Except he's way off. Anybody can throw angry words together, but if they're incoherent then you have to subtract points.

Kasper is "pompous", especially compared to Hawk? Never.


What baseball announcer is a bigger pompous d-bag than Hawk? Keith Hernandez, maybe?

I'm struggling to find an answer......give me a minute......

How is Hawk anything but pompous? He has the answer to everything. Everyone and everything is the "greatest since..." or so and so is the "best_____in baseball". He lives to make grand proclamations because the only opinion that matters to him is his.

It's one thing being experienced and having knowledge of the game but Hawk is quite pretentious about his own opinions.

Hawk can be irritating but will never be as bad as Santo was. It got to the point I could no longer listen to games on the radio even when I wanted to.

But if you think your opinion is correct, how can you not sound pretentious? That problem with Hawk is that his opinions are often wrong.

The problem with Hawk is he has too many problems. The non stop arguing of balls and strikes is enough to make a fan crazy.

PitchTrax has pretty much put a stop to him doing that.

You and you're technology! What about when Vida Blue could drop a ball 9 inches as it crossed the plate! How ya gonna handle that?

Hawks skills as a play-by-play man are only eclipsed by his tremendous success as a general manager.

I've made it through 4 1/3 so far and haven't had to turn it off. He has been quite tolerable today. Him telling that ball to go foul and thanking it was a nice touch to this inning.

Its the only game on TV here in Appalachia. The cubs look just fine getting no runs on my stat tracker.

Stone and Hawk could both be better when paired with someone else, yet classic Sox organization move, Jerry likes them both so they stay, no matter how bad all the surveys they sound out say it is. "I don't know why we even send them out, he is going to do what he likes."

Wonder why Farmer and Hawk have never been paired together? and please don't tell me because they both do play by play, because one of them barely does it.

Yes. This is a question that has plagued MLB for over two decades now. Please enlighten us with your insider information, Mr bagman :roll:

Duh! He just told you not to say that! Only bigfan knows why such a pairing has never been made!!

Having an actual broadcaster on radio, then Farmer and Hawk on the TV side to just fuck around while cameras show a ballgame would be the best allocation of resources. Unfortunately, Weird Jerry is obsessed with having athletes do play-by-play. Don Drysdale, too.

if you go "all in" for mlb.tv premium, you can get all the radio broadcasts for any given game right there on their at bat 14 app for your phone. it's fucking wonderful when you're out doing something that prevents you from watching the game on your phone, and streaming radio bandwith is a pittance going against the average contemporary data plan.

I would, but I exceeded my spending-money-on-sports budget on NHL Gamecenter, plus I have a flip phone.

I thought that was Dick Stockton?

Carey had the 'line drive base hit caught out there' fiasco.

CoF is partially correct. GameDay Audio is $20 for every radio feed. Initially, ass-backwards MLB had it that if you bought Audio through At-Bat app you would get audio through the app and mlb.com. But if you bought Audio through mlb.com the app audio access was an additional $15 or $20 (I forgot). Now you get both for $20. Pretty handy now that B&B suck and White Sox games are death.
