For the all the bashing he gets, Bob Carpenter is actually a great guy. I got to meet him again, and someone asked about the whole MASN thing and he started bashing the joint broadcasts for the Nats-O's games and said the novelty was long gone. I like how he makes himself accessible and interacts with fans at events like there.
Bob's a good guy, and exceptionally knowledgeable about baseball, and possesses a good intellect.
