re: Chris Blair with the great call on Doughty's walk-off HR

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

Because he is a true professional. He actually lets the play develop so he can properly paint the picture on the radio to people not watching the game.

He isn’t as good as Hawthorne on the big calls because of his style I will agree and the excitement doesn’t always come through but he is better at calling an entire game than Hawthorne.

That’s how you do it Lynn!

I think that swing of the bat will change the momentum of this team from here on out. What a thriller ending!!

Just with the box would have been packed for it. The atmosphere just isnt the same anymore!

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

exactly, that's the first thing I thought.

"It might be... it could be... it is!... A home run!"

There are times when I find Blair too buttoned up and maybe too professional to be the home team announcer, but this wasnt one of those times. That was an awesome call.

ETA: I clearly didn’t read the part you talked about the SS.

You clearly weren't the only one.

My bad, Hunt. Y'all were both great all game as usual. Hope ya enjoyed that "celebratory beverage" after the game.

Damnit. I didn't even notice bc I was already walking off the field.

I wish Hunt & Blair would do all of the baseball games going forward!
