Keith is plenty good. Love Moreland. Glad he's back

 

[Matt Cotcher]

New pitcher is sophomore Tyler Hanson, a RHP from Savage, MN. He goes 6'2", 218.

Rumored to have gone through a 12-step process for a Lucky Charms addiction.

Late again to the festivities, but I think the Zonk aND Zeke show in the both would be an analyst wet dream

The Duke is up and throwing. Looks like KC is done.

Let Moreland be the play by play guy. He had experience in that role both with the Horns (when Craig had been away early in the season)and in his duties with the Cubs. Zeke is your color guy as he is your less polished broadcaster but still incredibly good in the role as defined. The odd man out is kevin dunn,which I think you take care of by expanding pre and post game coverage.
