Baseball drama is created by situational awareness and accurately commenting on that with insight and knowledge. And that isn’t Thom’s strength.
    Maybe if Thom had Facenda's vocabulary and his play-by-play was set to a rousing orchestral Sam Spence score, we'd be onto something.

    Thom has been odd this year. He is infatuated with Nikko Goodrum and always points out Chris has a website.

    All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

    Don't forget about Thom's podcast!

    And Chris mentioning that Jim Day also has a podcast, followed by Thom saying "yes, of course"

    I'd like to hear a little more about where Kyle Schwarber is from. Don't keep it a secret!

    I wonder if this universal disdain for Thom here isn’t universal in the general viewership. I don’t listen to him so I have an opinion. But this issue seems like only thing there’s real agreement on on this board.

    Isn’t it Centerville or Medianburg or something?

    Have the Reds failed to get a bunt down yet? That's always good for about 40 minutes of bloviating.

    I can't stand Thom, however, the barely hidden hostility between him and Welsh has quietly become one of my favorite things about the TV broadcasts. It's frankly gotten hilarious.

    There was a beautiful one last night with Thom going on and on about Cody Reed pitching from both sides of the rubber. Finally Welsh was like..."I did that too."

    On and on the other night and then the hitter singled and the runner scored from second base.

    I have friends who don't care one bit, they just don't see it. I have some other friends that are friends with his wife and say Thom is just peachy, my wife passed him walking one night in Terrace Park and was tempted to tell him how much I am bothered by him, but she texted me instead
