Just get Gruden and call it a night.

I would eat a hunk of my own fecal waste before listening to Tim McCarver again.

[BaseballMom]

I like Verducci...don't know about listening to Harold for a whole game

[stevestevens]

Whenever I watch a game I just turn the volume down and put AO's posts into a text to voice program.

To celebrate this hiring, we should all enjoy some Harold Reynolds highlights:

 

 

Heard on MLB Tonight ‏@HeardOnMLBT

 Heard on MLB Tonight ‏@HeardOnMLBT

"[Trout] is not scoring runs." - Harold Reynolds (Trout leads the AL in runs scored)

 

Heard on MLB Tonight ‏@HeardOnMLBT

"McCutchen might not even be the MVP of his own team!" - Harold Reynolds

 

 

Heard on MLB Tonight ‏@HeardOnMLBT

"You can talk about on-base percentage all you want, but I didn’t give [Votto] $225 million to put him on base.” - Harold Reynolds

I'm being straight up honest. I have no idea what run differential is. - Harold Reynolds

So is Fox trying to tank the WS ratings so much so that they can put it on Fox 1 and tank them even more?

[BaseballMom]

lol...poor Harold

"Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about." - Harold Reynolds

 

 

Well this is pretty much perfect.

Harold will cry on air if his buddy Jeter is in the World Series. He admitted on MLB Network that he'll probably cry during Jeter's last game.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Can't we just have Joe Buck…this is horrid.

[Second Base]

I'm one of the few that actually really enjoy Reynolds. He's not the most accurate or intelligent and that's not what he's going for. He's a positive guy with some charisma and a recognizable name that's well connected. I don't mind listening to him at all.

[Docwaukee]

I like Reynolds better than McCarver. He seems to have adopted the 'anti-saber' attitude for controversy's sake.  Feels like he doesn't believe it to the level he proclaims it.  That schtick does make him a little more difficult to listen to.  I felt like he was better when he first started with mlb tv. 

[nando714]

Bob Costas and his pink eye please

[Homebrewer]

I think it should be Vin Scully, Tim Mcarver,  and........... Joe Morgan.

[Hollyw00d]

Ok

[Ochocinco!]

^^^^^I'm happy

I don't mind Harold Reynolds, and I am going to defend him here:  He is on the air 4 hours a day at least, and 6 months a year.  There is just too much time to fill.  So he says 5 or 10 idiotic things in six months.  Big whoop.

I'm with you.  I am not fighting a deathmatch over defending him.  But I like him.

[YouthofToday]

I prefer a 9 man booth with clowns if that meant less Joe Buck.

I wish they picked the Hud man. I'm serious.

[Kevin]

Throw in Jose Mota and call it a day.

The high point in McCarver's career was calling Scott Spiezio's home run seconds before the pitch.

 

"Down and in, and it's 5-3". And then the pitch from Felix Rodriguez came down and in.

 

That was pretty impressive.

Back in the old days (late 80's) - he used to do that stuff all the time.  He was quite impressive in his prime.

Verducci>>>>>>>McCarver>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Reynolds

 

How Reynolds keeps his job, I'll never understand.
