Anybody seen Uncle Ray?

[Natsinpwc]

Don’t get to watch the post game shows anymore but I actually think FP would be good at that. And then get a new game color man. Of course I assume that’s a lower paying job so never happens. Or maybe they can higher another guy and rotate between the pre and post game shows and the game. Would be fun I think not listening to the same stuff every night during the game.

Think he was on the Cards also?

Just don't put it on the resume'.

He’s a shoe in with Carp then.

DeRosa is a superstar on the MLB channel. His name comes up (seriously) for manager job consideration. In other words, he's WELL beyond being a low paid post-game host on a shaky local cable network.

agreed.  He seems quick witted and thoughtful enough to play very well off FP.  I'd love to see a rotating booth where Charley and Dave do PBP on both radio and TV and FP, DeRosa, and maybe another color guy rotate as well.  Put Carp in the post-game if you feel loyal.

Mindfact?     When I was a kid, I remember Bob Prince rotating between TV and radio during the same game.    Of course, every game wasn't televised by a local outlet.

That's what the Braves used to do some years ago when they had a 4 man rotation that switched between radio and TV.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

I think the Yankees have a rotation of color guys - Leiter, O'Neil, Singleton, Cone - but keep the PBP guys at home.  Maybe it is just Waldman and Sterling (?) on the radio.

FP was a guest of Effectively Wild podcast. He was actually great and engaging. This is a great podcast overall too. FP segment starts st 31:19

I think this is where FP is at his best.

Can't listen to the pod right now, did he say anything of note about Ray being let go?

As hard as FP is to listen to most nights - I cannot imagine anyone having something new and different to say 162 nights in a row on the same topic.

Somehow, the really good announcers do!

Not to be hypercritical -- FP continually misuses the word "reactionary".  He means to say "reactive".

That was pretty entertaining...thanks...

Maybe some other outlet will hear that and hire him away from MASN...

It was basically all about sign stealing and related topics. One interesting thing he said was that there was a pitcher that he covered for the Nats for years that is no longer with the team (he wouldn’t say who) who basically came undone whenever there was a runner on second who he thought was stealing signs.

Gio?

[aspenbubba]

Gio?

that was who came to my mind

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Nah, Gio came undone whenever the hitter took 2 pitches.

That's exactly the type of info that SHOULD be incorporated into the Nats' broadcasts but of course will never be.

He's on twitter a fair amount these last few days.

gotcha, I'll have to try to listen to all of it.

I always forget about twitter, I'm glad to see most people are being very kind in their comments to him.

My guess is that we're going to hear an unfettered Ray this season via Twitter and maybe other outlets.

I thought you were referring to FP.    I can tolerate Uncle Ray anytime.
