High Heat with Chris Russo

[calmunderfire]

This guy has by far the best baseball show that out there. Catch him if you can in the early afternoon on MLB network.

Um... yay?

Russo doesn't do me, sorry. I think he's loud and obnoxious, and I lump him in with a lot of other loud and obnoxious talking heads.

I like people like Peter Gammons, Tim Kurkjian, Ken Rosenthal, Tom Verducci... actual writers who won't jam their opinions down your throat.

What's wrong with being loud? That in of itself is bad?

Just for fun, here's a link from awfulannouncing.com where Gammons undresses Russo:

I don't think it's a good quality, that's my opinion. You don't need to scream at the camera when you're doing television. You don't need a bunch of music playing in the background either. It is largely the fault of the producers that want to grab the attention of channel surfers. Still, they hire people that fit the bill.

Talks straight out of his rear at times, but he is generally good, and funny/enetertaining.

His interview with DD earlier in the year was pretty darn good.

That guy's show may be the worst thing on MLBN, and that's saying something. I listen to MLBN radio and watch MLBN religiously, and I turn either one off whenever his show comes on. I can't stand him. I expected to come here and see other people saying the same thing. The guy is beyond awful.

"Mike Trout is a nice little player but I don't understand the fuss about him. He's not that good."

Yeah, I tune you our pretty quick when your show is basically you dropping idiotic bombs like that left and right at the top of your lungs.
