Comments on: ESPN analysts are obviously just mailing it in for any teams other than the Red Sox and Yankees http://umpbump.com/press/2009/08/25/espn-analysts-are-obviously-just-mailing-it-in-for-any-teams-other-than-the-red-sox-and-yankees/ In-your-face baseball commentary Sun, 21 Mar 2010 21:48:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Sarah Green http://umpbump.com/press/2009/08/25/espn-analysts-are-obviously-just-mailing-it-in-for-any-teams-other-than-the-red-sox-and-yankees/comment-page-1/#comment-60728 Sarah Green Wed, 26 Aug 2009 02:44:19 +0000 http://umpbump.com/press/?p=6667#comment-60728 "Are they already asleep on the East Coast by the time the West Coast teams play?" Got it in one. And actually Nick, if I can play editor/SEO expert for a minute, you're totally playing into their hands by titling the post about the Sox and Yanks, while 90% of your post is actually about the Dodgers' problems. You should have put the word "Dodgers" in the title somewhere, no? I'm sure I'd have more points to make but it's 7:45 on the West Coast and hence, my bed time. “Are they already asleep on the East Coast by the time the West Coast teams play?”

To their credit, while the Dodgers bullpen has been fantastic in giving up relatively few runs...the runs they give up seem to be game deciders recently.

I think maybe the bloggers (and the fans) are getting smarter, and more able to call them on their BS. I’m not convinced the talking heads are getting worse.

The other cool thing they do - when they do a game summary, they tend to let the local announcers take the call - instead of the BOOYA-tastic Baseball Tonight version.
