Watch the shortstop lol. Poor guy.

Good catch. That guy hung his head and started walking toward the dugout the instant it was hit.

Call from the booth

They were pretty jacked in the booth. I didn't notice during the game, but Chris and Hunt put the rally caps on during the middle of the 9th.

Reminds me somewhat of Alex Cora. Of course not as dramatic

Has anyone mentioned that the shortstop just started walking off the field without even looking?

Shocking that no one posted it.

Timing has been edited. He didn’t call it right off the bat. He never does.

Chris Blair is beyond professional. Love him being the guy vs. Hawthorne. Just my opinion. I am not sure what LSU is paying him but he really should be a MLB radio announcer for a team.

This is the best combination hands down for baseball. Hunt is considerably better than Buzzy and Thompson.

It was great seeing him do the call. He bursts with excitement.

Are you high? His only good sport is basketball, which is ironic because it’s objectively the most difficult to call. Blair is not smooth in his football or baseball calls. He’s downright difficult to listen to.

He took a page out of Harry Caray's book with that call.

He’s pretty bad really! All contrived. Nothing comes natural for him because he doesn’t have any purple n gold in his veins. Hard for him to fake his enthusiasm.



Ummm, you may be a moron. Pretty sure you are a moron.

Was outside working. The excitement of his call was really cool.

I swear some of you need to take Jim Hawthorn’s cock out of your mouth!

I mean give it up already. He retired and is gone. It’s really ok to accept somebody else. Some of y’all are so fricking determined to be hyper critical of Blair just because he’s not from here and his last name isn’t Hawthorn.

GREAT discipline by hunt to keep quiet during the call. A ton of color guys would have been screaming during the call.

It looks like the SS was walking back to the dugout even before the ball passed him.
