It's distracting focusing on a pitch when the color guys are there over-dissecting your plate approach ("when the pitch is, like, not far from the plate then, like, mayyyyyyybe you get a guy to swing. But, like...when the pitch is, like, so far outside though? He's not even going to WORRY about swinging! Not even worry about it I tell you!!!!!").

Can't help but question you liking that "advanced metric" obsessed Kenny, but dislike Amsinger? There is always that one guy!

Reynold's doesn't bother me all that much. He's ok. Reynolds and Plesac are a welcomed change. I'm just so glad it's not Joe Buck. I would definitely be muting him.

I just hope the new announcers, enjoyed recording the lines. Reynolds for one can be entertaining when he is having good time, he just has that voice. That was one thing the annoucers lacked in the past they seem like they were all business, get in, record lines, get out. A lot sounded like it was all script and not like they were witnessing a game in progress. Just having a voice actor who can visualize the plays their lines are about, can make a big difference.

I don't always agree with HR, but his voice is distinctive and differs enough from Matt and Dan that it will likely be a welcome change for me. I need the contrast. I actually liked Dave Campbell and was okay with Red Hudler. Once EK and Psycho came on board things had much more of a flat tone. It improved each year IMO, but there just wasn't enough difference in Karros and Lyons voices.

Pretty excited for the stream!

I really only care if we have some in-game highlights of other games going on in franchise and have some weekly/nightly game recap show.

What in the world is on the right field wall at Wrigley? That "Baseball Is Better," 'ad' stands out like a sore thumb.

Oh, I'm a devout member of the Sabermetric cult, so I appreciate BK's approach. Why, is Amsinger a stats guy too? I feel like every time I see him he's just talking about dudes' hair.

Are Lauren Shehadi and Heidi Watney in the game? I didn't watch the video because I didn't watch it.

I'd settle for Kelly Nash even.

Nah man, I'm just bursting your bubble.

I don't like Kenny but Amsinger has been a great host since the debut of the network. I really like the guy!
