It's a pretty quiet place. I found it when I saw the site sponsored one of the pages on Baseball-Reference.com, and was delighted to see JHB was there. Mostly just JHB posting things for people to read. I joined and he and I have had a few interesting discussions (to me at least).

 

I always enjoyed his thorough posts and solid research. I'm not sure what it was that made him leave here but I think we're all worse off for it.

 

He was too uptight and it's a shame. Hope he's happy where he is.

I don't know if I would say he was too uptight. He may not have had much tolerance for people talking s*** or being dumb, but to me it would be worth it to placate him so he could have stayed around. While he was here I found he and ORS to be the most well-informed posters here, and it wasn't really close. The quality of this board went down when he stopped contributing.

I'm confused. On GameCast, Felix's ball lands right in the middle of RF and it comes up "single to right". Coste's hit lands in some behind-1B no man's land and it comes up "flied out to right". Weird, man.

Dave Roberts is excruciatingly bad at announcing.

 

He's one of those encouraging announcers who tries to make people feel good. I think a 3-man booth of Roberts, Eck and Orsillo would be great.

 

I really like Eck, he has more insights about pitching than just about any announcer I've heard, right there with Hershesier.

Unrelated to the game, but just walking around Philly, it's surprising how many Red Sox shirts/hats you see and how little Phillies stuff.

Two men in the booth is enough talking.

Placate one poster? I disagree.

Drew needs to PH for Rico

 

edit - Kotsay is not Drew, Tito

 

Drew is sore from being HBP in the back. Won't see him, unfortunately.
