I'd rather Astros stop getting TOOTBLAN and have Ranger fans complain about the acronym as Astros fans won't need to use it.
No doubt. It's a great stat to keep track of, but that is the dumbest damn name I've ever heard. Surely we can do better. DOOB - Dumbass Outs On Basepaths; though not all outs on the bases are dumb (the biggest fault with their methodology, would be tedious to get correct, case-by-case basis), so how about for accuracy and brevity's sake: OOB - Outs On Basepath
Kalas and Blum pair together so well. It's like watching a game with two cheesy dads. Great chemistry.
Maybe it's because it's the first time I've seen him in 10 years, but ******* did Matt Albers let himself go.
You think so? I don't think they have it yet and there's something about Kalas' voice that bugs me. Maybe because it's too good? I can't quite put my finger on it yet. Or, I just miss Bill Brown...
I think Kalas has a very exaggerated baseball voice but it seems authentic. I think the lack of Ashby is what got me excited. There seems to be a fun demeanor with the trio of Kalas/Blum/Morales (as well as a lack of sexual harassment).
No thanks, they've had enough of appearances for now (3 in my lifetime including 1 win, 5 overall with 2 wins).
LOL. Julia is thanking her lucky stars. Yeah, I like Kalas' voice, I like the low deep "boring" tone. Will miss the hell out of Brownie though.
Can't watch today so I'm only box score watching. Seems like Devo struggled a bit. Is he experimenting with something, resting his arm for the season...? Obviously, his start today isn't a legitimate concern, so I'm just curious.
