2011-08-13 Pirates (Correia) at Brewers (Estrada) [Brewers win, 1-0]

[The Truth]

Its funny to read all of you guys complaining about the announcers. Personally I'm very happy to be able to watch a Brewers game without listening to Bill Schroeder!

This should make you appreciate Rock. Williams is brutal. I understand that you should throw a tough pitch on 0-2 and get a player to make an out...we dont need to hear it all day.

Seems like the difference between Braun being a 1.000 OPS guy and not is all about walks. Grounded out on ball four there

He's walked 11 times since May. I knew he wouldn't keep up his pace (16 BB's in April), but his patience is back to where it was his rookie year.

 

Mitch Williams using made up words now, "unexplainable."

If he says another work starting with "p" intentionally I may take a nap.

[FVBrewerFan]

Ok Williams, the Pirates have the line-up to win, just need pitching?

So you're saying he's nonlistenable?

[endaround]

In what universe was pitching and defense not carrying the Pirates this season?

[The Truth]

Estrada dealin'

[umphrey]

It's pretty funny how right after reading like 2 pages of how bad the announcers were they started talking about not knowing what words like mediocre mean and admitting that they aren't the sharpest tool in the shed

[Glennron]

I miss having the FoxTrax box in the lower right part of the screen. If anything you don't have to look up pitch counts online.

[chickinbrickin]

I can't remember a recent outing for Estranda where he didn't give up a run. Have to agree with Steveo, at least a AAA starter would be stretched out and could maybe offer more innings. Thanks Chris for being an idiot and stabbing yourslef in the hand with a scissors.

 

Well, hopefully the bats stay hot and the Crew pulls out another W.

 

EDIT: Just checked it out and he has given up at least a run in 5 of his last 7 outings.

 

Thanks Marco for making me look stupid. I don't mind being wrong here. Hopefully he keeps it up. He is locating very well right now.

[FVBrewerFan]

You would think these guys are the Pirates regular announcers, when's the last time they mentioned anything about the Brewers? You know, the team that's in first place?

 

Edit. This just in, Estrada is cruising like a '57 Chevy.

I hold him unresponsible.

[ECpackers]

u dont like ROCK?

 

he;'s only the best announcer of all time. and best catcher. listen to the man, pure genius.

 

it makes it better than he always has half a jag-on....you know whenever the other team gets a hit, the mutes the mic, swears up a storm, and throws stuff all around the booth.

 

 

bill schroeder is the best.

[FVBrewerFan]

So antlers are old school?

[PrinceEatMeat]

Mitch Williams doesn't like the untuckem. I now officially hate him. More than I did already from just listening to him talk.

[The Truth]

"250 pounds of ouch" and "are they delivering cauliflower in 18 wheelers to your house, Prince?"... c'mon guys admit it, this is better than Bill Schoeder saying the same thing over & over for 15 seasons

[a3uge]

Hey guys, did you know 96% of outs are a result of balls? You, know, a strike-out looking doesn't happen at all... ever.

[liveforoctober]

The 'untucking' followed by the stuffed cauliflower talk was it for me... I have the game muted and I have music playing now.

[ECpackers]

'you don't get batters out with strikes'

 

 

i need to now punch this guy in the strike zone

[FVBrewerFan]

4% of outs on strikes? That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard froma broadcast, and that's saying a lot.

[craigharmann]

I haven't heard him say this and I know he's unsmart.

[Shootkick1000]

Again, this guy was known as being an odd personality? He sounds like my great-grandfather talking about Napoleon Lajoie and Honus Wagner after two Ambien and a shot of warm milk.

[Glennron]

Williams keeps talking about how balls get outs, not strikes.

 

His career walk rate: 7.1BB/9 IP.

Mitch Williams is just annoying to listen to. Rock is boring, and I don't like him much, but he's better than Williams. I dislike both actually. I say bring back Cirillo.
