McCarver Madness

Emerging from whatever rock I've been under...

Following up on "Madden Madness," I feel the need for "McCarver Madness." Tim McCarver is the "top" baseball analyst for Fox, handling the Red Sox/Yankees series right now. A few year ago, on a 3-2 count, I swear he said:

This is an important pitch. If it's a ball the hitter will
walk. But if it's a strike he'll be out.

During Game Six last night, McCarver let loose this gem:

A walk is the same as a home run.

OK, Tim. Whatever. Sadly, I think he was serious.

By the way, my nomination for this week's Madden Madness came during the first half when he said, "Marshall Faulk is a master at finding the soft spot." But I'll leave the official award presentation to Mike.
