Marty and his minions, lol, love it. Its bothersome that people take what he says as if its absolute fact.
Marty describing the game of baseball he is watching = Fantastic
Marty telling me what he thinks about players and the game = Mind numbing most of the time
Precisely how I feel. Only Vin Scully ranks up there with Marty, in my opinion, in describing the action on the field.
It’s the other nonsense I can’t deal with.
He’s just become such a bitter old man…
Speaking of Marty, I was listening to one of the hot stove chats on mlb.com and a caller asked if the Reds would consider signing Bobby Abreu. Marty snidely commented on how Abreu was a left-handed hitter and the Reds had too many already. Too many? IF they signed Abreu to play left, they’d have 3; Votto, Bruce, and Abreu. I was really surprised at the off-hand and arrogant way he dismissed the question.
Marty was having an Adam Dunn flashback.
Oh, I looked it up; Abreu has 65 career sacrifice flies…but only one last year.
I think the Reds need to include a “You’re paid to describe the Reds baseball games not express your opinions on them.” clause in Marty’s contract. Much like he claims that they included a “You’re paid to drive in runs not take a walk.” clause in Adam Dunn’s contract.
