Pittsburgh Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown
Greg Brown was left disheartened as his sighs of sorrow could be heard by the audience watching New York Yankees vs Pittsburgh Pirates broadcast. Pittsburgh Pirates are definitely not the worst team in the major leagues but unfortunately when they lack confidence, they do let the opposition hammer them from all directions.
The Pittsburgh Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown has been given the unenviable job of watching Pittsburgh baseball all year. The year has only provided a few exceptional performances but the second-worst run differential in the league? The silence was Greg’s only strategy as the Yankees unloaded on the Pirates.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have had a season record of 34-48, resulting from the habit of losing by significant margins. In recent weeks, they’ve lost 10-4 to the Atlanta Braves, 14-5 to the Chicago Cubs and 19-2 to the Milwaukee Brewers. The recent home game 16-0 loss to the Yankees, discouraged the entire surrounding.
Pittsburgh Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown displeased after Giancarlo Stanton hits HR
“This is ridiculous”, that is all Greg Brown could state after he saw Giancarlo Stanton hit one deep into the stands. The ball flew over the right-field wall to the Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Josh VanMeter. That was the extent of his home run call.
In the replay, his broadcast partner said, “At some point, it’s almost like you’re watching a softball game.”
“It’s a joke,” Greg Brown replied. Wouldn’t each and every fan feel the same way?
It is indeed frustrating for the fans to turn up to the game just to see a guy go out there throwing pitches you’d see in a home run derby instead of a competitive game. The second baseman’s inning ended with him giving up six runs on eight hits.
Pittsburgh Pirates broadcaster couldn’t hold back his exasperation, “This is ridiculous. … It’s a joke. This is Major League Baseball? It’s a joke. … They gotta quit doing this. I’m not talking about the Pirates, or other teams. I think the Cubs or the Tigers used three position players in one game.”
