Yeah, it's Sciambi. He seems nice enough, albeit he was a bit obsequious in talking about how great the local broadcast teams are (and defensive about how home team fans criticize national announcers…dude, we've heard Doug Glanville. It's not just "he's not Keith", trust us).
And I do know that he can let a game wander. (That Cubs-Phillies game I checked out in the vain hope the Scrubs could delay our elimination was a complete mess. Only good news is that I learned Philly is the only press box where they have actual ice cream…every place else is that "soft serve" crap. Which, wtf, people? Seriously, wtf?) So I'm not too excited about him and Dougie, even if there was a refreshing lack of Michael Kay.
Good game, though. Some awful defense early (Vientos not knocking down a soft chopper from the 1st batter, Frankie TWICE being so concerned about holding a runner at 2b that he didn't properly cover the hole, a botched relay set-up leaving 2b uncovered), but the offense responded immediately both times the Brewers scored and there were some excellent cases of going with the outside pitch by Vientos and JD that kept rallies going. And the pitching did a fine job of hunkering down when it needed to.
And apparently Jesse Winker and Willy Adames are old friends, going back to last season as "teammates". That was some serious woofage going on.
Big win, no Diaz, as it should be. One more, please.
