    Because of the sound of his voice?

    He’s got a ton of knowledge, insight, experience…. And he verbalizes it. Not sure what else you’re looking for? Not saying he should replace Blum (who’s got his own cringe-worthy moments), but he’s fine as a fill-in.

    Eschenfelder is terrible as a PBP guy.

    Tough to pitch when he can’t throw it where he wants to right now… had to basically resort to throwing it down the middle and hope they hit it at somebody.

    Things to work on over this month. Luckily they have enough of a cushion to allow for it.

    Things to say:

    "It coulda been worse."
    "We would need to score more than 2 runs to win anyway."
    "We still have a 5 game lead no matter what."
