I’m not downplay who he is, I know exactly who he is. I watched him swim, and points to you for using the word obtuse.
But my point stands. It’s a baseball game. I don’t want interviews with gold medalists during a baseball game that’s not the time for it. I don’t care if you’ve got Mark Spitz there these guys are supposed to be talking about the game on the field and things pertaining to the game on the field. I’m no less annoyed when they’re talking about the hotdogs in the local park. 

Everything about these broadcasts is dreadful. From the camera work to the commentary to the homerism to the voices. But the easiest thing to fix is just to get rid of the stupid endgame interviews if you want to talk to Michael Phelps or Joan Jett or the latest sports celebrity, do it after the game or before the game, and not during the game.

I hate in-game interviews too, pretty much no matter who it is, but that wasn't even close to the worst interview they've done in just this series. How about the lego kid?

Good to see Coby back to trying to hit outside pitches off the left field foul pole.

Agree 100%.  I hate all the interviews and crap.  I know some love it and whatever.  But I watch/listen to a baseball game to watch/listen to a baseball game.  If I cared about Michael Phelps opinions/thoughts on anything, I'm sure I can find an interview or podcast about him.  I don't need my game watching interrupted with it.  Doesn't really matter to me if it's a feel good local story, a famous old rocker or one of the greatest Olympians of all time, I'd rather my broadcast not have it included as it ruins the flow of the game for me.  But I know it's not going to change/end, but I can continue to rant at it.

He'll struggle, but his talent will eventually win out..I love his swing..its quick and long...lots of power when he connects...and he WILL.

Ryan O'Hearn as a defensive replacement...who ever imagined that happening!??!?!   

[Moose Milligan]

Ugh. Oh well, nothing you can do on that. 

[mrbig1]

Well, that suck.

[Wavetrapper]

Damn, what a way to lose the PG. At least Hyde can take Eflin out now

McCann should be the everyday catcher

At this point I’m good with a 50/50 split until Adley starts hitting again
