The Birds of Camden Yards vs. the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and Baja California - 10pm/420

I'm a Bordick fan, but am I the only one who thinks his commentary is somewhat...painful?

Haven't really noticed anything other than mispronouncing Callaspo.

I feel Thorne does a good job of covering the amateur announcers though.

[Don Quixote]

Opening K is always nice...all fastballs so far, which I wasn't expecting.

He knows what he's talking about, but you can tell he's uncomfortable. That can only be helped with more experience. When he gave the keys to BMat's success tonight, and then had to give the advertisement information, that just sounded terrible. It was as if someone tapped him on the shoulder and said, here, don't forget to read this.

[Don Quixote]

Well, leave it in the middle like that....

It's not a matter of mispronouncing words, etc., IMO. It's just...he doesn't say very useful things.

Like...Matusz needs to command his pitches to use his pitches? (paraphrase) That made me shudder slightly.

[Jagwar]

Actually, wasn't it a low strike? Looked like good hitting to me.

[Saintbird]

That can't be good for the confidence.

[Floater]

Brian Matusz just needs Rick Vaughn like glasses.

Hah...yes. I'll just hope he gets more comfortable as the season wears on.

New glove for Matusz. He used to have a black Wilson A2000 guy for years. Appears to be a new tan Rawlings glove.

No I'm good with him so far. A bit soft spoken....

[Don Quixote]

S*&^, piss, and damnation.

[Saintbird]

Pretty sure Thorne just said, "The Yankees have a 1-0 lead."

Goodness, Matusz needs help.

[Jagwar]

Now THAT was a fat pitch.

I thought Hunter took it yard when it came off the bat. At least it was only a double
