A lot of information is constantly dispensed.

Unfortunately, such a clinical style does not produce enjoyable telecasts.

Simply put: There's too much chatter and an overload of information, particularly from Rockies analysts George Frazier and Jeff Huson.

I'm certainly not the first to mention that baseball — unlike football, basketball and hockey — is a leisurely "thinking man's sport."

Such a leisurely pace can provide enjoyable viewing, particularly for fans who have a longtime investment in the game.

They don't need to know the velocity of every pitch or how every groundball is fielded.

And they don't want to be bombarded with the lifetime statistics of a rival bullpen hurler who may or may not get into the game.

And am I in the minority when criticizing the overuse of that home plate electronic box showing whether pitches are in or out of the strike zone? Such a gimmick should be used in key situations — not with every batter.

Much of my negative e-mail about the Rockies' telecasts centers on a dislike of Frazier, who, according to his critics, does not have an astute baseball mind and talks too much while providing insignificant information.

Part of this criticism is unfair. Frazier is extremely knowledgeable about the game and its players.

His challenge: how to dispense such knowledge.

Instead of relying on long, often tedious sentences to make a point, Frazier would be better served if he used short, colorful phrases — commentary that leaves time for viewers to absorb his thoughts while watching the plays unfold.

Huson, in his fifth season as a Rockies analyst, seems to be following Frazier's let's-talk-all-the-time credo.

Like Frazier, Huson likes to second-guess players and managers, even before decisions and plays are made.

Play-by-play man Drew Goodman, an all-around sports broadcasting talent, will occasionally engage in worthless chatter, seemingly because he can't ignore it. But he's still able to keep the games in focus.

As noted earlier, I get a lot of negative feedback from Rockies fans about the team's telecasts. Keep in mind complaints always outnumber positive responses.

Anyone out there like the coverage?
