Blue Jays GDT: (2016 v24) Next: @ NYY| Tues, Sept 6| 7pmET/4pmPT | Sanchez vs Cessa

[The Nemesis]

My favourite is when he complements them by calling them baseball players. "There are a lot of baseball players on the field today"

Holy **** Buck, had no idea!

That's on there for a drink.

And yeah, it's a good thing that Buck is pointing out who's a baseball player. Because I was sure that Bautista was a professional shot-putter and Tulowitzki was actually a competitive jai alai player.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Jiminez getting that outside borderline strike but not Happ I see...

Don't be silly. Tulowitzki looks like a ball player

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Yea this ump is worse than yesterday, at least yesterday he was consistent with both teams.

 

[The Nemesis]

Don't be silly. Tulowitzki looks like a ball player

Nah.

You don't see the resemblance?

 

[The Nemesis]

**** yeah, Pat! You know what really revitalizes a commercial/shopping district? A warehouse.

He's the best for all the wrong reasons except his Blue Jays Homerness.

I hope we never get rid of him because everything else *cough* Harold Reynolds *cough* is just the worst...

 

[Discoverer]

My favourite Buck moments are when he has a "Wins matter!" rant and a "Pitcher X only had so few wins because of the team he played on" rant in the same game.

 

[Slot]

So who would make it past the second inning in the buxket Martinez drinking game?

Reminds me of the star wars drinking game... Take a drink every time Luke whines.... Done after 20 minutes and he doesn't make an appearance until ten minutes in..

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Alvarez in the 2 spot? I don't mind

My dream Jays tv combo would be Shulman full time and promoting radio color guy Joe Siddall to the TV gig.

 

[Daisy Jane]

how do you confuse BAUTISTA and SAUNDERS?!

*drink*

 

[Daisy Jane]

i wonder if that's the case? easing more shulman, and then bye bye Buck.

 

[Morgs]

Asked a question he knew the answer to. Drink

Edit: how's this not a drink?!?

 

[Muston Atthews]

If Happ was getting the same outside pitch as Jiminez that wouldn't have happened.

Ayyyy Happ

 

[The Nemesis]

My favourite Buck moments are when he has a "Wins matter!" rant and a "Pitcher X only had so few wins because of the team he played on" rant in the same game.

Yeah, he did that a couple of games ago and it mystified me that he couldn't see how those two rants couldn't possibly co-exist. He did it about Dave Stieb. You can tell Stieb was great because he racked up so many wins. But he was a victim of being on some bad teams so he didn't get as many wins as he should've.

 

[Acoustic]

Trumbo wow. Looked terrible.

Hard to disagree with that. Most importantly, though, just get Shulman in there full time.

 

[The Nemesis]

Sadly, no. Shulman gets tons of work from ESPN. Him being a part-timer is more about working around his US broadcasting schedule and giving him some extra gigs during the slower US sports season (no football, no basketball) than it is about easing him into a bigger Jays role.

Lots of people seem to like Buck. I guess because he's kinda folksy and old school. He's like that old uncle that you enjoy when you see him once a year at the family reunion, but who makes you cringe and realize why you only like seeing him once a year when he comes to visit for a week.

 

[Acoustic]

Don't like Martin in that 4th spot.

 

[The Nemesis]

The other positive would be that maybe Zaun becomes the radio color guy (he's filled in for Siddall when Siddall has covered for Tabler on TV before) and then you put Zaun in a situation he would be fit for (by limiting him to talking about game stuff only and not giving him time to put his GM's hat on) and create an opening for a more sensible studio analyst.

 

[Discoverer]

Trumbo wow. Looked terrible.

He looks bad a lot.

Strike three in Machado's first at bat was even worse. Martin caught the ball as he was starting his swing.

But how would Zaun challenge Ventura to fights?

 

[canucksfan]

Don't like Martin in that 4th spot.

I think I would have

Travis
Josh
EE
Jose
Tulo
Martin
Saunders
Upton
Pillar

loosen his tie and lean out the window of the broadcast booth?
