"So Hoiles was having trouble with his chest protector. He asked for help, weeping like a baby, the poor guy, but for some strange reason I could only straighten it out by standing in front of him and... reaching... around... his shoulders... like so."

The most amazing thing there is that ESPN was paying Harold Reynolds $1mn a year. Jesus.

Even worse -- that means the Krukker probably makes TWO MILLION per year.

Last night, Baseball Tonight presented the Krukkie Awards, which was horrible.

Harold was the most knowledgeable analyst that has been on "baseball tonight" and the one whose opinion i respected the most, right up there with Peter Gammons. i wonder if the action "espn" took would have been the same had he been accused of sexually harrasing a man? fight back, get your job back, quit and go to fox and replace mccarver. -- Doug

And at the end of the year their OBP is always going to be higher than most of the other guys on the team because they clog the bases.

Lifetime runs scored/162 game average of all the base cloggers mentioned in this post (and, what the hell, let's throw the nonclogging-specialist author in the mix, too):

Adam Dunn: 99
Jason Giambi: 97
Adrian Gonzalez: 95
Dave Kingman: 75
Harold Reynolds: 75

We could also discuss how the quoted sentence does not really make sense.

I was sure this revive wd be about HR's interview with Bill Clinton on MLB tonight, which I flicked away from in a big hurry. Intellect meets Integrity.

(xposts) All true. Just trying to give him credit for one thing he had exactly right, and instantaneously--even one of the two managers didn't know the rule.

HR is particularly bad, yeah, but that describes every sportscaster ever.

HR is dumbfounded that chase darnauds band played @ bonaroo on an offday

The Chase d'Arnaud Band was born, who have a sound that the group's namesake says is best defined by its "bandwidth."

"It's like James Taylor meets Crosby Stills & Nash meets the Beatles meets the Rolling Stones meets Def Leppard meets Metallica," d'Arnaud said.
