Does Brian Anderson not get it?


aracko

Again - we had a pitcher throwing a no hitter(CC on Wednesday) and much like the last time we came anywhere near a no no - Brian Anderson is flapping his gums about CC having given up no hits yet, and the cards being hitless. Its almost like he knows what he is doing and trying to be an annoying worm.

 

Look, all superstitions aside, part of the thrill of a no hitter is the tradition of it. Nobody talks to the pitcher, nobody mentions no hitter or no hits. The pitcher is all alone in his part of the dugout. Its part of a buildup to a very special moment.

 

Sure enough after he says the cards have been held hitless, CC gives up his first hit. I am convinced that BA knows what he is doing. I am also convinced that BA is just one of those people that doesnt believe in superstition so goes about his way like any other day - but there are those of us that want it left alone. Either that or he lacks the creativity to say anything else.

It is weird the way he acts during potential no-hitters. I agree that he's being annoying on purpose because he should either just say that there is a no-hitter going on and totally ignore the superstition or he should not say anything. Instead, I feel like he's trying to be cute and skirt the issue.

 

I don't really care about the superstition, it's just jarring to have something that hasn't happened yet be constantly alluded to. And the production crew does the same thing, zooming in on the "H" section of the scoreboard after every inning.

 

On a related note, on Thursday after Braun's home run, Anderson and Schroeder acted like the game was already over and started talking about how it was the 6th time the Brewers had beat the cards in the last at bat this year and naming all the guys who had got the hits that won the game. Luckily, the Cards announcers were guilty of even worse hubris by naming Ryan Franklin the player of the game before he had actually closed the game out.

 

Is it that hard to wait to talk about things during sporting events until they actually happen? By constantly talking about things that haven't happened yet, all you do is set yourself up to look foolish. It's one thing to mention the possibility of something happening, but to dwell on it is annoying, at least in my opinion.

He knows what he's doing, just wants to be jerkface to the people who get upset about it. You can notice that he giggles like a little girl while doing it. I really wish he'd stop, he's not endearing himself to the fans by annoying them.
