He_Gawn Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 They showed Ozuna getting the game winning hit and Reynolds is like, this kid has a BUNCH of potential and then Kruk butts in and says hes going to be a star. I for one think Ozuna is a good player and will be a good UTL guy, but BBTN out of nowhere saying this kids going to be the next star?

3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 A star? LOL, I think it just shows how much (little) they know. I love what he's doing, but come on, he's been a career minor leaguer, and i'm not sure if I can see him being a consistent starter, a good util guy though. How old is he, 30?

bmags Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 hahaha... i DO think he be a graffanino like util guy though. I really like his swing. It makes me want to go outside and play baseball but then i realize its cold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nokona Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Chances are they're going off their stuff from 2 years ago when he was 6 years younger. It also took 33 minutes before they got to any games involving any two teams west of Cincinatti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Kruk? That the guy who quit the Sox in the middle of the season back in 94 or 95? Thought so. Ozuna a star? He's got a better chance to take Reynolds' job on TV than he has of being a star. BBTN and others are just waiting for the Sox to fall. Then they will be the lead story.

aboz56 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Personally I find it useless to even discuss ESPN's coverage of baseball. It is obvious that they are going to begin every highlight show, whether it be Sports Center or BBTN, with highlights of the Yankees followed closely with the Red Sox. I am fine with who they cover because they have a large following for those teams around the country. The problem they have to me is a bunch of worthless idiots discussing baseball. Harold Reynolds? What makes this guy qualified to discuss baseball? What did he ever win or accomplish? As I've said before, he should stick to the Little League World Series broadcasts. Jeff Brantley? Same questions apply for this guy as well. He is quick to analyze things he has no clue about. John Kruk? Shouldn't he be managing a Krispy Kreme? Seriously this guy is as clueless as they come. Steve Phillips? This guy was one of the worst GMs ever in major league baseball, yet he latches on as a baseball analyst? Larry Bowa? A fiery guy who never really "got it" as a manager....Ideal ESPN analyst. Hey ESPN, hire some people who have actually accomplished something in their careers and are qualified to speak rather than a bunch of rambling idiots. Just some food for thought.

All they want are a bunch of washed up losers who dont mind sucking some Yankee or BoSox cock and dont care about integrity or calling it like they see it.

I bet that if you took Roony and Farmer and put them in a room with the BBTN guys, those two would run curcles around the cast of clowns from BBTN.

These are two of the best baseball guys around IMO. They'd run circles around just about anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, obviously their opinions arent as informed or as important. ESPN, after all, is the world wide leader in sports. They only hire the best, most informative, and most experienced people around.

That's like Christopher Reeves judging a dance contest." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
