Was getting ready to douchebag him as he's been overexposed lately but listening to him do analysis during the ESPN game last night made it a better broadcast. I don't know if that speaks to how bad Mendoza is or if Ross is genuinely talented at it ( though to be fair , he has insights into the Cub a normal analyst wouldn't ) . Nice to have someone who played the game and could speak halfway intelligently about it .

Thinking back about the game last night you are right. He actually had thoughts on catching different pitchers. For example explaining some of the deception from Koji Uehara

David Ross sucks, nomination for shoutout denied. Will grant for Douchebag of the week though.

I was impressed with Ross's objectivity and willingness to call it as he saw it. He didn't hesitate to criticize Montero on a missed block of a wild pitch ("that was poor technique").

I was wondering if anyone else would post this. Ross could be on a broadcast any day. He did well and did not seem nervous at all. Isn't this how Kevin Millar got his start?

I am a tad sick of the grandpa Rossie tour. But I did enjoy some of his insights, and I thought it was funny when he "warmed up" Heyward in right from the bleachers.

I bet Geoff Blum wishes he had retired in 2005.

Chris Widger seems like an ample comparison.
