Pretty sure McCarver is either sick or had surgery or something...I kept hearing announcers wishing McCarver well and hope he gets back in the booth soon.

I hope he is ok, but Buck and McCarver has always been sleepy time for me. Buck isn't exactly Al Michaels in there.

how do you not bunt in this situation? every player i don't care how big and fat or what position you are...should know how to sacrifice.
