The level of hate in this thread is hanging around an 8.  We need to bring it down to a 3.

 

I do not like this comment. I've been a poster for a very long time. 

 

 

Because he's not Tommy Hutton.

 

And not as expensive as him.

Sometimes you get what you pay for

 

 

There will never be a good reason for Tommy's dismissal or the way it was handled

You mean Jose !?

 

 

I plan on asking the same two questions every twitter tues:

 

1. Where is Tommy?

 

2. What happened to Ed Lucas? Did he go to Darthmouth?

 

He probably had to settle after not meeting the stringent requirements for FSU.

 

 

Is Preston today's commentator?

 

Yes he is. Eduardo Perez will do the Nats series, Leiter the Mets one

 

 

Just sent Samson an email about how Preston needs to be fact checked

 

 

It was pretty funny when he totally made that part up about Bour going to the opposite field more at the end of last year.

Equally funny when he has no idea what Chen's strengths/weaknesses are and just made it up

Another great moment was when he said JD Martinez didn't want to be terrible anymore and decided to be good. Expert analysis

I hope Preston decides the same thing sometime. 

 

 

Dr B is definitely right about one thing here. The most annoying thing he does is keep repeating "I do (or don't) like this pitch in this situation." It's always some vapid nonsense that nobody gives a fuck about.

Preston even makes @Dr Beinfest and [uSER=860]@el penguino[/uSER] agree, wow

 

 

The best one was "Ozuna is not going to get a change up, he should be ready for the fastball because the pitcher is going to go right after him"  wouldn't you know, the very next pitch, a CHANGE UP on the inside edge Preston's response "you know back in the day, he would have thrown a fastball and gone right after him".. It's like really dude??

 

 

He provides 0 actual analysis. It's all fluff or even worse just made up. For instance, not once did he mention that Chen is a fly ball pitcher & his transition from Camden to Marlins Park etc...Things like that

 

 

 

That looks exactly like the Miami Marlins logo... I'm gonna put in a complaint about copyrights.

Preston Wilson = Hitting Coach In The Making.

 

 

Do you guys realize how much hilarity is ensuing after just one game of Preston? Yeah he sucks but he's gonna be a twisted fun throughout the season. I can't stop laughing at some of these gems. Suddenly I can't wait to see what he says today!

Eh, too much risk in being misinterpreted.

"One thing Chen is really good at is pitching"   yes, I mentioned that was my favorite Preston quote of the night in the game thread but it was just too appropriate to omit here as well. 

 

It was seriously awful, atrocious, and terribad all rolled into one.  I couldn't stand him, the wife couldn't stand him, and I've yet to see ONE person side with him or say to ease up.  Yes, I realize the internet is rife with bullies and trolls but to not have a single supporter?  Wow. 

 

I loved Preston as a player but some people just can't hack it in the booth as more than an occasional inning long "guest"  and he's one of them. I'm also pretty sure he had a serious stuttering problem as a child, not trying to pile on, but I honestly think that is probably why his delivery sounds like microwave popcorn.

What really pisses me off is his obvious lack of preparation/research. If he was prepared and actually knew what he was talking about I think he'd be more than adequate.
