Totally Unlistenable

[Saul Goodman]

The Dodgers broadcast pulled off the impressive feat of getting three things wrong within two minutes. They first said the Cubs have recently learned how to draft because they've been drafting awful and then turned it around and started drafting smarter. Kind of true, but Theo says hi. Then they renamed Albert Almora "Alberto Almora." And to top it off they said Almora is playing because Jason Heyward is taking the day off. Might want to ask someone what "split squad" means, guys.

You were probably still better off than listening to insufferable asshat Steve Stone in the other game.  I've never heard a commentator make it more about himself.  He was fucking horrible.

I think I was too busy marveling at Not Hawk Harrelson to notice.

I don't know who the guy was, but he was such a huge Stone-enabler that it was almost worse than Hawk.  Just horrible.

No. Jason Bennetti was almost listenable. He (an actual Flossmoor native) didn't go all homer rah-rah on his White Sox, yet you could tell it was their hometown call. He engaged Stone a lot, but cut the guy some slack. He's going to have to work with him 81 games!

Er, yes.  My problem was that he spent much of the game engaging Stone to talk about Stone.

I thought Benetti was actually pretty good. I missed all the Stone-on-Stone talk though. The Stone parts I heard were pretty much all about the Cubs. Which was nice.

You might say it was Said In Stone.

I never understood Yeti's beef with Stan Crewsett on Twitter, but then during that game he was talking about how brilliant Steve Stone was and how some team would probably pay him millions to leave the booth and run their scouting department and I am now converted. Fuck Stan. I can see why a guy who writes for Wrigleyville BP would be impressed by Stone's pseudo-scout pretentious bullshit, though.

Honestly I was so relieved that it wasn't Hawk that I was fine with it. 

I've learned to selectively tune Stone out so all in all I enjoyed the broadcast.

I thought he was fine. I'm also not expecting a guy new to the job to be Vin Scully.
