how did francoer become a broadcaster?

was never a great player, was infamous for being the dumbest guy in the league (after he got sent to the minors late in his career the teens pranked him into believing his teammate was deaf for an entire season) and he's not even a good broadcaster

frank thomas or pedro want to do it then sure you give them a shot and let them grow into it but jeff francoer????? who's nephew is he exactly?

He had a great arm. Actually, I think he's decent - gives a pretty good hitter's perspective.

The Braves first playoff game with Roñald Acuña Juñior, I just so happened to be spending the night in Atlanta as a long haul truck driver. I spent $1k on a great ticket and ubered to the damn game and booed with everyone else in the stadium as a BS strike 1 was called on a 3-0 count on Ronnie with the bases loaded, and then lost my mind with the rest of the stadium as he grand slammed the next pitch

It was all downhill from there for his career, but he always had an infectious enthusiasm for the game that shines through on the broadcast.

My favorite Braves color guy was always Joe Simpson... best known from his playing days as the guy holding George Brett back from the pine tar incident. He's super knowledgeable, and will call guys out on either team for not hustling, but I think he's retired now.

Hey TJ, nah, Joe does Braves radio

Do yourself a favor and listen to a World Series game with him announcing even if the TV is also on

Joe has gotten so emotional at how the Braves are doing this postseason and I love it so much

He is a Brave now as much as Skip and Pete were. Through and ****ing through. He's carrying that torch

Y'all can all talk amongst yourselves about dumb **** he said to lose the Braves TV gig and I don't ****ing care

I went to the gay bar by my home right after the sports bar where I watched Bama and Braves on cable that I'm not willing to pay for

I'm glad I live in Richmond Virginia, and I think anyone with an adverse view had better let me show them around town before they cement their opinion

A union welder Braves fan that I met at the sports bar gave me a fitted hat from his shop

Just got back from the Battery. Game was awesome. Maztek was superhuman. What a massive massive massive massive inning. I wanted him back out for a 3rd inning that's how dominant he was! And the NLCS Rosario had was just unreal. Was cool seeing the complete dejection on Buehler in person as soon as that ball left the bat

Scared to check as I have to root against it. Probably only $100 +3000.

I'll fire up the WS thread,. Im at me mums in Cali and massive storm coming in, have generators, but may have to conserve my hot takes.

Was going to take Atlanta against Boston on the premise the Sox can't go 5-0 in WS in last 18 years, but now taking Astros as redemption clean winning. They are winners. They are winners that cheated. Like the Patriots.
