Good positioning good call!

I know this is not why they do the job they do and are probably not looking for the recognition, but it would be nice for the announcer(s) to say Marvin Hudson made a great call, replay shows they are right most of the time, etc, etc. While replay is used ad nauseam to highlight the occasional missed call, use it now and again to give these guys some praise for doing an extremely difficult job. Throw em a bone once and a while.

I don't think we can get too picky. This is a thankless job and not getting ragged on means you had a good day. The fans watching wanna hear about the excellent play from Skip and Freese. Guys like us can appreciate the call from home. For once, we didn't click on a link and hear an announcer question the call to only be proven wrong.

I definitely see your point. Of course it's great to be praised. But I want to be praised by a partner, an assignor, or an evaluator. Praise from a coach, fan, or broadcaster is generally uneducated.

GO GUYS IN BLUE!!!
