Here is him saying Schmidt's name (he says it in about 5 seconds after hitting play). He apparently doesn't make the hard "ch" but it seems like a very minor thing for the anyone to get their panties in a bunch

I love a skip story as much as the next baseball fan but frick.

Ben and Lyn is absolute peak college ball. I know it isn't practical but if you could have those 2 do every LSU game it'd be perfect.

Holy frick this is a new one… we now have the day after a loss thread complaining about announcers instead of during the game

Same material, but a fresh delivery. I love it

He probably doesn’t give two Schmidts.


I’ll fix that for you.

Nobody gives two Schmidts.

Maybe it is the correct way the family pronounces it


I know the family. I assure you, Smidt is not how it’s pronounced. Indeed, it’s pronounced how it’s spelled, you fricking moron.

If all you have to worry about is someone's enunciation, you have a problem. Go to class and study, get a job, or try being a better person!

Is it possible that's how his family pronounces it?

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 just texted him and asked this question.

His reply was

“frick lsu=champions, that’s why “

No, it is not, because they don’t.

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

So are you family to Chris or just a close friend?

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

That's how his family pronounced it. It was still kinda annoying.

The one good thing to come out of the atrocious baseball this past week was learning that Chris Blair received word of this thread, as he - for the first time in over one year - called a game where he correctly pronounced “Schmidt.”
