Dibs has some things going for him: he can speak to being a pitcher, and how to play the game; he has an engaging (if, at times, brash) style and “says what we’re all thinking” to an extent. But Thom’s complaint (that Dibs is disputing to an extent? It’s hard to tell) is that Rob isn’t “reporting” enough. Sure, he’s the color guy, not a reporting, but keeping on the pulse of the team, talking to the players and coaches … we all what to get more impressions about what’s going on. I don’t get to hear the MASN broadcast every game—I’m usually on the radio (dammit, Verizon! hurry up with the FIOS!), but even so I’m noticing some repetition, “…we get it, the strike zone is small.” Is Dibs just using the same, somewhat limited, stock of material? Will he get old by the end of the season? He’s more interesting to listen to than Sutton, but Sutton had more interesting stuff to say, if that makes sense.

..but it’s just way to the heck over there and looks like a pin point.
