I actually 100% agree with you. He's much more polished obviously but his "big calls" just don't get me excited like Hawthorne's did.

Not hating on Jim, but I'd say for what both did and do, they are probably even.

This x 1,000. He needs to be more of a homer, IMO. But thats his style and I guess we are stuck with it

Jim Hawthorne is the GOAT. His passion and rhetorical style couldn't be matched

The job of the play-by-play voice is not to make you feel good, it's to give an accurate description of what is going on on the field as it happens and in that Hawthorne was clearly lacking.
