If your job is to announce LSU baseball, you must be able to pronounce the word "Alex."

And if you can't, let Patrick Wright do it.

Guess that explains how you can tolerate Hawthorne.

I just don't understand the hatred he gets.. I've listened to the entire broadcast today LOOKING for something to complain about and I just haven't found anything..

Seems to me as though the complaining on here started off as something minor and then snowballed into full blown hatred...

Zero hatred from me. He doesn't understand the game of baseball and can't see. Which makes it pretty difficult for anyone to call a baseball game and/or comment on one.

Haven't listened. Is still finishing Hanagriff's sentences or is he allowing him to speak? Or whoever's doing the game with him?

Prove it.. He's done this for years so I would be willing to bet that he knows more than 90% of the hacks that post here

Again, you're not stating facts, just throwing out baseless criticism

And the 2-2 pitch-----where exactly was that one?

I don't know, I'm in my car listening to you, Hawthorne.

I'm guessing that he barely missed the strike zone and the ump called it a ball...


Maybe Hawthorne isn't the incompetent one

Not baseless at all. I've been listening to him call games since before I can remember (at least 1992). Coogan, Hannagriff, Franques and Wright have all forgotten more about baseball than Hawthorne has ever known. And Hawthorne is a chicken little and cuts people off when they're talking and has TERRIBLE habits that he falls into.

You have to, when Hawthorne's calling the game.

Tell me what it was and stop bitching about the ump. You're 200 feet away and behind him.
