chasfh Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 I just feel like the longer it goes without any news, the worse the news is going to be when we do hear it. I hope my feeling is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobrob2004 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Are we not going to talk about Jack Morris' ignorant comment? Remember last year when he was suspended for using an insensitive accent while Shohei Ohtani was batting? Why is Jack Morris still here?

oblong Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I also saw a reference where Jack said Miggy was "building" case for the HOF... implying he wouldn't be one yet if he retired right now. Jack has high standards for the HOF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I'm glad they avoided something major.. supposedly but even if it's something minor its going to take me a while to not be worried something disastrous is going to happen every time he throws a pitch.

Manning missed the goldilocks point I guess. That risk is always bad enough for young guys who haven't been through it as many times - then no doubt doubled by the short ST.

Of the four guys they have on rotation in that color analyst role, C-Mo is probably the best of the bunch (he's improved a lot over the past year IMO), but it sounds like he'll be doing a lot of road work with DD this season. If Bally were interested in the quality of the product, maybe they'd go out and kick the tires on a few former Tigers with some color experience like Sean Casey or Austin Jackson and see if they'd be interested in doing color, but aside from that, we're probably stuck with with Jack....

If Craig Monroe becomes the permanent analyst on radio with Dan, I think it’ll take the quality of the broadcast down at least a full notch. C-Mo is still in clubhouse mode, maybe for good.

They don't seem to be doing any serious broadcast prep - they just show up and talk about themselves. The only time Jack seems to know anything about the other team is when we play the Twins..... Here they were faced with a really boring game and the best story of week was probably around Aroldis Chapman's crazy couple of days, which could have been some good filler. MIA.

RatkoVarda Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Jack's shtick is "grumpy old man who grumbles about new fangled stuff" It's annoying, but he does not offer much else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had they even watched BBTN? Well, sure he just shows up and talks about himself. You don’t tell a Hall of Famer what to do. I will grant that C-Mo is the best of the bunch, although that’s a bit like saying Akil Baddoo is your team’s best hitter—it doesn’t mean so much on a team that generally can’t hit. My specific issue with C-Mo is he talks like he’s still in the clubhouse, using clubhouse nicknames for the players, which makes me roll my eyes; he’s a “let’s go, boys!” rooter behind the mic, which makes me roll my eyes; and he’s basically a PR manager for the players, spinning anything that’s suboptimal into bland positives because hey, he’s gotta see those guys the next day.

Monroe is not great either, but I don't think he takes anything away from the broadcast, at least not yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
