Approval rating: Dan Plesac

[El Ridda]

Saw this media approval rating idea on Deadspin.com and thought it would be fun to do it for the local folks who cover the cubs. If people like this idea I will post a second poll for another cubs personality. If people do not get into it I will make it go the way of clear Pepsi.

He's a fun loving guy who seems to genuinely like the Cubs. Some of his stuff is weird like his Blue Train thing, and last year when he would try to put jinx's on the opposing pitcher. Seems like something out of Stacey King's book. Overall though I approve.

I'd like him more if he allowed me to either digest everything he is trying to say or let someone else talk. He tends to be a non-stop rambler.

[David]

I approve, even though I didn't like when he thought Kendall should start in the playoffs last year because he was more experienced.

[BigSlick]

Not a fan.

we laughed the other day when before harden's start plesac had 'getting the first batter out' as a key to the game, then followed that up by saying 'preferably by striking him out.'

 

not a k? we're dooooooooooooomed!

Earlier this summer on MJH, Plesac claimed that Marquis had the best stuff on our staff. Mac about had a coronary and I haven't listened to him since

Ha. I thought the exact same thing when I saw that. He is way too goofy for my taste...he is from Gary, which is kind of cool.

That stuff is oddly entertaining even though I typically wouldn't like goofiness from analysts.

 

I think that's the best thing he has going for him. He's okay as an analyst. Some times he has really good points, some times he just uses conventional cliche's. As Ping said he does ramble at times.

[Balsa]

He's a bit of a rambler, but he's goofy enough for me to like.

[Omar]

It seems like he goes on and on without taking a breath... And then he runs out and has to inhale.

 

Always tries to suck up to the Cubs, make things look positive when they're not, etc.

 

Disapprove.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

he's a long-winded dork, but I like the guy

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

I thought Beltin' Bill Melton was going to pummel him into the ground after the series at Wrigley.

[cubman356]

He's a hell of a lot better than having to look at or listen to Dave Otto!!!!!
