He is no BA, but Levering doesn't bother me.  I do agree that he thinks he is funnier than he is.  

I don't think he thinks he's funny. I think he thinks his stuff is goofy. But try to be anything but dry over the course of a baseball season. I'll bet it's hard.

I would also suspect that he does better with 8-12 year olds. Not an unimportant demographic.

I'm just the opposite. Levering is like the worst fingernails on the chalkboard of all time type of thing for me.

There are several things about Levering that annoy me but the most frequent is the “SWEEEENG” thing. 
 

Maybe I was imagining it but when he was on the Fox telecast on Saturday it didn’t seem like he did it anywhere near as often. Or maybe it was just that Wainwright was so annoying that Levering seemed OK.

Totally agree. Rock is so annoying. Baseball has changed Rock. It's not the 70s anymore. Put some effort into it.

How much does Rock call anymore?  There have been several stretches where he is completely absent. 

On a related note, I thought I'd like Dillard as the color commentator better than I do.

Coincidently, that is exactly my maturity level!

How is that play not made? How many games do we have to watch the incompetence in CF.

I'm starting to wonder if Choirio needs glasses.

And I'm thankful for that! I'm a fan of older, obscure, pop culture. Vinny, Jeff, Tim are good for that on occasion. Maybe some people just are not getting some of the comments because they don't know the reference.

We missed out when Cory Provus left.

How does this team win games with The number 8 Durbin and 9 Ortiz  almost automatic Outs.  And Yeli is falling into the black hole too

Durbin must have hear you say that.

He was online reading the posts, as is his habit.

Everyone in the history of the world knew Ortiz was squaring up there. That was tough to watch.

[BruisedCrew]

Absolutely asinine to attempt a bunt there.

[Brewer77]

Bunting Ortiz there is just stupid baseball. I don’t care how bad he has been hitting

Even Vinny Capra got a hit!

[Playing Catch]

Wow, that Durbin play was awesome. Winning baseball.

[liveforoctober]

Give credit where it is due, Durbin just stole one for us. Good job kid.

So what does Murph say when a player runs through a stop sign but scores a run?

I don't think it was a bad call for a .169 hitter to bunt. It was bad execution.

[Simba2020]

I think a real CF has three extra putouts today.

You might be on to something. Why didn't he just get that ball that dropped in front of him? I'm 45 and I could have caught that ball if I dove.

[RobertCrawley]

Grant Anderson has done well for us.
