Baker to be Baseball Tonight fixture

[Banedon]

I was reading through a couple of old Teddy Greenstein articles I hadn't read, and caught this tidbit from last week...maybe this has been discussed, but I haven't seen it:

 

ESPN formally announced Dusty Baker's hiring as a "Baseball Tonight" analyst. Baker, who essentially replaces Harold Reynolds, will debut March 28 during a Braves-Mets spring training game. As the Tribune's Mark Gonzales reported last month, the two-year deal calls for Baker to provide analysis in studio and via satellite. The former Cubs manager also is slated to work 10 regular-season games, the postseason and the Little League World Series.

Just another reason not to watch that show...

 

I wonder how many Cubs games he'll get though.

Oh I'll be watching it. Dusty's commentary should be pretty good comedy.

Just perfect. Steve Phillips, John Kruk and Dusty on the same set.

No way. In 200 years people at the national archives will crack up listening to those 3 idiots.

 

Over/Under on first time Dusty goes off on a nonsensical, metaphor riddled tangent about fishing or some other such nonsense?

Dusty could be worth watching, in a "for entertainment purposes only" sort of way.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Could they make that show any worse? Somehow they found a way to make baseball highlights unwatchable.

 

Unbelievable.

Can anybody say......"Three Stooges?"

Humor me. That's what that group will do.

[Rob]

Dear god,

 

Make it stop.

 

Amen.

[BigbadB]

Another in a long list of ex-Cubs who can't land a gig in MLB after their stint with the Cubs. :cheers:

I know I'm going to end up watching this even though I may not want to. But hey, at least he's not wearing a Cubs uniform again next year.

I'll take the over then.

How long before the first fishing reference?

[Balsa]

Wow. I'm never watching that show again.

 

It's really gone down the crapper.

[Derwood]

Bernstein would call this "fun-bad"

[Danny82]

Wow. I'm never watching that show again.

 

It's really gone down the crapper.

 

Is it really any different than ESPN in general?

[Mizzou]

I really wish that there was an alternative to Baseball Tonight, because I love seeing the highlights from all the games that day.

[AAApittsburgh]

Expect more Neifi Perez webgems.

It'll have some good moments.................when I'm looking for a laugh
