He's Joe Morgan-stupid with a history of sexual harassment. Safe to say he's got pictures of someone.soxhop411 said:
Reynolds is kind of goofy, but I think this is a better role for him than as an in-studio analyst. More conversational.
I'm fully aware it's an unconventional opinion, AZ.
edit: I think he's waaaaaaaay better than McCarver.

I shook my head at that too. It's still better than the alternative broadcast. They need to show more of the game and fewer stats on that one. The game isn't even half the screen and they keep flipping. The replays beside the live action are entirely distracting as well. Fail.Ed Hillel said:
Buck Martinez, although he's probably more annoying than dumb. Dizzy Dean comes to mind but I think he was playing dumb. Somehow, we hear Harold differently. I think he's terrible.nvalvo said:
I like the alternate broadcast idea. And it's pretty good analysis. Two problems:
1. I hate the split screen and weird angles. And I'm currently watching on an HD widescreen tv, but my tv at home is not a widescreen and probably cuts off part of each picture.
2. The way they're discussing the game, you can't only kind of listen - they're not really doing a play-by-play. It's great if you're totally focused, but not if you're multitasking.
Still, it beats the regular Fox broadcast.

You lose a bit of the excitement of watching the game too. I wouldn't have liked it for the last couple innings of the last two Os/Royals games, but I kind of like flicking back and forth.cwright said:
Hate the fucking song, but retired petty officer Generald Wilson looks like a guy I'd like to have chili and beer with and then go bowling. I bet he has his own shoes.
I was very excited for the alt broadcast, but it is unwatchable. It's like watching a few guys in a bar watching a game. The split screen is terrible, the sound mix takes all the excitement out of the game. I'm glad they tried it, but it needs a ton of work
Not to be picky, but in the poll, a meteor describes something that enters earth's atmosphere and burns up. I want a meteorite, something that will hit both teams.
Right. The question is whether he started a natural pitching motion before he disengaged. From the front it looks like he did, but on the replay from the back, his front foot buckle is virtually simultaneous with the back foot disengaging. After watching a few times, I think Harold was right, but Buck shouted him down. It looked weird, but that doesn't make it a balk. It was damned close. But there was no intent to deceive a runner there. It was second and third. Defensible (non) call.nvalvo said:
Yeah, my initial reaction was that it was an obvious balk, but I think these umps nailed it. We give them shit but they know their stuff. It was a little disappointing that Verducci and Buck were really off base in trying to explain it in the next half inning. There were two movements of the front foot. One when he did his shuffle and one a few seconds before. They were analyzing it by looking at the first movement, or that's what it seemed they were saying. But he hadn't 't come set yet on the first movement.nvalvo said:
In 2 postseason starts this year, Wainwright has pitched 9 innings and thrown exactly 200 pitches.
