Stone: Castro should change positions

[SouthSideRyan]

We thought Stone's analysis was sharp because we were young and stupid.

Stone spends half the year within arms' reach of Hawk for a living. He's completely off his rocker.

you guys are forgetting about the third baseman playing with his heels on the grass when a possible bunter is at the plate.

 

In all seriousness I concur; he was pretty sharp in the past as another poster suggested and it wasnt cause we were all younger or more naive about the finer nuances of the game. Even if all he did was explain the obvious thats a heck of a lot better than some other butchers with a mic. Really what more do you want from a broadcaster, song trivia?

 

He is a hack radio guy for reasons I suggested previously and some of his comments in the last 5 years may have clouded our judgement but all in all he was a pretty good broadcaster.

Thank you. Back when all Stone was concerned with was highlighting the nuances of the game from a (former) player's perspective, he was pretty good at his job.

 

Somewhere along the line, though, he jumped the tracks. Whether that was a result of ego, politics, bitterness, shock jock syndrome, or the onset of senility is anyone's guess.
