Call me crazy but did anyone else have difficulty finding the ALCS on TBS? I couldn't easily find it on my cable system. And since I'm traveling finding the blasted TBS became more frustrating. Why does baseball do this? For a few extra bucks?
Which leads to me the broadcast team of Chip Carey, Ron Darling and Buck MArtinez....perhaps the oddest broadcast team in recent memory. Here's a question...if his last name is Del Franco and not Carey, does Chip work this series? He's a hard listen...like he's trying to force it. He overtalks like the broadcasting version of Jesse Jackson. Instead of saying "it's 10:00" Carey actually said "the hour has reached 10, tonight in St. Petersburg." Are we kidding?
Creating a storyline before onev occurs. Take for example, his questioning of whether Matt Garza was on a pitch count....Darling, thankfully, set Carey straight. "He's a got 150 days to rest." When Manager Joe MAddon took Garza out in the 7th, Carey, Darling and Martinez did not mention it. Which was strange.
