Marty Lays into Reds

[Spanky]

Sort of, but not exactly. Marty and Joe actually made a great team; Chris (and in his absence, Cowboy) does all the heavy lifting on the TV side.

Yea they both have to provide Thom insight from a players prospective as to why one of his annoying long winded rants is wrong.

When a team isn't playing well and losing, it looks like they are lethargic and going through the motions. Conversely when a team is winning and playing well they look energetic and look like they are playing hard. They probably looked great on Sunday when they were winning big.

This is pretty much the truth here. Teams can get in a funk and look apathetic or just straight up not focused. This usually leads to pressing which can look even worse. So hard to perform when everybody is uptight and trying to break out at the same time.
On the other side of that, when a team is winning and everybody is loose and performing, it’s a lot easier to have fun and look “engaged”.

According to Senzel, the Reds agreed with Marty's observations:

“The first two games, they came into our home ballpark and bullied us. They whooped us,” center fielder Nick Senzel said of the Rangers. “There was no energy. There was no other intent to do anything about it. That’s not good. We had to find a way to say, ‘Hey, this ain’t happening anymore.’ That’s what we’re doing.”

I’m late but I wanted to say that Trader Joes’ blistered peanuts are delicious.
