Yeah, about that.....
why would I bother wasting time looking at the padres' rotation?F it. I'm bringing out the lose gif already.
You seriously haven't looked at the Padres starting rotation?
Chacin
Clayton Richard
Trevor Cahill
Jered Weaver
Luis Perdomo
Let that sink in.
they are an NL team so in general I don't care much about them. and they aren't in the met's division whom I have decided to root for this season lol.
The double-play giveth and the double-play taketh away

You really prefer Pat 'Big Hands' Tabler and Buck 'HIGH AND DEEP' Martinez?
They're both clowns, and every time Shulman comes on, he schools them on how to actually call a game.

Fucking Bautista........

Yeah. Buck and Pat are just unbelievably bad at their job.
They never add anything to the broadcast, and they talk about the same thing. EVERY. FUCKING. TIME.
Today for example, I've had to hear about how Pillar is such a better hitter because he took 6 walks in spring training. And this is during every time he's at the plate.

The Britton sinker is one of the hardest pitches in baseball to hit.

Buck is fine as a Colour guy, would love to see them reunite Shulman and him full time again.

The thing is, not every commentator can be Vin Scully.
But for the love of god, actually get someone who knows somewhat how to call a game. Buck and Pat were only hired because they can be molded into Rogers patsies. As Prohibited said, every time they speak it's the same inane bullshit that any baseball fan that hasn't been born yesterday can see with their own two eyes.
You want a good commentary crew? Look at the guys for the Mets, or the crew that does the Giants. They know how to call a game so you handwave or even enjoy when they start to shoot the shit to pass the time.
At this point, Joe Buck would be a infinitely better upgrade then Buck and Tabby, though I am GAF's resident Buck defender, so take that with a pinch (or bag) of salt.

Gary Thorne the GOAT.

See, Gary Thorne is also good.
When you compare Buck and Tabby to the best broadcasting crews in the league, it goes to show just how painfully out of the water they are.

No hits since the 2nd. This is the Orioles I hate. It really is feast or famine offensively.
they can repeat this against clayton richard, for sure.
It's so weird hearing Buck Martinez doing Jays broadcasts as a play by play guy when he used to be the O's secondary color guy.
Silver Arrows
Banned
Yeah, Buck definitely shines more as a color guy then the lead. That I will concede.
Exactly, but he was manager of the Jays for a good while in the dog days of the franchise, so he probably won't be leaving any time soon.

Wtf Google. Not only is it way behind, but it was never this score.

He was only the manager for a year and a bit. And boy, did he suck at it.
But he also used to commentate with Shulman back in the 90's, as colour, before he got the manager job.

Yeah it was doing this to me as well. Weird one.
he can hit and makes a decent backup catcher, as well as a 5th outfielder.

Actually, now that I think about it:
Is there any blackouts for radio broadcasts via the MLB At Bat app?

No worse than rule 5 pick Allen Cordoba who hasn't played above rookie ball sticking on the 25man. Padres don't care
(happy for Cordoba though, he gets to make 500k if he sticks. any 21yo in Rookie ball was unlikely to ever make the majors anyway)

Anyone outside the division and I won't be mad.
it's the insane way they put the roster together, really.
the other 3 catchers, the 3 rule V guys, only 3 outfielders.
