he is behind the action too much, you hear the crowd which tells you what happened before he does.

Yup...I was actually being pretty nice about how much detail he goes into. There's probably an extra 10 seconds of dialogue that I left out.
