I grew up listening to him call Dodger games (early 60's, listening to a radio in SLC when the signal got a good bounce); He's absolute magic behind the microphone. <br />---------------<br />I know Riggleman loves his L-R matchups, but Maxwell just isn't a ML hitter; He's great on defense, but he's got too many holes in his swing to ever be more than a #5OF, imo.BinMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-32595481937857685312010-08-07T12:50:06.615-04:002010-08-07T12:50:06.615-04:00Maxwell has a softball slow pitch swing.

Though I still remember the dinger he hit at the last game last year. I can't trash him. But I see what's distressing about him, especially as a lead off guy. And glad to see Brian gives Nyjer his due as a good lead off man. Now I want to hear Vin Scully call our game. Will he tonight? Maybe I'll watch with the radio on.JaneBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04882101532666365432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-49190004553948185022010-08-07T08:55:26.950-04:002010-08-07T08:55:26.950-04:00Yeah, I miss the analysis, too, LoveDaNats.
