Re: 8/17 - 8/30 Game Discussion Thread
There's nothing "fake" about a "theory" supported by tons of research done by people far smarter than you or I.
The foundations of WAR are very solid; some of the inputs (particularly related to defense) just need some fine tuning.I write things on the Internet.

Yeah the role is a fool and he's playing himself. Why he's been on commentary for so long is an absolute mystery to me when he has no talent for it at all. Maybe he has incriminating pics of a network executive?Chicago Cubs | Chicago Bulls | Green Bay Packers | Michigan WolverinesComment

At least he has more of a real baseball background than Tom Verducci. How that guy got into a commentary booth i'll never know.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

I can testify that Harold Reynolds is a genuinely nice guy who's very easy to work with. He may or may not believe all the nonsense that comes out of his mouth, but it's clear that he's been encouraged to play up the anti-sabermetric routine. I think people sometimes forget how many casual baseball fans there are out there.Originally posted by Thrash13Dr. Jones was right in stating that. We should have believed him.Originally posted by slickdtcDrJones brings the stinky cheese is what we've all learned from this debacle.Originally posted by Kipnis22yes your fantasy world when your proven wrong about 95% of your postComment

Re: 8/17 - 8/30 Game Discussion Thread
Yup, eons ago when I was a producer for Triple Play/MVP. One of my responsibilities was play-by-play & colour script, so I was there for a lot of speech recordings. Nice guy, funny, had no problem taking direction from a nobody like me. He took me and another EA audio guy on a tour of ESPN's Bristol campus and I got to sit in the Baseball Tonight control room during one of the Mariners/Yankees 2001 ALCS games.Originally posted by Thrash13Dr. Jones was right in stating that.

I have no issues with Harold Reynolds. In terms of idiotic sports announcers and analysts and whatnot, he's *very* low on the scale.Comment

I guess Jessica Mendoza was the first woman to call an MLB game last night.
If I had known or tuned into ESPN for anything these days I would have liked to hear some of the game just to see how she was. Had to be better then Kruk or Schilling or Sutcliffe.Oakland Athletics San Jose Sharks
