      LOL!
      I heard that comment at some points, too, prior to that he is saying that the team has made all the little things you have to do in baseball.

        Cool? Yup.


        But here is the problem with that, they will continue to say it in 2013.

        "Young McCann."

        "Young Zimmerman."

        "Swisher had a down year."

        They need to have the commentary be slightly more dynamic as a franchise progresses.

          I had runners on second and third with no outs, so I put the controller down to get something to drink and when I did this is pressed the L2/R2 buttons and when i picked up the controller the runners took off so I just swong and tryed to make contact. I fouled it off and here the runner on third was like putting his has up as ts to say to the batter "what are you trying to do, kill me?" and the announcer was all like their must of been a mix up in signs.
          "I wanna walk down the street and people say," "There goes Roy Hobbs, the best to ever play the game."

            I think it's cool if youre playing on a real windy day and you hit a lazy fly ball and the outfielder keeps going back and back and back and then it barely lands over the wall. I love that!!

              Josh Hamilton comes to bat for me, 20 games into the season and Campbell says, "Hamilton leads the league in hitting starting the day". Thought that was pretty sweet.

                I know it's been said, but I'll say it again----

                I love how the fans exit early in blowouts!!!!
                Case in point-----Indians (me) were losing 7-0 going into the eighth inning. Empty seats were everywhere, whereas at the start of the game they were packed.

                Awesome!!!!!

The runner is talking to the third base coach then quickly sees that Lowell has the ball and hurrys back to the bag. I couldn't believe it. AWESOME!!!
                    I witnessed the hidden ball trick too playing as the Yanks. I could have sworn that the 3rd base coach PUSHED my base-runner back to the bag when he figured out what was going on......which is illegal. Has anyone else seen this???

                      I heard a lady yell "Noonan" on a pop-up in the infield to try and distract the guy as he was about to catch the ball.

                        One thing that I have noticed that is said over and over is when a team is bad like Washington and Campbell says this guy really needs to get going to turn this team around. I find it stupid that he says this and the team is like 25 game below .500.


                        Another thing that bugs me is Campbell says when I am losing the team will go two game below .500 even though I am 25 games over .500. He also aay the same thig when I am winning, this needs to be fixed

                          I saw a batter let the bat fly into the stands on a swinging strike for the first time yesterday....I'm about 120 games in. Cool to still be seeing new things.

                            I really would like to see that one, eventually. Seems really cool.

                              God I keep loving this game more and more. Bought a ps3 just for it and I do not regret it. I was playing my career earlier and I was batting, I think the count went to 1 - 2. And then it just cuts away to one of the fielders having to grab a beach ball off the field then throw it back, Then it went back to my guy back in the box. I love how it happened during and not before.

                                I jacked a home run with Ryan Braun at Miller Park and Matt Vasgersian did a Bob Uecker impersonation, saying "Get up, get outta here, gone!" It's the first time I heard Vasgersian do that and that's what makes it so cool ... it would get stale if he did it every other home run.
