Why you pitch to Bryant: you need to get through the 13th inning to win if your boppers can get a run in, and Gore-Baez-Almora is better than Baez-Almora-Murphy.

 

Gore scares me a lot leading off the inning, actually. If he just reaches, it's big trouble.

What do you think is wrong with Mendoza? I like her. Either way, announcers don't make or break a game with me.

 

She and A-Rod are good. The problem is when they are teamed with a sub-par PBP person. I like it when ex-players just riff and analyze. Tony Romo, for instance, is cool because he provides constant great insight and seems to really enjoy the game.

Obviously Baez will do something annoying.
"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006

Could the broadcasters be rooting for a Cubs win any more obviously?

 

Watch it on ESPN2. Much, much better.

Why does ESPN have more than one broadcast of the same game?

 

So they can pretend to care about analytics.

Gore is going to bunt for a single, steal second, Baez will hit one that looks good off the bat, but will be an out, then the next hitter will drive in Gore. Also, Gore will totally be looking to walk if he doesn't try to bunt.
