Got super pumped “stay fair ball stay fair!!” He usually talks thru a few pitches and has to catch up, but the HR call was nice.

People clapping on Blair are actually mentally challenged.

Blair is one of the best school radio network announcers in college sports.

Y’all want a dumb local sound, go listen to the vast majority of college PBP guys

I have no issue with how he sounds, or his all-around professional demeanor. I just get annoyed with how he doesn’t describe what’s happening until after it happens. Just the general way he calls baseball games kind of irks me.

And I fully understand it could be so, so much worse

also found the supposed, he called the walk off, which he clearly didn't just said "oh boy" off the bat.

I wonder if "Hey Now" is a call back to Hank on the Larry Sanders show.

Yep. I didn't jump in the "shite on blair" thread b/c I'm a big fan of his.
But that would be my only complaint and it's a nitpick complaint at best. He will talk through a pitch a few times a game. but you can usually hear how it goes based on crowd/bat/etc.

I was outside NRG Stadium Friday waiting on the kids and girlfriend to get out of Taylor Swift and listening to the call. I think he does an outstanding job for LSU and we're lucky to have him. He'll probably leave us for a major pro sport gig one day.

I’ve always liked Blair. He’s genuine and enthusiastic when the situation calls for it.
