No games today still (and I’m still enjoying my break). I watched about 4 innings of the All-Star game last night in spite of my swearing I wasn’t going to, before I fell asleep for 12 hours last night. Michael Pineda threw a shiny clean inning, and the FOX Sports announcers couldn’t be bothered to stop talking about Derek Jeter long enough to recognize what was going on. After a few years of having watched both TBS and Fox Sports baseball broadcasting, my theory is that the announcers for those games don’t even really care about baseball – it’s just a paycheck to them, and if the players don’t have big names, they won’t bother to talk about them on the air.
Doc Ellis he ain’t…
