I wish I still loved this show

I want to like this show as much as I used to. There are just other options that are more entertaining. I think Buster is my biggest problem. He thinks way, way more highly of himself than anyone else does. His 5-part series on Josh Hader is the epitome of everything wrong with Buster. He just absolutely loves the sound of his own voice and he thinks he’s a genius. That Hader series was sooooo much longer than it needed to be, and it wasn’t nearly as big of a deal as Buster seemed to think. You could hear him clearing space on his shelf for the Pulitzer that he thinks he deserved. The rest of the world was hitting fast forward to get through 10 minutes of mediocre, frankly inconsequential content that was stretched across an hour. I’ll stick to Baseball Today and Talkin’ Baseball until the show finds its old rhythm.
