This dude completely sucks at announcing and should never be the color commentator again. What exactly are his qualifications? He rambles on and on. There's no other explanation as to why he gets to do this part time. |

Hes pretty boring. And he uses too much slang. Benetti has to keep asking him (for the audience) what he means. |

A barely intelligible Ozzie has a pre and post game show but its WHITE privilege that a recently former sox player gets a six game fill in as in game analyst. |

"Most importnat thing for Seby here is to make sure he keeps the ball in front of him." Wild pitch. Ballgame. |

Seby would’ve had to set up behind the LH batters box to have a chance of keeping that ball in front of him. |

Beckham is a recent White Sox player, that's why he is there, not hard to figure out. Beckham is a little bland but overall he's fine, him being there is not about privilege, that's just a moronic assertion. |

He would be fine if Benetti didn’t do his cutsey grabass act with him. The annoying attempts at humor mar the broadcast. He’s had sone good insights. |

He's bland and has no discernable personality === He's a retired major league baseball player MLB 2021's biggest star pretends not to speak English, never mind the sport's native tongue; and its perennial best player's most memorable media or playing moment was being mic'd up and talking about the weather while playing outfield during a meaningless exhibition game. |

AJ is pretty awesome on national broadcasts I’ve seen. They got the wrong former Sox player. |

That I don’t know, but he certainly is a welcomed voice compared to a lot of newer analysts. |

Look back at White So Rsoters since 2005....it's a pretty short list of players who might be interesting / entertaining. AJ is one.....he's already working. Buehrle, Crede might be interesting. BUT...then they'd have to actually want to do it. I absolutely loved Jermaine Dye as a player, but he was fairly quiet and I don't recall having much to say publicly. Maybe the answer is Carl Everett....that could get interesting

Crede should host a cooking show. I don't think that guy has missed a meal in 15 years. |

if we follow Hawk Harrelson's ongoing assessment of Gordon Beckham, this young man just needs an opportunity to get some great at bats in during Spring Training and consistent seasons of 400 AB to really find his groove. |

I thought Jack McDowell was a good listen when he did it years ago. |

If they need a fill in again, have Bill Walton do it. |
