These nicknames hearken back to about 30 years ago when Chris Berman on ESPN was topical and funny. SportsCenter and Baseball Tonight were must-see back in the pre-internet days. His nicknames were not really nicknames but they were often entertaining. I always liked Bert "Be Home" Blyleven.

Baseball Tonight was appointment TV for me in the late 90's- 2000's... Couldn't go to bed without knowing what the web gems were that particular night!

What was the screaming baseball's name? 

 

C'mon Bert seriously, it's the easiest name you've had all year and you still mess it up!
"Andrew Cashneer"

3 batters faced, 1 swing, 2 outs

They always grow louder when they are about to feed on... er nevemind.

No TV broadcast on FSN? The Texas broadcast is blacked out on mlb.TV for me....

Phil "Mcrib" Hughes.

To be fair, Kepler also should have walked, and that would be a run.

Phil "Mcrib" Hughes.

 

Yes!! Winner. I'm using this nickname from now on for Hughes.

Dozier really killed that inning

Wind blown

All those walks, and Grossman's not even in the lineup. That just seems wrong.

 

Dozier really killed that inning

 

Understandable he wanted to get things going.  But turned out to be huge.  A guy throws you 4 straight balls, maybe see if he walks the next guy?

I know there's a limit on "likes"; wonder if, there's a limit on:     ????

Exciting

ATHLETIC!

Take that Gomez lol lol lol!!!!!

Heck of a play

Impressive they managed not to score there. Not every team could do that.

SANO!  

 

Sano Gold 

Simply absurd play

Choo just "pulled a Dozier"!

So far, this game has an odd feel to say the least.

Sano's got an arm.  big league play right there.

Look, we got a "big" hit last night. Can't expect them every night or every week for that matter. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so big now would they?
