He has some solid insights but he CONSTANTLY talks over the play to the point where he is telling me why the runner on first ought to steal while the dude is sliding into second. With him as a colour man you basically lose any decent play-by-play that you need for the areas you can't see while watching from home.<BR/><BR/>Don't worry though, I emailed him about it so he'll calm it down.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926693983730031211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-12215712687095963992008-07-22T16:16:00.000-04:002008-07-22T16:16:00.000-04:00Hey-o!You know, with the right partner, Rance coul...Hey-o!<BR/><BR/>You know, with the right partner, Rance could be very good. And in fact, if you were to forcibly eject Jesse Barfield from the booth, you may end up with a good team of Hughson and Rance.<BR/><BR/>Still, our dream is to have Dan Pleasac doing the colour for the Jays. Caught him in a game earlier this year when he did an inning with (who was it? Musta been the Net.) He's working for WGN, but he'd offer the perfect blend of humour and insight.<BR/><BR/>And he might even run out with the World's Fastest Grounds Crew again.Tao of Stiebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12459135109404905466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-86801590544502429452008-07-22T15:56:00.000-04:002008-07-22T15:56:00.000-04:00^^ you mean on the field, or in the seat beside hi...^^ you mean on the field, or in the seat beside him?The Ackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374953233006854310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-66268499828047641852008-07-22T15:49:00.000-04:002008-07-22T15:49:00.000-04:00I'm always a little impressed by the way Rance som...I'm always a little impressed by the way Rance some how keeps it together in the face of such incompetence.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01046759279815077216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-20105269812084203402008-07-22T14:07:00.000-04:002008-07-22T14:07:00.000-04:00As Rance has mentioned approximately 3 times per a...As Rance has mentioned approximately 3 times per at-bat for the last 4 weeks, "Matt's swing is just a little long right now".<BR/><BR/>Also, Scott Rolen is apparently a "good breaking ball hitter", David Eckstein is a guy "who knows how to win", and Lyle Overbay is "the key to this lineup".<BR/><BR/>Having said that, I still love me some Rance, especially when he rips guys for letting fastballs down the heart sail on by.The Ackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374953233006854310noreply@blogger.com
