More or less pointing out mistakes a player would make in fielding a ball or perhaps a decision for a player to bunt in a situation that was uncalled for. I can't ever think of a time where he directly called out the owner or manager or anything other than to say something like "Yost needs to tell this guy that he has to get the bat on the ball" or "Yost needs to havet his guy do a hit and run because he is struggling and that always helped me when I was struggling at the plate"

In other words Frank called the game from the position of an 8-time gold glove winner with a World Series ring who lolved the Royals, loved Kansas City and wanted to see them make us proud. And he was always classy.

So the broadcaster showed more knowledge than the organization got it. That's pretty embarrassing and must have stopped a few from coming out to T-Shirt night in July with the team 15 games under .500.

As far as announcers go, I have heard more negative people than Frank. Far less negative and far less classy. Frank never got irate or upset or started flying off the handle. He was always calm and cool and would say "if Olivo stands two steps back and let's the ball come to him he makes the tag at the plate". People would learn more about baseball listening to Frank for a few games than they ever would anyone else.

Exactly.

As Frank said in his interview today, he tried to point out the things that the average baseball fan/viewer might have missed. Apparently, that did not set well with someone. His hope was the viewers would learn a little something they may not have known.

He told his perspective of things from the second basemens view on all the defensive stuff. It was enlightening to know how different and specific each position is
