It was good seeing Manny Banuelos yesterday. He threw a clean inning with mostly fastballs in the 93-94 mph range.

Stanton playing the outfield already. Good. Where he belongs. Let him be fun while he lasts. If you buy a balsa wood airplane you don’t just let it sit on a shelf. You throw it. You loop the loop with it. You set distance records when the wind is at your back. You get a Tim Locastro plane to play the latest innings, run for it. But you have to use it. If it breaks, you get another one… while it sits on the shelf. But at least you used it… |

From what I saw, Taillon looked pretty sharp for what that's worth at this time of year. Stanton looked strong. In the booth, Cameron Maybin needs some work, although it's very unfair to judge him after one game. He comes across as a nice guy, very earnest, but he offered few serious insights and can be difficult to understand at times because he rushes his delivery. But there is plenty of time to work on that, and you want to pull for him.

Swamped with work here so I wasn't able to watch but I was curious about how Maybin would do in the booth. Good to hear that Taillon looked sharp and that Stanton is already hammering the ball! |

Richie Ashburn became one of my all-time favorite color analysts when he worked for the Phillies from 1963-1997. But when he began, he was embarrassingly awful. Some broadcasters, especially ex-athletes, need time to find their niche. I don't know where Maybin will fit -- and for all I know, some listeners might have thought he was great, to each his own -- but as someone with radio experience, I would never judge anyone on how they do early on. They can't all be Ken Singleton right out of the box. |

I've mentioned it before on here Kaybli. I had an oldies show in Santa Fe back in the 1980s. Strictly low rent. Most fun I've ever had.
It wasn't getting picked up for syndication, that's for sure.🤣

This spring is a little different for Yankees’ Nestor Cortes.

The station long ago ceased to exist -- not my fault, I swear -- well in reality there is still a station on that frequency, but the call letters and format changed decades ago. I used to have some cassettes of the show (primitive times), but they stopped being usable within a few years. For me it was the proverbial kid in a candy shop -- I used my own records because my collection was bigger than the station's, plus I took the format in a different direction, playing more R&B and rare songs than the rest of DJs who stuck to the boring standard oldies format. I was just a Saturday guy -- I did have a real job, after all, this was a joyride -- but station management let me do whatever I wanted. I ran my own board, shamelessly plugged advertisers who were generous to me (payola), even shut down the transmitter at the end of my shift. I could occasionally get artists who were appearing in either Santa Fe or Albuquerque to come on, either in studio or on the phone. Most of them were not performers many people today would know about or care about, but it was Heaven for me. I know I said this on here before, I became lifelong friends with one of them, a guy named Hank Ballard who wrote and performed the original of "The Twist." Only hardcore early R&B enthusiasts would know of him today -- even then, none of the other jocks were interested in having him on because they knew nothing about him. To me it was the equivalent of maybe going to a ballgame with Paul O'Neill or David Cone. I made my wife promise not to listen for the first month. And my very first show, when my intro was over and it was just me alone in front of a live mic, was probably the most nervous I have ever been. But after my second show I was having so much fun that I told her it was okay!! |
