I don't mind baseball but I question the conditioning to play it when lots of the players have the physique of sumo wrestlers.

Matt is really good at baseball. He's enhanced exponentially because Buck is so terrible.

What I find is the slower game pace suits Matt's PBP. During fast breaks he barely keeps up. Since baseball is played at a much lesser pace, he excels at it. Either way, he's grown on me. Used to hate him with the Raps but he's been a lot better the past couple of seasons.

The fact that you have to extremely over-exaggerate to get your point across shows me your premise is flawed.

I watch plenty of blue jays games a year, and you dont need to be that round in baseball. most players are overweight and can barely run. unlike in basketball where big guys are needed to protect the basket or in the football where big guys are needed to be blockers. Some guys in baseball are unnecessarily big and their is plenty of cases where the only times they are required to run (around the bases) they tend to blow out a leg. guys like CC Sabathia and Prince Fielder have made it a career of being overweight but still have a great career in baseball. I like baseball, probably not as much as you cause you want to call me out on this, but as a whole out of the 4 major american sports, a good amount of baseball players are probably the unhealthiest and not by committee. Soccer/Basketball/Hockey/Football are all required to be more physically fit than Baseball. Sorry but thats just the way it is.

I agree 100%.

Buck is the worst, just really boring and repetitive. Pat Tabler I don't mind so much, but Buck is an idiot - as evidenced by the disaster that was him managing the Jays for a season (anyone remember that failure)?
