Lou Pinella is pretty good in the booth. Including a great point that I was unaware of. A’s had 1st and 2nd with either 0 or 1 out and there was a flyball to deep center. Well Kotsay (on 2nd) didn’t even try to tag….
“You need to get to third base in that situation. If you have a guy on third the 1st baseman has to hold the runner on first, opening the right side for the next batter”
You mean the “Yawning Chasm” Lou? Great point though. Other quotes from last night….
“Chavez gets a little pull happy”- SL, Whoa Stevie….whoa.
“If the A’s didn’t have ____ they wouldn’t be here right now”- SL, Not a bad statement but he used it three different times (Frank Thomas, Mark Scutaro, and Ken Macha)
Another great comment of the night goes to Joe Benanati (former Caps Announcer) who was doing the Flyers/Rangers game last night for Versus. Brendan Shanahan scored on a wicked slapshot in the second period and he screamed……
“AND BRENDAN SHANAHAN WITH THE BUZZ BOMB!!!!!!!!!!”
The yelling of it kind of scared me, but I learned two things last night and that’s all I can ask of my announcers. God forbid that they are actually informative, and we learn something right? And we got to see a Calf Muscle explode which was rad too.
