    Pirates Commentator: They play softball over there in American League

    They dont play real baseball. They play softball over there in American League. Thats what the pirates commentator said in today's game against redsox...I think it was in bottom 6th inning.

    When Pirates have a winning season, they can talk. Until then they should keep their mouths shut.

    what did he say that was wrong, the AL is basically a softball game, no strategy involved, just hit the ball as far as you can.

    I watch plenty, and yes, there is a little more strategy than the AL, but its not like it takes a rocket scientist to figure it out.

    The whole "NL takes real strategy" thing is WAY overblown

    ^
    Like Ian Eagle when he used to call the NJ Nets.
    For 20 years they sucked ass, then they get hot for 2 years with Carter and Kidd, and all of a sudden the Nets announcers thought they were the Bird Celtics.

    I totally agree...this whole different strategy in the NL is way overblown. It is not that hard to figure out if you've been in the game long enough. AL > NL, simple.

    Do Pirates announcers even know what Major League baseball looks like?

    maybe other pirates fans can chime in, but, as a pirates fan, with their channel, I think the pirates announcers are idiots.
