A baseball just died. Wow.
Cozart fans. Kershaw is good. But the Reds lead 1-0.
Intellegent and well-spoken? Yes. Educated? Eh, I guess if you count Michigan as a real university.
But he rambled on and on at that speech, he thanked Jim Bowden and the Washington Nationals over and over, despite knowing knowing JimBo is persona non grata around here.
And based on his output so far tonight, I'm still not impressed.
You can be a great player, well spoken, well educated, etc. and not be a great commentator. One doesn't guarantee the other.
Sometimes, there ARE homeruns that are only gone at Great American.
This was not one of those times.
Did they say first HR surrendered by Kershaw to LHB in 200+ innings? That's rare air.
Rounding third and heading for home...
