I like Blummer fine. He’s gotten a lot better over the years. As for his home run in the World Series, I don’t hold that against him.
He is far and away the most enjoyable former-player-color-guy in the game (post JD version). He always highlights the fun in the game and isn’t at all a “back in my day” which most of the nation’s local color guys cannot help embracing.
Holy sweet fuck this HPU is terrible.
It’s like after the fourth unsuccessful challenge he snuck off and snorted a gram of coke. Totally unhinged.
Through five…1-0 Astros
Hunter’s ramping up the swing and miss. I’m not sure how he can squeeze two more innings in, but he’s trending in that direction.
Yeah, he always seemed to be a laid back, easy going kind of guy. Was an ok player but was popular with the fans. He was really stiff his first year or two in the booth, but he’s loosened up.
I am hearing some wild things about the umpiring mood in the MLB.
I think JD was an anomaly. Blum is as good as it gets these days.
Astros go down weakly again
1-0 still
We’re totally spoiled with the whole crew of TK, Blum and Julia. Like a lot of us I watch a bunch of mlb.tv from around the country, and while there are plenty of individuals and discrete announcing teams I enjoy a great deal, no other broadcast has the complete package that we get to enjoy.
Kalas grates on my nerves at times, but yeah, as a whole they got a good team.
I don’t think it’s really close
Yeah. Pop up city.
Leadoff single.
Hope Joe has a leash on Brown, don’t like that lead-off single
Yeah, no swing and misses since my over-exuberant comment.
Pull Brown now.
Now an E4
Mother fucker. Gotta catch that, Jose, even if it was a bad feed.
