If you stoop to this, you'll never work in this town again!

Unfortunately my cable provider does not carry MLB Network.

i don't have mlb network, but hopefully there will be some available on mlb.com video so that i can see if sean has a nice smooth baritone

because if he does, he's goin on my fantasy team

DVR is locked and loaded!

Sad to say, bbc, but they've decided that this is going to be the "Broadway Danny Rose" ep of CC, which means everyone will be taking hits of helium just before they speak...

Makin' the big time!

Break a leg Sean!

He has a voice made for administering websites.

Hopefully not the acne nor physical condition associated with said work.

I hope Sean sneaks in a Joe Buck jub jub-ian, BEHOLD!

Why everybody gotta hate on Intentional Talk? I know it's not the most sophisticated of productions, but I'd still rather watch that than look at internet porn, which is pretty much what all television shows are competing with for my eyeballs.

And a face made for data entry.

It's going to be 5 more years until television production companies realize that this has been true since 2001.

Go get 'em, Sean.

Sean, I'll give you five dollars if you mention Madeline Albright. Another five for Pavement. That's TEN DOLLARS.

Present a slideshow on www.historicfootballposters.com and I'll give you my entire pool winnings for the past two months. That's at least double Lassus's offer.

I saw the 730 CC today. Is it the same as the 530 show? Rob Neyer was on but not Sean.

I'm hoping Sean is on tomorrow.

"Got bumped to next week for clubhouse confidential"

That was the first time I've seen it (I don't watch a lot of TV, and DISH has only offered MLB Network for a few months).

It was disappointing that Sean wasn't on. On the other hand, what a fantastic ####### show.

I hope the host asks if there are any math majors in the house.

never seen it, don't know the first thing about it, but that is a great endorsement.(no snark or jokes)

but that is a great endorsement.(no snark or jokes)

It was intended that way. Today's episode featured Brian Kenny doing a nice assessment of the type of player filling the role of DH and how that compares to 1973 and what the expectations were (referring to work in The Book for some background), followed by an interview with Neyer on a handful of subjects, an interview with Beinfest on the Marlins' new spendy ways and a quick peek into Casey Kotchman and what to expect from him in 2011. It was informative as hell.

I hope the host asks if there are any math majors in the house.

Awesome. Wow.

oh dear and there goes all my fantasies about sean having a voice like barry white and sayin, cmere Baby Grrrl cuz time i do some in depth splainin all bout HOTTTTTTness ovah Replacement Dorx...

sean smith looked pretty smooth in the one pic i've seen of him. he's a lil too tall for my league, but if he got any kind of good voice and stage presence, he NEED to go on the show and represent

nothing keeps a geek sterotype goin like having a lot of guys on the show who look like, uh, geeks. all squeaky tenors, too.

maybe if mrs dr foreman looks anything like erin andrews, she could, uh, bring more eyeballs to the show

I've seen bits and pieces of the show but last night was the first one I watched start to finish and SoSH is 100% right. I think Brian Kenny saves the day, it would be easy for the host to come across as condescending and I don't think he does. It was a small thing but last night as part of the DH discussion they had a chart with OBP, SLG and WAR and after mentioning the first two he reference "WAR, or Wins Above Replacement." Just a quick line to tell people who didn't know what the acronym stood for and trusted the audience to understand the general concept, if not the specifics.

Agreed. It's a fantastic show, and Kenny is a large part of why that is.

"Got bumped to next week for clubhouse confidential"

Sucks that opening monologue and the segment with William H. Macy ran so long, but there is no shame in getting bumped on Clubhouse Confidential.

brian kenney is a really good baseball man. i always wondered why on earth he didn't have karl ravitch's job on BBTN. it's not like karl is HOTTT or something

what's good about brain kenny also is that he really knows his stat, but can communicate to a non-stat audience, and doesn't come across as a physics genius trying to teach 5 year olds to multiply and they can't because they can't get what "times" means

i wish they could get someone on there who is a ballplayer who is a good ballplayer, talks well and gets stat - and is not someone who looks like a dork wearing a team uni he bought (brian bannister or that reliever guy who was from MIT).

it would also help to have mainstream writers like dick justice, who at least actually GET stats - even if they have little (ahem) hangups about things like bud selig and roids. it is just my opinion, but i would bet that he would fall over his feet in his eagerness to have brian kenny's job...

Justice was on the show in studio last week.

huh, i thought most folks on BTF had seen the show. i like it a lot. brian kenny has a great personality for the show, because he looks and sounds like your basic tv sportscaster, very professional, not geeky and hasn't adopted a superior attitude because he's discovered something the dinosaurs don't get.

I'm surprised too. CC is easily the best baseball show around.

The first time I tuned in Brian Kenny was doing that segment where he is dressed in a judge's robe and is "passing judgment" or whatever, and I found it kitschy. But I guess that's the exception, I have it another shot and overall the show is exactly what I want out of a baseball show. Its a smart move by MLB Network, recognizing there is a niche audience out there. Try something different rather than the umpteenth show featuring two ex-ballplayers and a host opining, or worse yet those ESPN shows where a sportswriter sits and blathers on about the day's "hot topics." I don't get why some of these channels try to appeal to the mass audiences. Basic cable is full of niches now. Even the top rated shows on cable only draw a few million viewers.

Ken Singleton would be perfect for this.

Just got an email that my segment for @CHConfidential will air tonight. (all times ET) 5:30pm, 7:30pm, 12:30am, 3:30am, etc. ON the MLB Network. Set those DVR's.

I just watched Sean and Brian. Good job by both. Well presented and everything came off very well.

Nice job Sean! Would love to know how traffic changed on the site, or is it just preaching to the choir?

it all starts with bbc's review. we just have to wait til then.

I do occasional TV spots, can think of no blunter and more helpful critic than bbc would be.

i don't have the mlb network and would appreciate any link if possible to any footage. i've seen a pic of sean and he's a decent looking guy with the dork glasses that say BRAINZZZZZ!!

i'd like to hear the voice

of course, his audience is prolly male, so he doesn't need to be teh HOTTTTT but just the same, i'd like to watch a nice lookin guy who has a good voice and is comfortable talking and seems to be the kind of guy who would be able to listen without having to interrupt or start sounding like wilbon/kornheiser
