When Iglesias is elected to the Hall of Fame, they will always show that Jeteresque cut-off.

BTW, had to leave for a minute so put on the radio for the last few outs... Melanie Newman is really bad. Indecisive, no emotion, not impressed, but I wanted to be.

Agree to disagree. I was yelling don't send him the whole time. Was obvious it wasn't deep enough.

If the throw is off line at all he's safe. Was a fine send.

Based on the replay he was out by a fairly wide margin. I just don't agree.

Definitely wish she showed more personality, hopefully as she gets more comfortable.

That is definitely fair, but she needs help describing the play, she is lacking in describing the action.  IMO, everyone who is announcing off the monitor gets a mulligan this year.  I do not believe I have heard her doing a homegame this year.

My one  take on the announcers this year, more Kevin Brown.

No doubt. Very good point. 

 

I was just really put off by the end of today's game. It was an out at the plate to end the game and secure an O's victory, and she described it like a pop-up for the first out of the inning. Not sure if that can be blamed on the conditions, but hopefully she improves, I really hope she does I think it's great overall.

Yep, it is not fair to make any judgements.

Either way, I'm not sure if yall remember how bad Bordick was when he started. Like, -bad- bad.

 

I still remember when someone (Chris Davis?) hit a grand slam at Yankee stadium that just bounced off of the top of the wall. An insane play, and should be treated accordingly. 

 

Bordick paused and went, "That was awesome."

 

I mean, yikes.

 

Melanie gives me real early-Bordick vibes. I think she'll get it in time, especially when the crowds come.
