    Caught him off guard?

    Probably like most fly balls...

    EDIT: N/m... he said it "didn't" catch him off-guard... awkward till the end.

    Think at times he made it awkward with his comments. I don't want the guy to get fired, I just wanted him to stop the awkwardness. I'd like to see one of those new baseball women get the job, who actually think about the game and give knowledge and want the job.

    Hopefully they hold on to Blum. Thought he did really well.

    Aside from how terrible he was on air, the constant attempts to flirt with Julia were really getting strange.

    Shoooo. You seen how hawt Julia is, if I was in his position I would try to flirt with her too. Any straight hot blood man or lesbian woman would.

    Wait what? You may be the first person I've ever heard that didn't like Deshaies. Anyways we're not getting him back. Blum is great, just find someone good to pair him with.

    It wouldn't shock me if that had something to do with it. Milo could get by because he was just the "senile old man". Ashby had no excuse for his creepiness.

    DeShaies isn't really all that well liked in Chicago.

    If being a fan favorite is his goal, he should have stayed in Houston where people knew he was.

    Finally, man he was freaking terrible. Already a better offseason than last year.

    I wonder if Blum only doing road games is his choice or the teams. Because I would love for him to become the full time color man, he's become extremely good. Hopefully he isn't lost in a full house cleaning.

    That's interesting. He was fantastic here.
