Pirates Commentator: They play softball over there in American League

[vyomguy]

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.

[onetrickpony]

fire him

[stevenash]

Who said it?
Brown or Neverett?

[mtneer1212]

It was either Neverett or Bob Walk.

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

[Brewers in 7]

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.

Because NL strategy is sooo difficult, right?

Double switch! OMG HOW'D HE COME UP WITH THAT?!?

Wow man, I take it you don't watch much NL baseball.

[pavyracer]

did he say if it was fast pitch or slow pitch softball?

[rsnnh12]

Wow man, I take it you don't watch much NL baseball.

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

[Dirty Sanchez]

All of a sudden the Pirates Commentators are talking trash...friggin for 20 years they've been MLB's bitch....kind of funny

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.

[Muscles]

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.

[Igetp2s]

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

[BRAVES1985]

let them have a week of enjoying being above .500

[RockyMiavia]

this is funny.

[jeffdane]

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