I don't get it.

that color guy should consider suicide.

[JimSorgi]

I don't get it.

Are you serious?

oh, I didn't have my volume on...stupid me.

[TruffleShuffle]

haha shut up brantley you dumb hick

[Jon]

-"This guy is NOT a clutch hitter. He is not a clutch hitter."

-"His numbers would be contrary to that."

-"He's not a clutch player"

 

Three year splits:

 

Overall - .273/.348/.450/.798

RISP - .317/.405/.500/.905

Runners on - .299/.380/.479/.859

 

His close and late numbers aren't good, but geez, do a little research. And by research I mean looking at the sheet of paper in front of you.

The best bet is to not even bring up the term "clutch" to begin with, at least not until a HR is hit..then you can drop it in as a meaningless cliche, ala Ron Santo.

I used to think Brantley and Brennamen were good announcers till I listened to them do a Reds broadcast. So whiny!

[wade]

Yep, they shoulda pulled Edwin and put Freel in to move the runners over.

[CubinNY]

Jeff "cowboy" Brantly makes people with intellectual disabilities look like geniuses.

 

Thom is a legacy hire, nothing more can be said.

[weis21]

I assume by his statement of "you called it" he meant "exactly opposite of what you predicted"

[Balsa]

Yikes that was awkward.

[rocket]

i like brantley's philosophy that if you can't bunt you shouldn't be allowed to play baseball.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Thom and Brantley might be the worst booth I've ever heard

[Post Count Padder]

Brantley got OWNED.

[Roast]

Brantley got EncarnaciOWNED.

[Post Count Padder]

Brantley got EncarnaciOWNED.

I like this better. Good call.

I'm surprised these guys haven't gotten fired yet with how much they rip into Reds players (mainly Dunn). I'm all for announcers pointing out player's mistakes and weaknesses, but when player's parents won't watch because you're calling the game maybe you've gone too far.

[CubsGM]

I can't wait until Kent Mercker goes after them and gets them fired

[reds44]

Jeff Brantley is a piece of (crap).

 

Edwin Encarnacion 2007 with RISP: .360 BA

Career: .309 BA

 

He's been the Reds most clutch player since he was called up. The best part is when that stupid redneck is going on and they show his RISP stats from last year. Thom pretty much owned him.

 

I've never seen a player get as much (crap) in Cincinnati for doing so little wrong than Edwin does. It's amazing.

 

Thank you Edwin for making "the Cowboy" look like the moron he is.

 

Shut up, Jeff.

[reds44]

Thom and Brantley might be the worst booth I've ever heard

Thom is alright, Brantley is terrible.

 

I thought Thom was going to throw Brantley's ass out of the booth.

[rocket]

the reds should really just fire brantley. he offers nothing to the broadcast, and when he's doing radio and he's doing the play-by-play, it's probably the worst thing you've ever heard in your life.

So true.

[CubsGM]

Thom is a good announcer and I don't mind him although I like him for football better than baseball.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

I haven't liked Thom since the 2003 playoffs.
