2014 Postseason

[Guest]

Most bad announcers I just want to mute but Harold is on his own level of dumb and I listen to him just for the ridiculous stuff he says.

[Sammys Boombox]

Who would you rather have: Tim McCarver or Harold Reynolds? Who would Joe Buck rather have?

Early reports are that the overnight TV rating for Game 1 was the lowest in World Series history: An 8.0.

Kind of expected that. Giants are a west coast team and boring, and Kansas City is a tiny market. Although their story is great, they don't have a lot of household names, and I think the 'irrelevant for 30 years' story actually works against them for the casual fan. The 5 day break between the LCS and WS didn't help in terms of momentum either.

The break is just ridiculous. Yeah, I get the reasons, but it still kills things. You've gotta dodge football, but man, it's hard to keep people hooked when it's almost a week off.

[NOLA]

Ok. I'll admit that I was wrong last night about Harold Reynolds. He just said we should start seeing Pablo Sandoval as a modern day Reggie Jackson. No kidding.

 

Maybe years of Tim McCarver have lowered the bar.

I'm sick of that Marlins dude behind the plate at every big game.

If you haven't read the article about him he literally did not get married and have kids so he could go to all the big sports games. It's annoying, but he's a nice guy. He gives random families really good seats to huge games.

Blowout, long layoff, one would think that FOX execs are more upset than the KC fans. However ...

 

@ MLB_PR Despite blowout, #WorldSeries Game 1 propels FOX to dominant primetime win & its best Tues night of primetime since Feb 2012.

Live sports.

.328/.373/.550, .390 wOBA, 153 wRC+

 

.278/.358/.527, .392 wOBA, 152 wRC+

 

One of those is Reggie Jackson's postseason line and the other is Panda's...

 

Harold says plenty of dumb [expletive] but that wasn't one of those times.

[Guest]

Small sample but that's 5 HRs allowed by Strickland in the playoffs.

[Sammys Boombox]

It's going to be awesome when opposing pitchers get their feelings hurt because Javy is showboating around the bases after a Bryant bomb in the World Series.

[Guest]

TIL Hunter Strickland is a lunatic

[bukie]

Yes, I'm sure he's not married simply because he couldn't be tied down.

[Cubswin11]

Harold just said he truly believes the Royals wouldn't be here today if they didn't trade for Davis and Shields, well no [expletive] [expletive].

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Yes, I'm sure he's not married simply because he couldn't be tied down.

 

He's got a lot of money. He'd get it done if he wanted.

[hawkeyecub]

A guy that has 6 figures to blow on travel and tickets to events? Yeah it probably is.

[wvcbxl]

Maybe he's got a lot of money because he doesn't want to :wink:

[Coach C]

I'd also throw in Cain and Escobar as well. Their defense is legit.

[Guest]

Did the cameras just catch Hudson lining his hat with something right after the interview with his wife ended?

[Guest]

Combined 19 straight set down by both teams.

[Sammys Boombox]

And this right here is why Yost (who is usually a decent manager) gets absolutely roasted on a regular basis. Davis should be pitching the 7th anyway, not Herrera. Dyson could steal a base and Butler could hit him in. Dumb.

[Sammys Boombox]

Also loved Harold Reynolds say you don't steal Dyson here because then Herrera will be leading off next inning...

[ctcf]

Could you imagine this [expletive] board if Ned Yost was the Cubs manager?
