Is Martin Short known for his Lenny Bruce vocabulary? I must have missed it watching him for 45 years.

Never saw Martin short do standup, but if he was funny and clean, good for him.

Steve Martin was clean I think, but even though he was very funny in his movies, I didn’t think his standup was very good.

There is definitely a clear difference in approach. What is best? It’s fascinating. Of course, the world  has shifted a bit since Buck’s time.

I loved those Buck bullpens, so I lean to his approach.

But starters are on such a short leash now, even more than they were in the peak Buck years I think.  Maybe it doesn't work any more.

The fact that you don't know who he is is your loss.

So what’s your point?

The comment was about the funniest person ever, and I suggested that Bob Newhart was funnier.

I do think game has changed some. 
 

Hyde is much more aggressive with substitutions as well. Not worried about using all his bench. Extra inning rules may play a role in that.

Was/is Westy the front runner for AL Rookie of the Month for May?
