There's no sense is having a discussion with you. Apparently legitimate criticisms aren't recognized by you, and the only reason to possibly dislike Jim calling baseball games is because one is nitpicky over name pronunciation or pitches.
Apparently there is no pleasing the know-it-all LSU fans who expect perfection. Every and I do mean EVERY play by play man makes mistakes. Around here it seems to be a grand sport to pile on anybody that isn't perfect particularly by a group of fans whose use of the English language is, to put it mildly, interesting.
Yes Jim makes mistakes. Ok so what's the big deal? Why does that fact generate thread after thread of smarmy comments from people that haven't pronouced the "th" sound in generations?
Give it a freaking rest and quit being such a bunch of over critical jerks.
Cuz you don soun dat damn gud my fren.

The big deal is that people listen to the games expecting to hear what is going on in the games not to hear that there is a ball hit to the outfield and then 30 seconds of complaints about how dark it is before being told what the result of the ball being put in play is.
Why do you people act like it's just people complaing to complain instead of realizing that the complaints are legitimate?

I always love the "well you can't do any better" argument/defense. No shite, I'm not a paid professional. I'm not suggesting LSU hire me, even though I do know infinitely more about the game than Hawthorne. And it isn't just the simple random mistakes that bother people. It is the simple random mistakes along with the routine completely botched calls, lack of knowledge, bitchiness, and the fact that he actually openly complains about having to sit there and do his job.
If Hawthorne is literally your only connection to organized baseball at all then I can see where there is no problem. But why is it such a stretch to believe someone would prefer a competent professional to call the games? It isn't like he is doing this for free.
