Thanks to PhillyFriar for the link. The radio feed for the Phils/FSU game is below.

If you're itching for a little baseball after a long offseason and multiple feet of snow, it's time to dust off our game chatter spikes and cheer on the JV as they take on the 6th ranked team in the NCAA. If you close your eyes, you can imagine Florida State's mascot to be as thoroughgoingly objectionable as the one of the Braves.
Early on, it's 4-0 Seminoles. 3-run HR surrendered by Monsieur Aumont

my Irish ur-ancestor fought the Seminoles with Andy Jackson in the 1830s and actually wrote a journal. It is a great thing to read, because it helps me understand why I am sort of predisposed to root against Florida State.
Small sample size, but tell me again why we handed Juan Castro (groundout, nearly a GIDP) a guaranteed contract when we already had guys like Cody Ransom (RBI double) and Wilson Valdez on hand?
sorry, you’re right, I’m a bit distracted here with finishing dinnertime here. Plus the audio is hiccupping. If Brown did it, it’s absolutely the case. MVP ROY here we come.
Does anyone else find it baffling and a bit charming that this announcer keeps referring to the memories and stories these players will have? It’s like the baseball version of Prairie Home Companion.

The box score is getting intense

The FSU announcer keeps referring to the Seminoles lead as a “deuce”. I’m snickering uncontrollably as a result because apparently I’m not past the age of 10.

Starters give up HRs, Phils’ offense gets in a big messy game. Sounds like spring!
the hell with speed. OBP kills.
I say a lot of those guys are clogging up the basepaths. It’d still be a gritty 6-3 score if Dusty Baker was our skip.
almost perfect, but the flaws make it prettier

What are the best things in life?
To crush FSU and hear the lamentations of their announcers.

whoo hoo, speed the plow! FSU is going right to the top of the 9th as we’ve exhausted these scholar-athletes’ arms.
THis is the kind of innovation MLB needs to consider. If you have a 7-run lead, you have the option of not batting and moving on to the next inning.
Don’t think I’ve ever seen a 7 out inning.

As discussed before, he’s toolsy. Just more proof. If he’s a lawyer, that would just be icing on the cake.

Whoose toolsy? Because I resent that implication. :|

This is waaaay OT, but the Seminoles’ mascot is actually approved of and liked by the Florida Seminole tribes. When the NCAA did their whole “ban offensive names and mascots” schtick a few years back, the Seminole tribes petitioned to let FSU keep their name and mascot, because FSU selected it due to the Seminole tribes having never surrendered to the US, and they liked that homage to their history.

Did the college kids have to use wood bats?

No, they let them use the aluminum bats.
