Matt in real life is great, Matt in The Show doesn't translate as well. I remember being startled when I actually heard im in real life compared to the monotone of the show.

If Robert Flores is to be believed, it's Harold.

I wonder if he's going to be a pre-game/post-game guy, or an in-game commentary guy. He received a lot of complaints when he was with Joe Buck, and Reynolds and Verducci were replaced by John Smoltz.

I know he has a history with Matt Vasgersian so maybe there's more chemistry there.

Matty V and Harold Reynolds have a daily morning show during the Offseason as well as years together on MLB Network's other programs. They should work well together (If they recorded lines together as opposed to at separate times).

And the last missing piece is the 3rd broadcaster. I'd like to see Tom Verducci or John Smoltz. Both incredibly fun to listen to and knowledgeable.

Matt could record Harold's commentary with his 'sound board' from Hot Stove.

Not sure where to post this but is the Griffey Card Pre Order available for every edition? From wherever you pre order it from? Cause Amazon's Pre-Order if you have Amazon Prime comes out to $56 for the MVP Edition.

That right there is so desperately needed in MLB The Show!!!

Also a Booth of Matt Vasgersian, Harold Reynolds And John Smoltz with all new lines and all recorded at the same time would have to be a huge improvement from what is in the game now!

And then one of the sexy woman from MLB Network for sideline and or Studio updates and then we will really have the beginnings of something really special maybe!

As long as the 3rd person isn't Kevin Millar I'm happy. His commentary is terrible and he makes both Rex Hudler & Steve Lyons seem intelligent lol

Their manager probably pulled them from the lineup because they are being traded to SCEA

If you truly know baseball and the way it plays out on the field, you know Harold Reynolds is one of the smartest baseball minds on television. The guy knows what he's talking about, absolutely love him. Not sure how people can't. I guess they just don't truly understand baseball. His baseball mechanic analyses etc are always spot on. Love listening to him on MLB Network, I'm really hoping it's him.

As long as we can still individually mute broadcasters, I'm fine with Reynolds.

Harold Reynolds is one of the dumbest live sports broadcasters out there. And yes, I "truly know baseball."

That said, with scripted lines, he would sound phenomenal in game (as he already has).

I think Al Leiter is one of, if not the best, color guy on tv today. I don't get to hear him much, because I use Yanks radio overlay on mlb.tv, but when I do hear him do a game, he is fantastic. Would be great for the show.

Agreed. Harold in the studio for MLB network is decent. Harold trying to do color commentary live is just head shaking. I remember him routinely saying stuff that seemed completely unrelated to the action on the field.

Maybe not as bad as Joe Morgan, who would say things related to what was happening on the field that were just flat out wrong. Like "he struck him out on a slider there and the hitter just couldn't pick up the spin", then they'd show the replay and it was clearly a 95 MPH fastball, and Joe would say "well, this pitcher's fastball behaves a lot like a slider sometimes, that is why the hitters are struggling so much tonight." Say what, Joe??

Ugh I wish I could see that video. I missed it before it was taken down.

Joe Morgan is like Morgan Freeman in two ways:

1) Their name contains "Morgan."
2) Every time I read a quote of theirs over text, their voice instantly kicks in inside my head.

And brother, reading that instance made me cackle at how true that really is!

This is also my take on it. H.Ren doesn't ad lib well and somtimes it's almost like he never even played the game at a high level with some of the inaccurate stuff he spews. Saying Harold Reynolds is one of the most knowledgeable baseball broadcasters out there is sort of like saying Homer Simpson is one of the foremost nuclear power plant experts. Both will surprise you every now and then, but it's mostly godawful.

That said, I agree that Reynolds might be perfectly fine in the game while sticking to a decent script.
