Is it too much to ask that the voice of the Tigers pronounce the last name of one of your most prominent pitchers correctly? His job, quite literally, is to accurately put sports into words. Sports information creates a pronunciation guide every year. I’m sure it’s sitting next to him in the booth every game.

It’s not a complicated name. We’re now on year 2 of this inept linguistics. Listening to it is like watching John Pearson play first base. Get it together.

Glad you’re not upset about the performance on the field.

He probably doesn’t give two Schmidts.

LSU usually puts out a pronunciation chart for names
Maybe it is the correct way the family pronounces it

Better to drop the "ch" than the "m". That's really the key letter.

He's not listed in the pronunciation guide because the pronunciation of his last name is not up for debate.

Maybe you're just a fricking moron.

Do people actually listen to Chris when LSU is live on tv?

I was forced to this past weekend because I didn't have the time to be able to sit in front of the tv for an extended period, but could listen while I did other things.

Will probably be in a similar situation for some of this coming weekend.

It drives me nuts too. The only explanation that I can think of is that he doesn’t want to accidentally say “shite”.
