These nicknames hearken back to about 30 years ago when Chris Berman on ESPN was topical and funny. SportsCenter and Baseball Tonight were must-see back in the pre-internet days. His nicknames were not really nicknames but they were often entertaining. I always liked Bert "Be Home" Blyleven.

Baseball Tonight was appointment TV for me in the late 90's- 2000's... Couldn't go to bed without knowing what the web gems were that particular night!

What was the screaming baseball's name? 

 

[BoofBonser]

C'mon Bert seriously, it's the easiest name you've had all year and you still mess it up!
"Andrew Cashneer"

What just happened? Did that ball go to the right-field side of second?

They always grow louder when they are about to feed on... er nevemind.

[Vanimal46]

No TV broadcast on FSN? The Texas broadcast is blacked out on mlb.TV for me....

Phil "Mcrib" Hughes.

3 walks and a single, somehow still haven't scored...

To be fair, Kepler also should have walked, and that would be a run.

Phil "Mcrib" Hughes.

 

Yes!! Winner. I'm using this nickname from now on for Hughes.

Dozier really killed that inning

Wind blown

[Dozier's Glorious Hair]

All those walks, and Grossman's not even in the lineup. That just seems wrong.

Understandable he wanted to get things going.  But turned out to be huge.  A guy throws you 4 straight balls, maybe see if he walks the next guy?

I know there's a limit on "likes"; wonder if, there's a limit on:     ????

[GCTF]

Exciting

[snepp]

ATHLETIC!

[Jerr]

Take that Gomez lol lol lol!!!!!

[Mill1634]

Heck of a play

[Mike Sixel]

Impressive they managed not to score there. Not every team could do that.

[twinssporto]

SANO!  

 

Sano Gold 

[Aggies7]

Simply absurd play

[bighat]

Choo just "pulled a Dozier"!

[Twinsbar107]

So far, this game has an odd feel to say the least.

[USAFChief]

Sano's got an arm.  big league play right there.

Look, we got a "big" hit last night. Can't expect them every night or every week for that matter. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so big now would they?
