Exhaust the opposition by having them constantly round the bases.
They will wither in subsequent games.
It’s 4D tic tac toe.

Booth jinxed the fuck out of Hader right before the HR
Also, Hader with the short hair looks a decent bit like a young Layne Staley

If you really want to punish yourself, it’s Ford and Eschenfelder on the radio call.
As awful as Esch is on tv he’s 1000x worse on the radio.

He’s unlistenable, thus I shall not listen
Hader is so good. For some reason if he gives up a hit, it is likely a home run.

I listened to the final few innings on the radio last night. It’s hard to put my finger on just why he’s so bad, but he’s terrible. As a contrast, I can tell you exactly why Dave Raymond is terrible.

I remember Brett Dolan bothering me even more than Dave Raymond. Boy, those were the darkest days…

Let’s bring in a couple of minor league announcers with absolutely zero experience calling MLB games. And pair them together!!!

I couldn’t tell you at all what Brett Dolan sounded like. Unfortunately, I know what Raymond does.
He has this incredibly annoying habit of saying an entire sentence, pausing a beat, then continuing his thought, and it makes Ford trip every time.
It’s so fucking annoying.
Also, he says the most basic shit like he’s explaining the plot of a Dan Brown book.
As a recall it, Dolan sounds like Kermit the Frog when he gets excited.
But that could also be Raymond.
Fuck those really were dark times. Fuckin’ DoRay.

Weren’t they both Cubfan? Minor League announcers at least? With no connection to or knowledge of the team or the city?
Too apathetic to bother asking AI? I am too.
It was worse than that. They put both of those idiots with Milo.
That was for home games. They worek as a duo on the road.
Raymond: Iowa Cubs announcer with fill in action for SF in '03 and Baltimore in '05
Dolan: Tuscon Sidewinders and Iowa Cubs
@chuck, I thankfully had totally forgotten that they crammed them both into the booth with Milo in 2006
Hard to say which was worse.
