FOX Sports South Atlanta Braves analyst Peter Moylan joined the Midday Show to preview the team’s NLDS matchup against the Miami Marlins. But it wasn’t the breakdown of the series that was the highlight of the interview, it was the comments on Alex Rodriguez’s analytical skills that had all ears open.
If you remember back to last week, when the Braves swept the Cincinnati Reds, and A-Rod was on the call and it was still a scoreless game heading into extra innings? Rodriguez was adamant that both teams should’ve bunted in order to move base runners.
And when asked about it today, here is what Moylan had to say:
“Alex Rodriguez who, somehow, was one of the greatest players to ever play the game but has no idea how to play baseball,” Moylan told Andy and Randy.
“He went on about (bunting) for 15 minutes, and I don’t know the reasoning behind it as I said, but I just don’t feel like him talking about it is going to make people change their minds either.”
Andy explained how the Braves scenario wasn’t the only one A-Rod was off about. It happened in the Yankees game as well, where he would break down the game and say what he thought they should do, and it clearly was not something they would consider doing.
“My favorite was when he tried to break down the positioning of the umpires when they’re out making calls,” Moylan continued. “So not only is he a baseball expert, he’s an umpire expert, he’s a pitching expert.”
“Now look, I’m not taking anything away from what A-Rod did in his career; he was amazing. But, to have a guy talking about the game of baseball in prime time, who’s spitting out the stuff that he’s spitting out, I think brings no justification to our game. And it’s not growing it at all. We’re listening to a guy that has no idea…I think it’s a massive miss by MLB.”
Moylan said if you want to get real information or how the game has changed, listen to your local broadcasts instead.
“You miss out on–guys literally spend every waking moment with these players in a normal season so they get the nuances, they get the stories that people actually want to listen to. They don’t just want to have a guy sit there and reel off stats that he’s been able to read on the internet, or he’s been able to get a ‘sneak-peak’ guy that he knew played on the team five years ago…just talk about the way the game is played these days, and then the younger players and the way that the game’s improving, and the cool things that are happening rather than drawing on what you did that was cool 10 years ago.”
