I don't think it's nit picking, with all due respect. I think he's getting lucky today. But luck or no luck, I'll take it, he's doing well enough. On a day like today maybe this is his philosophy, make them hit it, even if they do crush it, because it probably won't go far.
He's just awful. I can't listen to him anymore. I'd be better off by turning the radio off and guessing what will happen than hearing him explain the plays.
As for Stubbs, I like what's going on right now. I'm not criticizing, but how'd he not get a triple on that? It did look like he was grimacing on 3rd base in the first inning after his SB. Hope he didn't pull anything.

The wind is blowing in at like 25 MPH. You think the pitchers don't know that and are just trying to pump the zone and get fly balls? I am not one who puts much into pitching to the score, but you can pitch to the weather. Hard contact today isn't likely to turn into much because the wind is going to kill the ball. Castro probably hits that ball 425 feet on a normal day. Today it went about 350. The pitchers know it and are pitching to it.
Just tuned in. Looks like Homer's line is 3 innings, none earned. Is he responsible for errors too?
