Yes, but don’t forget his broadcast partner was the Rays own color announcer, so that would give it some balance.

I think our BA does a great job on those national broadcasts — they showcase his knowledge of and enthusiasm for the game, and while his Rays affiliation gives him good knowledge of the team he is not a real “homer.” Let’s enjoy him now because I suspect within a few years he’ll have a permanent national gig.

Took the words from my mouth… I couldn’t believe the tonal change between the two home runs. It was almost like he was annoyed at having to stop his conversation to call Joyce’s homer.

I would hate to be a minor leaguer with the Rays. It takes forever to get promoted to the majors unless your traded, like Ruggiano & Dietrich. I think the last one was Jennings other than pitchers. Its pretty bad when they sign players like Matsui rather than promote there own players.

I’m not sure if Dick Stockton has an affiliation to the Orioles but it sure sounded like it. When Adam Jones hit his 2 run homer in the 1st, Stockton had a verbal orgasm and made it sound like a walk off in the World Series. Two innings later, when Matt Joyce hit a HR to bring the Rays to within 1 run and actually make their national game of the week competitive, he barely registered emotion in his voice. What makes a national broadcaster great is the ability to be a homer for BOTH teams and make it an exciting game to watch. Stockton failed miserably. When you can make the giggling, buffoonish Brian Anderson the better announcer in the booth, you really have accomplished something.

My dad sometimes likes to point out things that happened long ago….even though he doesn’t make any sort of point

What did you forget about Niemann? The fact that he’s a perennial candidate for the DL? That must be it. Nice one Budman
