Old Ironmaker Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 And it doesn't hurt like Football.
FloatnFly Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 i feel like im watching a rangers broadcast
FloatnFly Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Who is this Calobello (Colabello) guy they keep mentioning? Edited October 12, 2015 by FloatnFly
Old Ironmaker Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Chris Colabello plays first base for TO. Only 1 or 2 years ago he was playing for Italy's national team. A rah rah team guy that it appears everyone likes to play with. Batting over 300 against lefties as opposed to 250 with his platoon partner Smouts hitting around 250 against southpaws. Not as defensively adept as Smouts says the talking heads. Jays are playing long ball tonight, that's their game, they need to be up by 5 mid game and they are. Problem is playoff baseball is always small ball. Edited October 12, 2015 by Old Ironmaker
Acountdeleted Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 I really can't stand these fox sports announcers. Announced: you only get one good pitch per at bat. And that was it for Tulo. (Next pitch Tulo cranks a 3 run home run)

FloatnFly Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 I find it funny how they go into the background of the Rangers manager and his coaching history, but have not mentioned one thing about Gibbons, or Colabellos journey into the bigs
leaf4 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 Apparently us in Canada would've had a tough time catching that bounce out double lol those announcers were something else http://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/sports/tv-analyst-harold-reynolds-takes-swipe-at-canadian-baseball-players-1.2605855
Old Ironmaker Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Floatinfly. I figured you knew who he was but I was the kid in school that never put his hand up so I'm making up for it. Yea most announcers butcher names. Hell I have relatives that don't pronounce their own name properly, it used to drive me batty. Jays play longball tonight and win. Need to just keep doing exactly how they got there. Actually I see advantage Jays now as Texas is deep in their starting order of hurlers I would think. Edited October 12, 2015 by Old Ironmaker
Old Ironmaker Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 Lucas I wouldn't put much solace in what a talking head doing baseball would say. Not many listen closely but if you do they all say stupid things to fill air time. Especially in the slower paced games like baseball and golf. If one listens intently, and I don't know why one would, they all actually have cards of quips pre written. I remember one NFL telecast when the great play by play man Pat Summerall well into his 70's by then must have shuffled his cards and said the exact same thing about one player 4 times before his partner John Madden the legend pointed it out. This stuff is scripted, the guys that go off the cuff usually say something to lose there jobs. Former NY Giant running back Tiki Barber lasted one day on NBC's Today Show for saying something off colour. Golf channels Kelly Tillman was suspended for a month for saying they should take Tiger Woods out back and hang him, oops. She should have been fired but has nice legs. As for Americans knowing nothing about Canadian, don't sweat it because they know nothing about Americans either.
Steve Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 entertaining game last night..... which was very well received by the house full of jays fans I was with last night. I think it was big for the jays confidence to see that they "could" win..... tonight will say a lot!
ccmtcanada Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 Wow. They sure came out swinging early!!! Let's hope RA settles into a groove!!
FloatnFly Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 Gibby is not messing around at all, Price up already
LostAnotherOne Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 So far so good. The way the Jays are hitting it might of calmed some of his nerves haha.
FloatnFly Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 The boys are back! nerves are gone, back to what made them so good before
LostAnotherOne Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 Game not over yet, but I called a game five after game two. What do I win?
FloatnFly Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 and now price.....keep the leashes short
davey buoy Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 Dickey did his job,hang tough boys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FrankTheRabbit Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 Just saying, as I'm sitting here at Boston Pizza, these Jays are on a roll. Agree with everyone else, these American commentators are pretty bad.
