Thanks. I don't mind him as a studio announcer. I'm not used to him doing play by play. He also does NBA games for ESPN. He's still a young guy. I had to check the guide to make sure it wasn't the Royal's broadcast team... One thing about young announcers...not even young, NEW or inexperienced announcers...they can improve. When Ken Singleton got the job as a Sportscaster in Baltimore many years ago, I thought he'd never cut it. He never had, and still doesn't have the "classic voice" for announcing, but he improved immensely...I think he may have filled in doing the weather a few times, too...He was horrible at the time, but his popularity in Baltimore carried him past that and worked hard at it... The two worst ex-Orioles doing the games? Jim Palmer (still horrible) and Brooks Robinson...The twang combined with mispronunciations were unbearable, though a bit comical at times...

He's becoming a gold glove caliber RF. One thing I've noticed is that once the ball gets by him he never seems to rush. He just takes his time, gets his feet set and WHAM! I wonder if it would be better if he rushed once in a while and got the throw off a bit quicker, more like Gardner???

I don't think having only 6 innings played over a 4 day span helped much.

I forgot they also literally had to sleep in the airport cause their flight was cancelled I'm sure that doesn't help either.
Kinda surprised they didn't just use a bus at that point if they knew the flight would be cancelled for hours and hours I think its about a 15 hour drive.

Or at least bus to a city with some nice hotels.

Yea I mean hell sleeping uncomfortable for a normal person is bad enough can make you feel out of whack for days now for a baseball player who already has aches and pains even worse. Like you said if they just went even an hour outside of the dc area I’m sure they find suitable hotels.
