When he was Carlton's personal catcher, he was able to handle all his pitches rather well, not to mention his batting stats which were more than adequate. The other mind is Tim as an announcer. He always appears to dump on the Phillies at any opportunity. He may of had a problem with management, but it comes off as if he hates the team as a whole.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766775162963853142.post-47808606969461090602010-06-28T14:46:58.045-04:002010-06-28T14:46:58.045-04:00Max - Still, it's no "Brandon Arroyo"...Max - Still, it's no "Brandon Arroyo".<br /><br />Brox - Didn't Deion dump ice water on his head?

It's just terrible listening to him bloviate as a broadcaster.
