Same here. He was coasting on his rep by the time he got to Houston. 

But I loved Dierker in the TV booth and even Ashby before he became a dirty creep. 

Robert Ford has developed into a star imo.

Maybe it was because he was at the mic when I was kid and started loving the game, but Milo and Dierker in the 90s was, maybe still is, my favorite broadcasting combo.

But Milo, like the brick red pinstripe jerseys, held on for about 10 years too long.

Ouch 

From that link, Dusty once batted three times in an inning...against the Astros.  Homered, singled, and grounded out to SS for the 3rd out.  The Braves scored 13 in the bottom of the 2nd.  The Astros used 7 pitchers in the game, which had to have been a shit ton for back then.

Ford and sparks are soooo good together. I think with the right person, their styles could translate if they ever split up but I hope we never have to find out.

 

my biggest pet peeve lately has been MLB.tv’s inability to consistently sync up the radio broadcast audio with the video.

[UTexasFight 9365]

Peña won’t see a fastball the rest of this game after those last two swings 

[Ojo Rojo 1866]

Damn it's good to see our hitters getting well, our pitchers kicking ass and the team winning!

[Ojo Rojo 1866]

We still rank 28th in the league in BA, though, at .217.  I don't know how that number can be right, even with Maldy and Gurriel's current numbers.

[Halohal 498]

Knuck if you Tuck.

Yeah...

[Halohal 498]

Like me some McCormick seasoning.

Yordan!

[tx 3 putt 75959]

Yordan !!!!

[clapclapclap 9000]

Yordan it again

[Halohal 498]

Just like hitting driver on a pair 3

[Guest]

Love the Nerf ball comment.

"Fuck all yo baseballs."   #AirYordan

[elfenix 34161]

Yardon!

Sure you do. It’s his cool zone! (I know that’s not how it works). 

[kevwun 15572]

Nothing like getting frozen on a pitch that is in the perfect spot to be be driven over the wall.  Nice work Goodrum.

I like Yordan...like a lot 

[UTexasFight 9365]

These balls are so dead.

111exit velo, 26 degree launch. Covers 414’ and doesn’t clear the wall by a lot.

Yordan wasnt exactly busting it out of the box either 

but alls well that ends well

[UTexasFight 9365]

Tucker not getting to 100 runs this year because of the trash behind him is going to be infuriating. going to miss out on one of those “the only other people to do that are Mays, Aaron, Bonds” type stats, where the “that” is 30+ HRs, 2Bs, SBs and 100+ RBI, runs

[Halohal 498]

 

[clapclapclap 9000]

Ya think Rocco Baldelli drives a Corvette?

[kevwun 15572]

That was a hell of a Bad News Bears impersonation.

[Wulaw Horn 18939]

That should be a hit for Peña. And it was. 
3/3. 
104 EV

109 EV

23 EV. 
the 23 EV is a guess/joke. About as opposite as two hits could be- his past two.

We are probably just cheating or something. 

[OB3 3608]

Fuck breg

Listening to Sparks and Ford. They said it looked like his knee. 

[WBT 20377]

Damnit, too much lost time could cost him unanimous roy

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Promising I guess:

 

[David Dennison 18487]

I expect to hear the dreaded "knee discomfort" in the postgame.

Edited May 12, 2022 by David Dennison

[clapclapclap 9000]

Your mom's knees are sore.

[Scraps 13518]

ah shit he caught the Yordan already 

[rvm96 1643]

Me when Pena got hurt

[WBT 20377]

8 Ks through 4 for Garcia if that's any good

[Guest]

Luis improving his pitches per inning number with that one...

[Scraps 13518]

i blame all the dummies who want to consistently compare what he has done to Correa in the first 30 games of the season.  

by the looks of it they are now tied in injuries this year for those who are keeping score

“Navigating the steps”?!

That’s almost stalker level detail.

how did he look stepping in and out of the shower, Ben?

Milo was on the level of Old Freak Nasty with the women interns.
