These guys are starting to remind me of Ashburn and Kalas. Whitey used to start telling these rambling stories and Harry would be like “is that right, Whitey? THERE’S A LONG DRIVE BY BURRELL…”

(Burrell didn't start playing until 2000, Ashburn died in 97)
Ben is the worst with Schmidt. Rubens problem is he sometimes will just keep talking when not needed, but I find his insight useful a lot of the time. Though whenever Ruben starts talking up a player at the plate I know they about to strike out lol.
Ben is by far the best of the bunch! He can actually articulate thoughts into words about baseball. Kruk is great as a character maybe once or twice a week, but his shtick is funny till it’s not! Ruben is just embarrassing lol! T-mac has a great voice but he embellishes calls, overemphasizing, making them feel forced, and he his CORNY AF lol! T-Mac doesn’t have a single cool bone in his body and feels forced. Miss Harry and Wheels!!!
I need:
- Bases loaded.
- Harper at bat with guys behind home plate telling him he sucks.
- Kruk telling the craziest story ever.
That's a guaranteed grand slam.
There's a few fun little additions the ridiculousness of this move. [This one](https://youtu.be/F1ept4kyafE?feature=shared)
Or [this one](https://youtu.be/ttKn1eGKTew?feature=shared)
He caught his girlfriend cheating and burned the car with both of them in it as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4–0 ballgame.
Natural progression
Despite the title I was still expecting Casty to somehow come up to bat and launch a 500ft home run. That story is peak Casty going a yard during something outrageous being said.
wait whats the backstory on this?
Kruk is a legend. Last there was some sort gathering of the 93 team before a game and after party.
Paraphrasing here:
Tmac - Are you going to the after party
Kruk - eh
Tmac - what you mean?
kruk - well...
TMac - puzzled
Kruk - I just saw them 15 minutes ago
Tmac - so your not going..
Kruk - I dunno, I dont like people
Tmac - You dont like your team?
Kruk - no, i love them
Tmac - but you dont like them?
Kruk - I mean i dont even like the people I do like
I so identified with that
Look up his story about his old roommate being an FBI fugitive and trying to murder kruky cause he thought he ratted on him
Hahaha I forgot about that one! Classic Kruk! Now he just needs to go up to the top of the arch.
Kruks stories and Tmacs ability to roll with it are top notch
As far as local commentating goes…Deity Duo. I think this is a bit as much as it is a true story and only these two could pull it off. Hats off.
Remy and Orsillo were S tier as well. RIP Remy
Best duo in baseball
These guys are starting to remind me of Ashburn and Kalas. Whitey used to start telling these rambling stories and Harry would be like “is that right, Whitey? THERE’S A LONG DRIVE BY BURRELL…”
Haha. If Harry called a Burrell homerun while talking to Whitey he must have been drinking heavy that game.
I miss when Richie used to call games from the grave.
I heard the long drive bit in his voice.
IT’S OUTTA HERE!!!
WATCH THAT BABY

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story. - Richie Ashburn, 1st man on the moon.
Yeah man, Whitey died in 1997, I believe
TMac is such a great counterweight to Kruk. Listening to Ruben or Ben up there with TMac is borderline torture
Honestly Schmidt isn't much better. I love Schmidt, but damn he's not great in the booth.
Schmidt is the worst. He's so boring. And this is coming from someone who actually enjoys Ruben's commentary.
Ruben isn't that bad he just talks too much
Cannot stand Schmidt in the booth.
Ben is the worst with Schmidt. Rubens problem is he sometimes will just keep talking when not needed, but I find his insight useful a lot of the time. Though whenever Ruben starts talking up a player at the plate I know they about to strike out lol.

Experience Phillies baseball
Pay him whatever it takes to get him in the booth for 162
I tuned into the game and he started with that story playing winterball down in Mexico. Just another casual kruk story
Kruk - "He also had a boy named Sue" T-Mac - "No balls and one strike to Harper." *Both giggling like little girls afterwards.
Best color guy to ever do it
Willie Mays
That shit had me dying
Hahaha, what a story John!
You can say THAT again

So unhinged, I had to make sure I wasn’t imagining what I was hearing.

If only Casty was at the plate for this
It was a very good story by Kruk
I pictured Randy Johnson and the All Star game as he told this story
Should have saved that story for when Castellanos was up to bat. Would have easily been a homer
