I don’t know what the hell kind of cheap-ass sportscaster headset they had Keith Olbermann on, I didn’t even know it was him until someone told me. He didn’t sound like himself – very little bass on his voice.
Anyway, we got an early does of Sterling or Scully when Rosario homered. When the play was live I thought this call was terrible but…..
…I have changed my opinion. I kill Gare for going into stock calls, and I think KO described this one correctly. Deep to right….then he realizes it is Very Deep to Right….and its gone. No bullshit, no fake to the track to the wall.
Verdict: Scully
Now this next one…Gary, KO is cleaning your clock. This is how you do it man. Nice, simple, no bullshit forced nonsense.
There were other home runs, and I wish I had the clips to share, but I do not.
SIDEBAR: hey baseball and your partners…your sport is dying. How about you have easily accessible and shareable highlights? SIDEBAR ENDS.
I really liked Keith’s play by play. It was low key, but not that checked-out low key you get out of Gare. Again Gary has called what 30*150 games over the years – and Keith Olbermann not so many, so there is that, but I am ready to switch to a Keith, Keith and Ron booth.
Thanks Nick for the hookups.
