When the Pirates scored twice to take a 3-1 lead, Joe Block said, "And the Pirates get those two back!" I know he was talking to Don Robinson in the booth but he should at least know the score. And as the Pirates were scoring those runs, Block was using his fake excited voice. Whenever he describes a big hit for the Pirates, he yells so loud that it doesn't sound natural. It sounds like he's trying to manufacture excitement. Which makes sense because he's always talking about other things so he just doesn't seem too invested in the game. But he knows he has to sound excited on big plays so he yells in what sounds like he's performing rather than reacting.
I don’t want to see anyone lose his job but I won’t listen to any game he does, and there must be others like me. The Pirates have to know he’s not very good and turns people off.

Game to resume at 6:10pm.

When we resume in a few minutes, Bucs have Reynolds at first with two outs in the 5th, Joe batting with no count. Bucs lead 3-1.

I mentioned before that I think his injuries set his development back. He looks like he’s all caught up now. He has the look of a confident player now. He’s going to be a good player for the next five years before we send him elsewhere.

I wanted to make a sophomoric comment but I decided to save the cheap laughs for you.
