I guess I'm lucky I was at a wedding reception and had the sound turned off. My still pissed at me for dropping the F bomb when it looked like an lsu batter got hit with a pitch and was called out. I had to bite my tongue when Katz ( appeared to be katz on my iphone) got called out sliding into third.

I thought just the opposite. He was very complimentary about LSU. He said it was the best atmosphere in college baseball and numerous times said that any kid ought to jump at the chance to play for LSU. He said LSU has the best program in college baseball. I liked what he said about LSU.


this. yes, he was irritating when he repeated "pounding the zone and the angle the pitcher produced from pitching from the side of rubber" about a thousand times. but, overall, he was very complimentary about LSU's baseball program and facilities. he even mentioned the indimidator like he was genuinlly impressed. the negative stuff he mentioned was spot on. LSU had some players that played like shite and deserved to be called out more than they did. 5 errors; i say 6 because of the miscommunication over the fly ball late in the game was enough to drive me crazy. we did our best to give them the game and they may have taken it if their SS and pitchers didn't fall apart late in the game. oh, and it appears bregman and jones can't complete double plays anymore; it's like their a-hole is so tight they can't catch a grounder, get the orb out of the glove and toss it without experiencing a breakdown.

I always look forward to the "sure we won, but (Hawthorne/Rollins, the ESPN/Fox announcers) were just awful" thread. I admire the lengths some people will go to find something to whine about.

Fwiw...I wasn't offended by the guy, and thought he complimented LSU several times...especially when he said something along the lines of "why would you want the grind of minor league ball when you could experience this (the atmosphere of LSU)."

There is a reason why he announces ESPN3 games, but he did give props to the program. Every inning he said in some form that LSU was the #1 team in the country. I was like, "Thanks, someone from ESPN finally gets it. It's what I've been saying all season." Of course he just really didn't have a clue.

My favorite line from him was when he was talking about the LSU crowd giving the ump a hard time. He said the ump has called a perfect game. "In fact, I have been wrong on a couple of occasions, but he has made every correct call so far."

You think? Maybe it's because he is the one calling the shots?

Not all of us need hearing aids yet. But hey, that's a good thing for you that you couldn't hear what he was saying.


no I HEAR them just fine, I just don't pay attention to them, that's not what I watch the game for, but if that is why you do, then I feel sorry for you.

Yeah I heard that. It's because he's a newbie and afraid to rock the boat in fear they might can his new gig. I just rolled my eyes when he said that.

They're not supposed to say anything negative about the officials. Of course, the guys who have clout all do.

Dude was a dick wad. He attributed any pitchers short comings to the position they took on the rubber.

My personal favorite was in the bottom of the 8th when Cotton came on in relief and the PBP guy said,"Cotton is just three outs from his 16th save this year."

All this time I thought baseball games were nine innings.

Then after the first guy is out in the eighth and the second one walks, "Mr. Baseball" says "Well Sam Houston State has gotten the leadoff man on again in this inning."
