Tedd_Not_Ed posted:I still think that maybe not a SABRmetric themed broadcast but at the very least a stat themed broadcast for fantasy baseball or even the layman could be done, but these visuals I think need to be handled better, so I thought it over and came up with a crude redesign, granted it would still need a lot of work, but it might be better than the current one: The one thing I've noticed missing about every broadcast ever that's on every ballpark scoreboard is the upcoming lineups for both teams, and I think that's something that could have great value on a broadcast like this, especially in the postseason with matchups and the relatively high frequency of substitution. While Buck's been pretty consistent with the O's lineup, I don't really know any of the other teams' well enough to know in advance who's coming up next and it might get a passing mention from the commentators but if you're going to devote screen space to showing information then that's a pretty good piece of information to put up. If you wanted to delve into win probabilities and stuff like that you could pull up the upcoming batters vs. the current pitcher and the pitcher warming up in the bullpen. I know we all like to backseat manage around here but it would be great to just have that information up on screen to have something to back up the "pulling McPitcher at this point was a good/bad decision" discussions.

Northjayhawk posted:Rex Hudler on TV is Denny's evil bizarro-world twin in that he's an excited goofy clown. You're right, Hud and Matthews have the same absolute value. It's just that Denny is good at his job. It is probably because I grew up listening to him, but I adore Denny Matthews as a commentator. Like, about the only guy I would trade him for would be Vin. That isn't to say I don't understand the criticism. But I think part of it is almost a The Birthmark thing. I think Denny is so close to a perfect play by play guy this tiny blemish becomes only thing you can notice. I mean, I love how calm he is. His voice is soothing. But it isn't like Buck where he sounds disinterested. He's like a wise old narrator, and it's great.

The MLBN broadcasts had a graphic showing the position of the fielders which I thought was neat.

After the Royals beat Baltimore 6-4 to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven ALCS, Dyson was asked by Kansas City Star writer Andy McCullough if he expects the series to return to Camden Yards for a sixth game. "No sir, I don't," Dyson said, "and I don't think [the Orioles] think that either."

It's funny how when someone on a team you are rooting for does that, it is hilarious, but when someone on a team you are rooting against does it, they are loving douchebags. Meaning, that was loving hilarious, go Royals.

I do sort of wish the Royals wouldn't let their mouths write checks they may not be able to cash, but if they do want to brag a little, there's probably not a team in the postseason more entitled to do it.

FairGame posted:Would AJP leading the cards to the WS at age 38 be the most obnoxious thing he's done? ... I don't know, but you have to admit, it's be a good story for him. One day, he's kicked off the Red Sox. "You're a lovely teammate, everyone hates you, so your career ends with you being fired." Later, Yadi goes down, and the Cards need a catcher who's better than Cruz. And AJ is available. If the Cardinals win the World Series, he'll have the most improbably cool story to tell about how his major league career ended.

Here's Grant Brisbee's take on the Cardinals mashing the "curtain call" button:quote:The gauntlet's been thrown. Cardinals fans demand a curtain call after third-inning home runs. The arms race is on. Giants fans, get together and work your magic. Demand two curtain calls.
