Yes but what they lack in hitting and pitching they make up for with defense and base running.

I guess he thinks his job is to entertain us rather than simply calling the game so that the game can entertain us. So we get a lot of "Ers" and "Uhs" while he buys time to think of the next thing to say. Even the job of the color commentators is effected. I notice that with Greg Brown, the color commentators often bring up something they noticed and want to talk about. But when paired with Block, they usually just get to respond to whatever he is saying.
I can see that he may feel that he has to entertain the audience.

The Bucs are certainly not doing a very good job of it lately
