Open Game Thread: Game 32 - Cleveland Indians at Oakland A's (cont.)
by Tyler Bleszinski on May 5, 2011 1:51 PM PDT
Email
PrintThe A's and Indians are 0-0 and Brett Anderson has really only given up one hard hit ball, that being by Austin Kearns. Just last inning he gave up two hits, both of the infield variety. Course the A's offense is making Jeanmar Gomez look like Felix Hernandez.
Atleticos and Indians tied 0-0 in the fifth. Chat away.
LET'S GO A'S!!!!!!

No, that's just TV.
Radio guys actually talk about the game. TV guys know that you can see the game for yourself so they talk about other ridiculous stuff instead.
Also, there seems to be a presumption that TV watchers are casual fans not very interested in baseball so you have to do other weird shit to keep them entertained, whereas with radio they figure you wouldn’t be listening if you weren’t interested in the game.

In his best Tim McCarver voice:
“As good as the A’s pitching is, thats how bad they’re hitting is.”
"Carter's 25-game hitting streak isn't any normal streak. He's 46 for 97 (.474 average) during the run, adding 16 walks and compiling 81 total bases in the process. I'm out of superlatives for what he's doing." - Kevin Goldstein
How do they pronounce "Jeanmar"
Is it “gene-mar” like English? Or “zhahn-mar” like French? Or “hey-ahn-mar” like Spanish?
I like the French way best.

So I was talking to Sacramento pitching coach Scott Emerson last week...
…and I told him the first minor league games I went to were in Trenton around 1995-96. He pitched there at the time so we talked about a few of the players that had gone through there back then.
I mentioned we interviewed Jeff Suppan on our college radio sports talk show one time and he shared a story about how they were kicking around the idea of doing a spoof of a Grey Poupon commercial where someone would pull up to his car and ask, “Pardon me, but do you have any Jeff Suppan?”
I laughed.
