May 15 at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, MO
Fox Sports Kansas City
When you settle in to watch your favorite team play a baseball game and in that baseball game they proceed to turn a 2-1, sixth-inning deficit into a 12-1 loss, you try to look for any sort of positive thing. Fortunately, I got a chance to listen to Rex Hudler.
The backbone of this site is absurd broadcasting, and Rex Hudler may be the captain of the Absurd Broadcasting Bearcats semi-pro team. I had listened to him several times in the past when he was with the Angels and all Rexford did was pack his bag of nonsense & take it with him to Kansas City.
Let's spend some time with Mr. Hudler, shall we?
* He's a huge fan of using the word "cheese" to describe certain pitches and how a pitcher is trying to sneak that cheese by a hitter. Cheese, hunger & denying food to hungry hitters are all big themes with Rex Hudler. The man is obsessed with food and who is hungry and the possibility that a pitcher would not allow a hungry hitter the ability to eat.
During a Michael Pineda vs. Alex Gordon at bat: "Let's see if he tries to sneak some cheese by Alex."
After the at bat ended (Gordon doubled): "Pineda tried to sneak a piece of cheese by a hungry rat."
Later in the inning: "The Royals hitters are hungry!"
Same inning: "Infante with a triple with a big steak attached. A juicy one, a rib eye."
* No mention of food here, but this is something Rex Hudler said about the Yankees offense:
"They've been hitting some home runs, especially Ellsbury and A-Rod."
Alex Rodriguez has nine home runs, so well done, Rex. He's been hitting some home runs.
Ellsbury? He has one home run and he hit it on April 24.
Somebody get Rex Hudler a cheese sandwich, he doesn't know what he's saying!
* Some Random Rex:
"The Moose, he's loose tonight"
"Frenzy hitting"
"They're all dangerous hitters, and they all have a license to drive"
"Two-out lightning"
Nicknames that aren't really nicknames
"The K" is not a nickname for Kauffman Stadium. You merely put a 'the' in front of the first letter of the stadium's name.
