You know, you'll hear prominent sports journalists / media personalities, who have ascended to their position because merit and luck, complain about the blogosphere because they're always bashing someone. Many times, it isn't justified...

...this isn't one of them.

There really is no reason why the second announcer in this clip, Jeff Brantley, a) was hired in the first place and b) should still have a job. I don't know how you can fail so basically at your main responsibility and still be employed.

It's the bottom of the ninth, the Reds are down by two, and Edwin Encarnacion is at the plate. Brantley rants about how terrible a hitter he is... until... just watch.

Marty's boy was right with Brantley during the rant.

As for the event itself, we Reds fans take our excitement where we can get it because it doesn't come very often.

It is the Reds broadcast of that walkoff HR against the Dbacks by Encarnacion. It is pretty funny.
