He’s been commentating the Cubs Padres series, and while it’s way different hearing him do pro ball, he still kills it. He’s gotta be top 3 baseball commentators in the game, whether it’s LSU baseball or pro ball

Can't wait for baseball season to start up so we can listen to all of the opposing fans bitch about how "big of a homer" Ben is

I’m glad he has recovered from his fall out of the deer stand.

Ben’s my favorite analyst of college baseball. I quit looking at professional baseball several years ago.

Who else?

I’d definitely have the Mets up there with Keith and Ron and the guy for the Giants. But who else?

Kruk? Too drunk.
Brenly? Naw.
DeShaies? Like but don’t live.
Hershiser? A little too vanilla.
Gubicza? GTFO

I'll admit he is a "bit" of a homer, but not much. I have no problem and expect an ex player to be a bit of a homer for their old school as long as it's not excessive and they are complimentary to the other team, which Ben always is.

Or people bitching when we hear the same phrasing or story on a network game that he told on a midweek game against southern.

I've said it here before, Ben is the most complimentary announcer of other teams that I've ever seen. He obviously does his homework before each game he calls for LSU and gives in depth analysis of what other pitchers and hitters bring vs. LSU. He is truly one of the best
