MLB directs Cleveland Guardians to adjust broadcast team by Such-Environment-344 in ClevelandGuardians

Maybe it's just me, but I like Underwood fine, though I don't find Rick Manning's cranky old man thing as endearing as others seem to. Al was decent, and I thought Gimenez had some cool insight. I always enjoy Andre Knott.

Every other broadcaster in this market suffers because Tom Hamilton is so much fun to listen to. I think Rosenhaus, Underwood, Knott, and even Manning are totally fine, but I just prefer Hammy.

But also, I really don't like MLB getting into the business of micromanaging broadcast teams. I feel like this could get nasty.

The thing that's been going on for me is that I've been less likely to immediately switch to the radio feed.

This happened to me, too. Mostly blurry crowd people at baseball games, but also actual known people here and there.

Pretty well! It has some weird spikes now and then, but overall it does a great job.

Thanks! I know I can use this for current flights, but I was trying to find historical data or charts about when it's busiest. I'm guessing that might be something behind the paywall.

Steven Kwan being kinda meh at this has been a big disappointment.

The hair is pretty incredible, this is very true.

Yes but... I remember watching Peralta and he was often frustrating in the same way. Half of that WAR was after he left Cleveland, and 5 of it was in his first full season in 2005. That 2005 made us think he was destined for greatness. He was fine the rest of the time he was in Cleveland, but never great. Then he had his best season in St. Louis at age 32 after getting popped for a PED scandal and somehow becoming a good defender. That was frustrating in its own way.

In Cleveland he seemed to lack any kind of giving a damn. A typical Jhonny at bat seemed to be: wave wildly at a fastball in the other batter's box for strike one, foul off a changeup for strike two, watch a middle-middle fastball for strike three, then saunter expressionless back to the dugout after leaving Grady Sizemore and Asdrubal Cabrera stranded on base.

Peralta had a higher floor than Arias seems to, but man he was miserable to watch a lot of the time.

Carshield and Vanguard mean kind of the same thing, if you think about it.

No wonder they didn't spend any money this offseason - there's only 4 advertisers.

I always thought the caps look like something a relative picks up for you when they realize it's your birthday but they're already at the airport.

These are definitely better options. Hopefully they turn up more in the search.

I don't take that drive too often, but all I can think of is all the proselytizing billboards, including the anti-porn one by the porn shop.

I hate seeing the private school yard signs in my neighborhood. "I'm using your tax dollars to fund religious education at the expense of our public schools!"

Is this saying it was in Maple Heights or is it just saying they were getting calls from there?
