I've grown to accept that if a player's last name is NOT Smith, they will struggle. 

I did radio for a very brief time in the mid 90s, and one thing I ALWAYS did was try and go over the names I was to pronounce before I went on..
 
You'd think with a few hours to prepare WITH ACCESS to the lineup, they'd at least look at it and perhaps try to ask someone, maybe in the Reds PR department how to pronounce a name that looks difficult.
 
But what do I know.

They do it in college sports for those announcers....I can't believe they don't do it for professional announcers.

Now whether Thorne or Bordick care enough... That's a different topic

It's crazy.

 

Mesoraco was an All Star this year. I realize he's not a household name, but still, kid's a nice player, and it's not that hard of a name.

 

Mezorko. come on, man!

Holy fuckin' Schoop!!!!!!!!!

They love Schoop.

Johnny Beisbol en la bullpen de Rojos!

That was quite the blast from Schoop. He definitely has 20+ HR potential if he can get a little more selective at the plate.

So the O's aren't selling LF uppers tomorrow? I'm planning on taking my dad for his bday and just trying to get the cheapest possible tickets.

Dugout Club game by chance?  Ususally Sundays by now, but maybe some function.

I need to ask about this: what is his actual first language?

 

I know he speaks a bunch, but since he's from Curacao it seems like something Dutch would be more appropriate, no?

Good focus by Davis.

Jedd Gyor-a-ko in San Diego wants to know what the problem is?

Well if you want Dutch we can call him Johnny Honkbal.

Boston is up on New York 9-4 in the bottom of the 9th.

That's more unique, anyway

Just got back from a Stone event at Max's. It's great to not have to drive back from such an event.
