Chris Blair learned to correctly pronounce Schmidt on March 8, 2026


Thank you for documenting the specific date. This will always help me remember where I was when this monumental event occurred.

So glad you're up Blair's arse that you need him to pronounce Schmidt correctly or you will have a nervous breakdown. Does Chris tell you how to make those McDonalds fries correctly?

If the family pronounces it in some way that varies from the very, very widely accepted pronunciation it would have been included in the pronunciation guide.



I haven't seen the pronunciation guide which is why i asked if it was possible. I didn't claim it to be the case.

No, it is not, because they don’t.

You clearly have the same issue reading as Blair has pronouncing. Congrats.


How do I have issues reading?

You didn't read the thread either because I mentioned on the first page that he was not listed in the pronunciation guide.

Thank the baseball and play-by-play gods for addressing this pressing matter.

What on earth would become of us without such a program altering resolution of this difficult situation.

What's the next issue on the list? More frequent changes of the urinal cakes in the restrooms?

Hawthorne pronounced Alex Edward "Elleck" like that was some kind of tribute to Alex Box.


None of us growing up called it anything other than ‘Alex’ ‘Box’. Oh I’m sure that’ll trigger some purists.


Then the true proper pronunciation became more prevalent during tv and internet years… and everyone was fine by it.


But by the end, Hawthorne (hey look, I love him) was almost sounding like “Ellie Baw Stadium” too many times.
