Harold Reynolds to return as baseball analyst for TBS

I’m pretty, pretty sure I once saw “Brief and Innocuous Hugs” ring up on the GbV song title generator.

Harold Reynolds, off national TV since being fired by ESPN in July 2006, is back working on national TV.

Reynolds will debut Sunday as a studio analyst on a special where TBS will announce the All-Star Game rosters. Then he’ll appear on TBS’ regular-season coverage.

TBS also is negotiating with Reynolds and Dennis Eckersley, now a studio analyst for local Boston Red Sox TV games, to work its postseason coverage of the first-round playoff games and American League Championship Series.

Just when I thought TBS couldn't get any worse...

Skip Caray needs a hug.

With Georgia losing the CWS, I think it's Chip.

Harold Reynolds is awesome. Too bad TBS is awful -- not even Reynolds can save it.

Did SNY already can Reynolds?

Reynolds is pretty good on mlb.tv

I guess I'm in the minority when I say that I thought Reynolds was pretty decent when he was on ESPN.

I actually think Reynolds is pretty well-liked around here.

I haven't even put together an opinion on the TBS crew ... it seems like everytime I remember to check out the Sunday national game, it's in a rain delay. I've seen more of Bill Engvall than Ron Darling.

The news about them potentially getting Eck for the post-season is pretty great, though - my only complaint is that it probably means NESN will be leaning on Jim Rice and Lou Merloni during their pre- and post-game shows.

I've really been groping for a top TV baseball analyst, so I'm touched TBS got their hands on Reynolds.

I never saw Reynolds on E.S.P.N., but I've read and seen him since. He seems to do a fine job. I'll check out the T.B.S. baseball coverage to see what he can do.
