I posted my ideas a year ago and I'm still in favor of some flavour ;)

If it goes live I will have plenty more suggestions.

Steve can you share us what kind of mechanics you have there?

It would good if at least some of the colorful commentary would be things that actually are there or happened.

For example, <player x> - last year ba .309 comes in to pinch hit.

Or <player y> hits home run for 489 yards, thats his 9th homer of the year.

 Beat me to it, motko, I was actually planning on asking about that after the flip.

 But yeah, having an idea of the framework you have in place would help quite a bit. I’ve already got a text file started up with some stuff, and I’m going to need to know how to format it for you at some point.

Anyways, what if the commentator mentions the streak a player is on.

For example, (player A) is hot right now, going 25 for 40 in his last 12 games.

Yeah, 489 yard homer would be 1,467 feet, setting the record by quite some margin I believe.

Or if a pitcher is doing well:

The (x)s/(x city) cannot figure out (pitcher) tonight! They've had (x) hits through (x) innings.
(Pitcher) is only (x) outs away from having a/completing the (complete game/shutout/no-hitter/perfect game)
And that's (10/15/20) strikeouts!

Or if a player has a career-high in a statistic:
That's (player)'s (x)th home run/hit/RBI/stolen base this game! A new single-game best!

Most of what I would suggest I think is on the obvious side.

- have some ground rule doubles.
- adjectives on balls in play (sharp liner, lazy fly ball, slow roller ... Always loved the "Texas leaguer" in Microleague Baseball)
- adjectives on defensive plays (easy grab, diving catch, strong throw)

Maybe have the manager go to the mound before the new pitcher comes in to pitch?

Not sure how possible this is, but something like "There is action in the Waterloo bullpen" as a pitcher approaches his hook or pitch count.
