I love this point it makes:<br /><br />"Unlike many of today's commentators, he understands that what has happened is more important than what might happen."<br /><br />Exactly. I haven't before been able to boil the issue down as succinctly as that, but that's it. When I listen to Joe Morgan or Tim McCarver or Joe Buck, they spend 98% of their time predicting what will happen, guessing what the pitcher will throw, whether the batter is thinking changeup, blah blah blah. They spend none of their time actually telling you what is happening in the goddamn game! They'd rather spread their opinion, cause oh lord do they know all, than just call the game.<br /><br />And that distinction makes all the difference.Kyle Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02074411479856389109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-79766193463012217822009-10-06T12:30:21.651-07:002009-10-06T12:30:21.651-07:00RB, you got me a little weepy thinking about Chick...RB, you got me a little weepy thinking about Chick and about watching Lakers broadcasts with the TV sound down and Chick's call through the radio. Usually it was mostly sunced, but in later years w DVR technology I would get very specific by using the pause function to sync dat shit up exactly right. That was time well spent (despite what Mrs. Dusty ever said about the practice).Kyle Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02074411479856389109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-67223873563767882782009-10-06T09:54:23.904-07:002009-10-06T09:54:23.904-07:00If you have XM Radio, you'll get the home broa...If you have XM Radio, you'll get the home broadcasts for the first two games. Their audio should match up with the TV.<br /><br />I remember Chick Hearn telling Laker fans to turn down the set when Dick Stockton and Fat Tommy Heinsohn were doing the commentary for CBS. Everything used to match up wonderfully. Thanks to satellite TV and DVR's, that's not the case anymore.rbnlawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192692349456006520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-36346693311354575322009-10-06T09:11:29.816-07:002009-10-06T09:11:29.816-07:00TBS should put Vinny on for the national broadcast...TBS should put Vinny on for the national broadcast.

I had trouble because the radio was ahead of the TV, and sadly, no one sells the radio equivalent of a DVR. MLB.com used to allow you to pause games and pick up where you left off, but that functionality disappeared this season.Josh S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06838578298386299922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-6882437215974999332009-10-06T07:21:42.856-07:002009-10-06T07:21:42.856-07:00excellent - MLB.com still has the radio broadcasts...excellent - MLB.com still has the radio broadcasts, right?
