Ex-‘Baseball on Five’ presenters Jonny Gould and Josh Cheywnd still may not be on our TV screens, or broadcasting via a podcast as I had put forward as a suggestion<\/a> previously, but they have been reunited on the web in written form.\u00c2\u00a0 Josh has been writing a blog for ESPN America (formerly NASN) for a while now and this season his own blogposts are being complemented by joint\u00c2\u00a0articles with Jonny.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

In\u00c2\u00a0a series called ‘JC v. the Gouldfish’, the pair tackle a different baseball-related topic every month.\u00c2\u00a0 The first installment at the end of April focused on the pros and cons of fantasy baseball.\u00c2\u00a0 Anyone who watched even one show of Five’s MLB coverage will know which side of that debate Jonny was on.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0The most recent post\u00c2\u00a0for the end of May looked at the topic of whether promotion and relegation could\/should be introduced to MLB.\u00c2\u00a0 For example, Josh’s common sense argument about the logisitcal problems (to say the least) of the idea are given short shrift by Jonny:<\/p>\n

“And don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t give me the logistics JC. Details are for the pen-pushers. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re ideas men. We see the big picture and baseball without relegation is like your haircut without a mirror”.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nothing can replace their TV coverage, but the two blogposts published so far certainly keep alive the memories of\u00c2\u00a0Jonny and JC’s\u00c2\u00a0different characters and the chemistry between the two that helped make the TV show such fun to watch in recent years (not to forget former co-hosts such as Dave Lengel and Todd Macklin who\u00c2\u00a0similarly brought a great amount to the coverage during their time with the show).<\/p>\n

So make a point of\u00c2\u00a0reading and commenting on\u00c2\u00a0the ‘JC v. the Gouldfish’<\/a> series at the end of every month and also to follow Jonny<\/a> and Josh’s<\/a> individual blogs about baseball as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
