My biggest complaint is that one of the "tough plays" that you actually see good fielders make *more* often than bad ones is the "Bob is running around... he goes to his left... now to his right... to his left again... AND MAKES THE CATCH!" Folks, that's not a description of an outstanding defensive play. That's a description of Glenallen Hill making a routine catch. A great defensive play would be some kind of sinking liner that the player catches on a dead run, or a sliding/diving catch, or jumping on the fence to rob someone of a homerun. Not misjudging a flyball but eventually figuring out where it's going.

And yeah, the inclusion of DAED and battist is funny at first but gets kind of old pretty quick.
