Vin Scully, "Ted gave up 6 runs to Colorado but the Dodgers won 11-5"... Even he understands Jamey Wright's Negative Runs.
A long time ago when I first started doing this, Mr. (Vin) Scully told me that if you really want to learn how to broadcast, then you need to learn how to broadcast in a losing season... I learned for five years in Milwaukee. And there was that (frustration), and I understand that because I care like them. Maybe I see something on the field that frustrates me, much like they may hear something or dislike the way something that's presented that frustrates them. I think that kind of heart and passion is great. All I want is for fans to watch and to care about this team and this organization. Last year they started watching more and more - because of the team. Now, when they come, the way we do our jobs, we try to be two guys sitting with their buddies watching a baseball game - with a whole bunch of research and insight, but that's kind of our style. Call it campy, call it comfortable, call it whatever you want, but that's kind of the way I've always tried to do things. Here is that THAT is: That is Darren Sutton explaining why he broadcasts the way he does. I am surprised he has actually listened to Vin. It seems they are opposing forces.
I know it's difficult to not blame a drubbing (so far) on the AAA team out there...but it's Ted "The Veteran " Lilly who is stinking the place up, IMO. Not the kids. Saunders is pitching well, but I think they'll get to him a bit eventually. it's Ted and suckitude. BTW...Geena who?
It took Abreu an hour to get to that ball. You have to be a fat-ass to not get an in-the-park HR on that hit.
