Those of us who prefer being told from the radio, what’s going on, strategy, why’s and wherefore’s of what’s happening, think Physioc is one of the best radio announcers around.

His style of calling the game is very classic and old school. A reserved coolness letting the moment tell the story instead of tired idiotic phrases made up for P.R. purposes. “The Royals Win” accompanied with a roaring crowd will always be all that is needed. The rest is just jibberish for the ADHD crowd.

Great time. On way home heard Denny’s call of the walk off. New low. With no raising of voice or hint of happiness, “ground ball to left field, single, Cain will score and Royals win the game.”

The worst is that he thinks listening to 20 to 30 seconds of crowd noise is good radio. NO OTHER RADIO ANNOUNCER DOES THAT. It is so strange that he is bad on play by play because he is very good at just talking baseball.

A very well known ex-Royal told me in about 2000 that Matthews was bored broadcasting baseball and the Royals should have kept Fred White and let Denny go.

I think Ruan is good. Hud is a joke.

Also, the real point of my comments on this topic were to poke a little fun at those that constantly must point out what is going to happen later while disallowing any joy at the current good fortune.

Zobrist had a 15% walk rate as a minor leaguer, Whit was below 8%. There is reason to be very skeptical until Whit shows he can draw a free pass now and then.
