Smoltz seems to be a fan of his MLB Network partner Vasgersian and at least somewhat familiar with his work in The Show. Just said something along the lines of 'Now I know why they have you doing PBP in The Show' after Vasgersian got animated with his call for a big out in the USA-Japan game.

I heard that too, then rewound it because I couldn't place the context. Still can't.

I got to thinking maybe Smoltz just doesn't do much commentating, but he's done a crap ton the past half-decade so //I don't really know what it was referring to. The Show doesn't have WBC, either.

I guess he's just keying into the fact that Vasgersian showed he loves what he does.

Smoltz said it really awkwardly and it was hard to make out and Vasgersian kinda acted like he didn't know how to respond. It was weird. But Smoltz was right. I rarely actually hear Vasgersian call games but I've watched virtually the entire wbc and when the emotion is high Vasgersian excels. Love what I've heard and I wish the Show was able to capture those moments better.

Slightly off topic but my other favorite commentator is the underrated Rich Waltz who did the Tokyo portion of the wbc so I'm sure some of you heard him the last few weeks as well.

Being overseas we had the MLB Network international broadcasts for the WS games. Which were Vasgersian and Buck Martinez. Those games were so much more enjoyable to watch than Joe Buck and John Smoltz.

Also Vasgersian being a huge A's fan doesn't hurt. Lol

Anyone else get flashbacks of Triple Play 2002 when you hear Harold Reynolds' voice?

Something about hitting home runs in that game felt amazing. So many childhood memories of Harold calling home runs by Bernie Williams, Giambi, etc.

Triple Play Baseball was the GOAT back in the day!!! Remember the home run derby where you could hit objects and get points? My favorite one was the house!

Reed is comin' atcha!

Off topic question for you: Why do you end all of your posts with "Reed is comin' atcha!" , even though it is already in your signature and then you have it in your posts twice? And what does it mean?

Just curious...

Hmm, now that I think about it that is another game that technically had stadium tags.

"Oooohhh, he hit the keys!!!"

I have no idea why it's there twice haha I'll have to do some digging and figure that out. Thanks for letting me know. And I took a line from the song T.R.O.Y. by Pete Rock and CL Smooth and made it fit my name. The line itself is "Pete Rock and CL Smooth, comin atcha".

Reed is comin' atcha!

Stop coming at us..it's..creepy..

One small change I already would like to see for 18 is having Fielding Position on the stat overlays instead of L, R or S for whether batter is Left handed,Right handed or switch hitter.

I am talking about the Today , Home Run and Defense position overlays.

On the Batter Lineups however it should also show the L, R or S for whether batter is Left handed,Right handed or switch hitter next to the Fielding Position and AVG

Small changes but smart changes in my opinion

That would be at the beginning of the RTTS stream
They had some CPU v CPU gameplay on in between the 2 streams that day

I wanted to respond to this in your "Just a little rant!" thread but it got closed. Below is a series of quotes from the end of this year's development cycle. Well guess what, after three days of work, we were able to get the metal sound in for balls hit off the out of town scoreboard at Fenway this year using the new tagging system. Has anybody mentioned it? Nope. Just that none of your wishes are ever added to the game.

Last year I played the season with the Sox and was disappointed that there was no difference in the sound regarding what part of the Green Monster the ball hit. Perhaps I played with the Sox one year too soon?

It's up to the stadium team to use the correct surface type. If you show me exactly what part of the wall should be metal, I will look into it for next year if it hasn't already been addressed. Maybe also point me to the post you mention above.

There's that whole "radar gun for CPU vs CPU" thing that I heard very little gratitude for too after complaining about it for years. I can't imagine how frustrating that is for you guys.

Rest assured there are definitely some of us who are very appreciative for what you guys do.

# 359 Blzer @ 05/10/17 03:39 PM

There are things I wish for one year (without seeing anybody else had wished for it), and the next year they are put in... so I pretend like they heard out my request and made it happen.
