Howie Rose is the best radio guy, IMO. Love him to death, calls the best games.

Then it's gotta just be precautionary tightness or something.

Hopefully he didn't pull it.

Probably over extended himself when going from 2 to 3.

 

[BigJonsson]

Yeah, I tried out the Jays radio guys too, zero excitement in their voices for another. I like announcers who can express excitement on big plays irregardless of what team does what.

Jerry Howarth is amazing, he just doesn't go overboard

Josh Lewin has been cool since he joined the radio crew too. For me no one ever beats Gary/Keith/Ron when it comes to TV commentary, Gary seems to know so much for a play-by-play guy and Ron/Keith give genuine, great analysis. They're also really comfortable with each other and have some nice, sometimes off topic talk.

I hate everything about the Yankees, but I actually feel bad for them when it comes to their TV/radio commentary teams. Such a joke

Met fans have been spoiled with terrific announcing since their inception.

 

[Frozenprince]

Jake has his command back.

 

[lazybones18]

Jake getting his groove back. Now to punish Wacha

2 game 5s in Wednesday. Shall be fun and...so many tears will be shed.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Damn, no love for those birds?

I think they're going to win game 5. But Toronto fan focuses so much more on the negatives/probability of losing than being happy with the wins. It's an amazing psychological trait.

 

[Rock And Roll]

Pat Hughes is awesome. Coomer is ok.

Tried listening to the Jay's radio guys the other day and it was pretty bad.

The Jays announcers are terrible. I've heard a lot of people say "I miss Buck and Pat". I don't understand why. I hate Harold Reynolds, but I don't want to listen to those 2 call a game either.

I love them because of how irreverent they get.

Like in 2010 or so, during one of the dark years, we were losing 14-2 to the Braves at their house, so the three of them got bored as hell and just ordered Taco's for the booth and spent the next hour + talking about Tacos. The line I remember is:

"It's the 7th inning, the Braves are winning, and we've got Tacos, back for more after this"

Love it.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Lol best crews in baseball

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

This wind is pretty ridiculous

Thank god Heyward is awesome

22 years of crappy/mediocre baseball does that to a fan.

Yeah lol I'm pretty sure they've ordered food from the booth a few times this year too

I love when they do the competitions and the winner comes in the booth for an inning. I remember that Indian kid once who equated striking someone out to making a sandwich, I think Boomer and Carton still use the soundbite to this day.

Also who can forget this from earlier this year

Keith during that 18 inning Cards game >>>>>>

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Gibbons justifying this reminds me of Pete Carroll justifying that SB play.
Nevertheless he is right we won.

 

[zroid]

Bryant, my goodness

 

[lazybones18]

KRIS FUCKING BRYANT BITCHES

 

[brianjones]

damn Cubs are scary

all these big hits from young guys..

 

[Frozenprince]

KRIS BRYANT DOE.

He crushed that thing.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Letting Wacha die on the mound for the second postseason in a row. Good job, Matheny.

 

[Beatofficer]

Bryant is a beast. Whoever said Wacha wasn't going to make it out of the 5th gets a whole package of cookies.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Yo KB

 

[Hopfrog]

Chi-town rocking right now.

There's that and Horrible years of Leafs Hockey.

Thank God I'm a Habs Fan.. Well I can't say we had good years either.

 

[Rock And Roll]

KB spanks one. It is LOUD at Wrigley.

 

[Alex Stroud]

Motherfucking Bryant!

 

[Frozenprince]

Baez is gonna get one, just watch.

 

[zroid]

Jerry Howarth is amazing, he just doesn't go overboard

I love the way he calls a game. But the moment he starts sharing his opinions it's evident hes a total fucking clown (eg: Tulo should play 1st base next year). Unfortunately. He's also an asshole IRL from what I've heard.

 

[Parch]

Gibby's explanation is just awkward. mumble, team win, mumble, lefties, mumble, method to the madness. Can we talk about the hitting now? Can I leave now?

Bench coaches need to do a better job at talking some sense into this guy instead of letting him panic.

 

[DrForester]

BOOM!

 

[BFIB]

I'll take a close game, just got to get Arrieta out of this game.

He looks like the type of guy who has a funky odour.

RIZZZZZ

 

[Frozenprince]

ALL THE HOME RUNS.

 

[bebop242]

YES YES YES YES YYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!

 

[timetokill]

KABOOM

 

[Loco4Coco]

Wind blowing out?

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Well, then. Time to prepare for Game 4.

 

[Hopfrog]

IT"S A TATERFEST AT WRIGLEY!

 

[lazybones18]

Yes, YES!

 

[MultiJhonny]

back to back yacks

 

[zroid]

Satan is slain

 

[J2 Cool]

Rizzo's swing and miss was a huge swing, could see he wanted one. Damn.

 

[Rock And Roll]

Had a feeling Rizky business would go deep. That was crushed.

 

[CygnusXS]

BTW, I should eat my crow for not thinking the Cubs were going to be good enough to make the playoffs this year.
