Got a chance to listen to his radio broadcast today. Sure he has some issues, but it is still pretty cool that the guy has got to fulfill a dream of his to do some MLB play by play. And hell the Cubs are 3-0 on his watch, so give him some more games!

Now his partner, whoever that was....woah nellie that was bad. She actually described Bellinger's homerun as a Belli Basket bomb. She made Meatpants sound like Vin Scully in comparison!

He's absolutely terrible at radio PBP

I like it when people who suck at something but want to do that thing get to do that thing.

It’s like that time I got to start at PG for the Bulls.

Aka: Patrick Williams, starting SF/PF for the Bulls.

She was horrible and Matt kept pandering to her. "That's a great point [whoever you are]".

I posted something about his pbp in the game thread but he's serviceable. I've certainly heard much worse. He's waaaay to focused on the mechanics of calling a game rather than the artistry of it.

I accidentally listened to a few minutes last week and can say unequivocally that he’s the worst broadcaster I’ve ever heard.

Beth on Marquee, Spiegel and Alise on radio. Effeminate and feminine.

See now thats an exaggeration. It is like saying Caller Bob is the worst poster here. While bad, he is nowhere near the level of Wfr or Hawaii You.

Post subject:  Re: Meatpants

I was in my car for a few hours today and yesterday. Caught a lot of Spiegel doing the Cubs game.

I thought he was very good. More smooth then I would have thought. I thought the girl was decent as well. I have no idea who the hell she is but she was fine.

Spiegel is brutal and it makes me question McNeil's and good dolphin's judgement. He is so terribly unKarl Farbman like.

I was just talking about his play by play on the Cubs game. He's annoying as a talk show host.

Spaulding when is the last time you listened to meatpants? You still basing this off of hearing him like 15 years ago with Mac? :lol:

Doesn't matter. Don't care if this was 10 hours, days, or years ago, it's stupid as fuck. FF to 3:50ish https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qJ0dKdJ5LQ. There is so much wrong in his crafted witty speech. He's a douche and he'll always be a douche.

He's gross, smarmy, and disloyal. Blech. No thanks, ever.

It does matter because RFDC posted about him doing baseball PBP. Totally different than him hosting a sports talk show with Mac or whoever.

It does matter because you have always loved to check on something a couple times years ago and then proclaim that your opinion is always right. You listened to Meat a couple times back years ago and now have proclaimed that he will always suck. What he did with Mac many years ago has nothing to do with his PBP stuff now.

And this is coming from a guy who has been historically a meatpants hater. I started a Meatpants sucks thread. Yet I am willing to admit he has gotten better over the years and has found a nice niche in the SCORE lineup.

Spiegel has got progressively worse over the years. Then pairing him with Parkins really accentuates his host weaknesses.

He is way better than ZZ. ZZ is truly awful.

I can’t say I’ve heard much of ZZ on a cubs broadcast.

The Spiegel broadcast had the energy level of what I’d expect from a foreign language broadcast of a Chicago Dogs game. He made Darrin Jackson sound like Bob Uecker.

He sucks. He'll always suck!
