I disagree that Jimmy is a cool guy. That aside, he certainly has a ton more to offer in the booth than BT.


Jimmy Ballgame non cool guy anecdote. Jimmy and his most recent wife or mistress walk into a matinee at Plaza Frontenac, maybe 10% full at most, and sit right in front of a couple a few rows ahead of me.
Also, there are plenty of nerds that have interesting stuff to say.

You guys are taking my eighth-grade bully level analysis way too seriously.

Pro tip: turn off the sound.

Baseball is vinyl season for me. You know who's better than Brad Thompson: Curtis Mayfield. That said it's hard to know exactly when to start the record so it syncs right with the game.

That's a dumb pro tip. Modern audio for baseball games is awesome, and not just because you can clearly hear a batter's thoughtful response when he pops-out on a hanging breaking pitch.

Yes, I know he sounds like a douche bro. Thompson should be forced to move to Slovenia, so I can hear Matt Carpenter yell "[expletive]" every time he strikes out.

I worry that Carpenter will yell "[expletive]" right when the wind shifts, so the microphones won't pick up anything.
