Baseball Isn’t Boring
The Life Of A Postseason Broadcaster, By Brian Anderson

You don't know the opponent yet because the wild card series is yet to unfold.

So then you can do a lot of work on – I don't need to do the work on the Brewers because I've seen them.

And if a pitcher is shutting out the Brewers, it's from the Brewers' hitting perspective, not the pitcher's pitching perspective.

It's two perspectives.
