Remy does color commentary.

Edited .... Nevermind realized you said National broadcast.

Jeff Brantley's love for the Yankees is particularly galling, partly because I'm biased, but mostly because it's completely lunatic. 'There's something about Yankee Stadium, the monuments just make things happen for them'.

Sure do, Jeff. I do love his 'nothing feels like coming out of the bullpen at Yankee Stadium'. How exactly would Brantley know, considering he never threw a pitch at Yankee Stadium in his career?

EDIT: I tell a lie, Brantley pitched twice, yes, that's 2 times, at Yankee Stadium, both on interleague trips with the Phils in 2000 and 2001. He had a perfect inning in 2000, but there may be clues why Brantley believes in the ghosts so strongly:

Code:

                             H  HR   R  ER  BB   K  
Brantley L(1-4)        0.1   4   0   3   3   1   0

I think the best color guy I've ever heard was the guy from the movie Major League opposite Bob Uecker. Classic line:

Uecker: Got anything to add?

Color guy: Uh... no.

Uecker: He's not the best color man in the league for nothing folks.
