I can't believe how bad Don Orsillo is at calling home runs. He has so much room to improve. My wife and kids always know when a ball is gone before he does.
It is pathetic. His nickname should be Don "Always the Last to Know" Orsillo.

Don Orsillo & Home Runs | #21 | ||
|
One of the trademarks and measures of a good play by play announcer is the ability to call home runs in a definitive, fun, and hopefully even distinctive
manner.

That's the least of Orsillo's problems, honestly. He should first start working on provoking the color guy into compelling discussions.

Man, watching Wheeler face Youkilis makes me twitch all over. Of course that last spasm by Youk to jerk the ball over the fence was the best one!

Oki struggled recently and he may need rest.

Get Okajima out of there please. Horrendous performance in a must win game.

Oki is not fooling anyone folks. Where the hell is Bard?

He's now put the tying run at the plate with no one out. Get him the hell out.

Francona, you know, if Navarro homers here that's just the kind of thing that will make people on this board want to kill you. Stop this crap, Oki has
nothing today.

Just nothing enough bad things to say about Tito here.

Wow....asking 6 outs from Papelbon.....very risky

Now the tying run is on 1st, and Tito is finally making a move. Papelbon for 6 is a bit risky

This is completely indefensible. Oki needs to be out of that game as soon as Pena gets on. That's not even a question. Stop fucking around with our playoff
lives, Terry.

Nothing like giving the batters a different look when you have that option. Two hard-throwing lefties in Lester and Wagner. Oh, let's follow it up with a softer throwing lefty instead of a kid who throws 99 gas. Was that decision that f'n difficult to make? I have a bad feeling about this inning. |

Oki is losing it at just the right time...
Lets go Paps make Eck and the other old school closers proud with a six out save. |

You can question Oki facing Aybar, that wasn't very smart. But him facing Navarro was just flat out stupid.

I dont think Paps is going in for six outs. I look for him to try to get us out of the bases loaded jam with no outs and bard come in in the 9th.
