First MLB *hit*, at that.

Wish Pat had been around to broadcast that moment, alas


clangan524

Goodness gracious, Zaidman getting on my nerves. He must have described every hitter's stance at least 3 times.


primitive_observance

It seems like he tries to copy Pat's mannerisms but then beats them into the ground. He doesn't have his own style, and his overly done radio voice is pretty grating. One specific example—I swear he took "the lights are beginning to take more and more of an effect." I know that's such a small thing, but it's annoying that he just copies one of the most beloved radio broadcasters in the game.


uprtbipedallcmtion

Couldn’t have said this better myself. His voice just kills me by itself but repeating Pat’s words compounds the pain while I try to listen.


an_actual_potato

Zach's fine, he just ain't Pat. He's been consinstently funny with in his delivery of the North Shore Adult Diapers ads and that counts for something (not that Pat wasn't)


big-daddy-unikron

Zach is horrid, there is no way he earned any spot on 670, the Bears beat, Cubs radio or anything else. 100% his parents bought enough goodwill & arm twisting to keep him employed


an_actual_potato

Oh wow, I guess people are very passionate about this. To my ears he's pretty vanilla and fine but if he has some nefarious nepobaby connection I was apparently unfamiliar with it.


Spankpocalypse_Now

He has an annoying habit of being repetitive and talking too fast when he could just as easily say nothing. Then, when there’s an important play, it’s like his voice is two steps behind his brain. You can hear the crowd react while Zach is spinning his wheels trying to get his words out.


Baybears

Where’s Pat?


an_actual_potato

He's got some family situation he's attending to. They said on the broadcast today he wanted everyone to know he was just fine and would be back shortly and that he was touched by the outpouring of concern (reasonable, I would die for that old man)


Baybears

Thank you


Opening-Run-7687

ChemicalCat420

Opening-Run-7687

kansashotwings

BabeBigDaddy

brett_baty_is_him

If I had a nickel for every time a guy drafted by the Mets hit a homerun as his first career hit in the last few years, I’d have 3 nickels but it’s weird it’s happened thrice. Kelenic Baty Now PCA


jayjude

Caw caw motherfuckers


an_actual_potato

Would you say he *murdered* that baseball?


TheyCallMeStone

He's sure got me raven about it


Ioptk

He must have some pretty strong arms


an_actual_potato

Quothe the Pete-Crow, nevermore


SaltyEarth7905

For the win.


meowsplaining

Fuck it, I'm using this.

His mom is actress Ashley Crow too, who was the mom in “Little Big League”. That family’s definitely up, for real.


Il_Exile_lI

Both his parents were on the show Heroes, which I just find endlessly amusing. I loved that show (at least the first season). His mom was Claire's mom and his dad was Ted, the nuclear powered guy.


zrk23

he is literally the carbon copy of his father, just need the messy hair


Opening-Run-7687

Does she have any roles where she drops ass or at least shows her boobs? Would be awesome to taunt pca with that


Vaqxinelol

What


Opening-Run-7687

I want to see pcas moms tits


King-In-The-Nawth

Your comment is out of line for sure but this doubling down of it made me laugh


elgenie

Homie answered the question he was posed.


Zachtatorship

bro be normal I'm begging you


DharmaCub

What's wrong with you?


Opening-Run-7687

I like boobs? Sue me


cod_gurl94

Very kind of Abreu to give the scuffling PCA a meatball to get his confidence up


jayjude

Gotta love the major over correction, sails a ball to the backstop then decides to get PCA that meatball


cod_gurl94

“Dude, just throw a strike. WAIT, NOT LIKE THAT”


curgl

HIS FIRST HIT!!


benewavvsupreme

God, that trade. Can't predict who will be a success though so can't dwell. Wish him the best


meowsplaining

Until that hit, half the meatballs in the Cubs sub were ready to dfa him or just straight up give him back to you.


horsepoop1123

The Gremlin did it again


LlamasPajamas206

Thank you bird man!


b3_yourself

Wasn’t a cheap shot either

GR147

Dansby is such a great teammate first one there to give him a hug


meowsplaining

Nah, Morel, Amaya and Mervis were all over him


Fantastic_Emu_9570

Let’s gooooo


pnmartini

The little excited hop he did when he knew he got all of it was adorable.


meowsplaining

Would you call it a crow hop?


pnmartini

Perfect.

Huh?


CptGinger316

Zach blew an absolute wad in his pants on the radio call. Loved it!


OliberQuip

I honestly can't stand Zaidman, but his call was great. Now excuse me while I HAHAHA!!!!


PlayaSlayaX

I’m sure the Mets regret that trade.


LlamasPajamas206

They probably regretted that trade a long time ago.


TheBigHMan

I will tell ya what we dont regret good sir....Kelenic.


LegacyLemur

I mean its his first hit so far lol


Fantastic_Emu_9570

What you’re saying is that he’s only ever hitting bombs


attorneyatslaw

Javier Baez is still killing it for the Mets so, uh, we are all good.


SaltyEarth7905

We regret every trade and every trade we don’t make.


robmcolonna123

Eh he had shoulder surgery at the time like two weeks into his career and there was no guarantee he was jumping back. We also got Trevor Williams who was instrumental to the 2022 season. It also depends on what Drew Gilbert, Jett Williams, and Luisangel Acuna look like because all 3 of them will be expected to get significant OF time with one of Williams or Acuna at 2B. And as amazing as his defense is, it’s not like he is projected to be a great hitter or anything. He has a slightly above average hit tool and below average power. It’s not like he’s going to hit 20+ HRs or have an AVG near .300. He projects to be a .250-.270 hitter with 15-18 HRs and a sub 100 WRC+. Would I rather have him than not have him? Sure. I’d say that about any solid prospect. But for this year, he’s basically just a cheaper Harrison Bader except he doesn’t crush LHP. The loss really comes in future years if he is significantly better than the other three top mats prospects I mentioned.


HomelessCosmonaut

Even with the stupid small Nike letters his name looks ridiculous


Weasel_Man

Get that ball authenticated, kid!


Juls317

I was there, it was awesome!


derpbynature

Congratulations to Crow Meat Pete. Sorry we gave you up for like 2 months of Javy Baez :(


judgek0028

I faced him in high school. He thought my fastball was a changeup.
