people need to remember that he's not trying to appeal to the hardcore baseball fans that make up the majority of this thread. he's trying to convey the game and simplify the game to the average american.

Absolutely agree with your second point too. People just have knee-jerk reactions over him, and he appears on @awfulannouncing so often, because overall - he's awful.
I really do get why he's paid what he is to know as little as he does, etc. It's TV for Christ's sake, not your local basball sabremetrics circlejerk.
