Two Minutes, Well Worth It

The Mets' Sideline Reporter Has Far Too Much Occupational Swag For His Position

Happy I was able to make the play earlier. Happier I was able to tell the stories of the inspirational people of Houston in the process. pic.twitter.com/Ii3TxsnYlJ

Please, for the love of all that is holy (and thus inherently just given the traditionalist values of baseball), will someone get Steve Gelbs in a booth?! Before watching this clip I didn't know his name, and - to this second - I can't speak to his familiarity with the game. However, it feels like every broadcast I tune into makes it more and more clear that commentators don't truly need to know what the fuck they are talking about as long as they are talking about it with conviction. So, you tell me, is there anyone more equipped to fill dead air by speaking confidently about literally anything than the guy that casually barehanded a foul ball better than a vast majority of the players he's paid to cover while also undertaking the task of speaking eloquently about the public's response to a natural disaster?

​I think not, but - then again - I'm biased. I'd be trying to nap my way through the third inning of another tragic Mets' performance in early September, and the guy that made a web gem without even changing his pitch would probably provide the perfect lullaby with how cool and smooth he is under pressure.
