Figured he deserves a thread of his own.

I've seen Deshaies get bashed a couple times of late (not on here, just on internet comment sections in general).

I like him, though. He can break down the game, but he's also got a really quick and dry sense of humor that works great with Len.

There've been lots of examples of it that I can't remember because I'm not Huey, but, just today:

QuoteLen: Happen to receive Popular Mechanics?

JD: Uh, I do not.

Len: Kluber was on the cover of the April issue this year.

JD: Pitching magazine, huh?

#TeamJD

I like JD as well. He's smart, his analysis is good, he meshes well with Len, and he frequently drops FIP and everything else into casual conversation.  

Who are the clods bashing JD? He is the absolute best.

Probably the same ones who are still rocking Theriot and DeRosa shirseys and think "Horry Cow" is hilarious.


Also enjoyed how quick he was today with the Judge Smails reference upon seeing the biddies in the first row wearing hats that may or not have come with a free bowl of soup (looked good on them, though).
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

I can't remember where I saw the other comment.

Agreed, though. JD's the tits.

I never thought I'd ever love a color guy more than Borb, but here we are.

Now if we could just get that drooling idiot Coomer out of the radio booth...

This was my favorite of Some Random Internet Guy's comments (he's answering someone who suggested he has the two sides of town confused):

QuoteMy work on Hawk and Steve is out there.

Len Kaspar [sic] is a great play by play guy. Might be the best in baseball. But JD...he's just keeping the seat warm for Kerry Wood.

What, have you not already heard Midwest_Elitist's thoughts on baseball broadcasting?  Where have you been, man?
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

Also very listenable: Vin calling the Cubs series which I look forward to every year (sorry, Len and JD). Glad he's coming back for another go.

A dark horse candidate for this thread if there ever was one: "As smooth as Ron Coomer's massage oil"

Ron Coomer, however: still very unlistenable.

Last night after Schwarber's missile back through the box:

"He almost Charlie Browned that guy."

I don't hate Len and JD having Patrick Mooney in the booth with them.  He seems intelligent and thoughtful and fits in very nicely with them.
Your toilet's broken, Dave, but I fixed it.
