Colo Commentary Complaints

While watching the Colorado telecast over the last three games, FF is ready for a new crew in the booth to spell the tired routine of play-by-play guy Drew Goodman and color commentator George Frazier. We're the first to admit that it's tough to find an opposing crew tolerable. But some of the nonsense that has been sent over the airwaves is baffling. In game 1 of the series, the pair were discussing Randy Wolf's high pitch count and its impact on the no hitter he had in tact. Frazier tried to argue that Wolf's pitch count of around 80 was effectively double that because of warm ups before the game and between innings. There has also been the incessant whining about "cavernous" Petco Park. Everyone knows that the field is ginormous and clearly the pitchers park in the big leagues. It's just hard to listen to any criticism from a team that plays in Coors Field, which once made Dante Bichette seems like a world beater. Sure, it's better now with the assistance of a humidor, but the broken bat home runs it once surrendered should be a permanent barrier to anyone in the Colorado organization complaining about the play of another park. We won't even start on the positive accolades for FF's least favorite NL umpire, Bob Davidson. All told, the crew is still 1000% more tolerable than Tony Kornheiser.
