I like Lynn, and I know he's trying his best not to be boring, but his over-enunciating of his words bothers me so much to the point that I've actually turned the tv off and listened to Blair on the radio. It can't just be "second," its GOTTA be "second-duh"
yes it's like he speaks with an echo, like he's shouting into a canyon, it's very guttural

Someone tell him how to pronounce Saul though please..
LSU had a baseball radio guy who pronounced Paul Mainieri "pulmonary." Used to drive me nuts.

Every time he said "two bagger", I wanted to punch him in the face.

Rollins is horrible. I can't listen to him.

This was covered in the press conference last summer that introduced the new recruits. Rollins is pronouncing it the way the play pronounces it. It's not Saul, as in Saul Goodman. It rhymes with Raul.
Lyn Rollins certainly has his faults, and he's not my favorite by any stretch, but find something legitimate to complain about.

From what I’ve read on here, Blair wasn’t very sharp calling the games this weekend. I like Rollins fwiw. Sure he’s quirky but it’s baseball and I find it to be humorous. But I do find him to be enjoyable because his excitement during games is sincere. And if you’ve listened to the broadcast teams from other SEC schools, we are very lucky to have guys who know as much about college baseball as Rollins and McDonald.

The main thing I don't like about Rollins is his home run saying...pucker up....he squeezes it in every time, even if he was in the middle of saying something else. Other than that he and Ben are really good.

I like Lyn a lot but I have to admit this annoys me. That said, baseball is a quirky game and there have been quite a few quirky announcers along the way.

Already responded earlier stating I didn't know Garza pronounced it that way bud, no need to get salty on a Monday

I felt the same way about Jim Hawthorn.

I think all of LSU broadcasting is in very good hands , including Lynn Rollins , so “pucker up “ !
