Is Tim McCarver driving you nuts?

I know this portion of TBR is focused on prep baseball, but also know there are a lot of knowledgable baseball people who nose around here and I have to ask "Is Tim McCarver driving you nuts?". In my opinion he is the worst color commentator in all of sports and I am amazed that FOX continues to keep him around. He speaks about the obvious as if he has just made the most insightful comment ever and often his baseball strategy or description of a player's intent is off-base. Further, he often describes a play in a way that is refuted by the replay. He must make 15-20 comments a game that are either wacky or just plain wrong....at least he quit dying his hair with brown shoe polish!

 

Tim does bother me sometimes. But not as bad as Brent Musburger working the Little League World Series ( or any other event ).

 

There comes a time when all color commentators need to move on to the baseball retirement home "Florida" and take up a new endeavor..horse track announcer. McCarver became a cliche over 15 years ago. At one time Timmy was very good, but his time has passed.

Now, you can give me Harold Reynolds every night, with a sprinkling of Orel Hershieser

 

Is he still alive

 

Amen neckball on musburger

Musburger makes himself just look plain stupid and unfortunatly McCarver is doing the samething in my opinion. There time has come and gone. And is it just me or has sports commentating or color analyst what ever you want to call it just gone down hill???

 

He's acceptable but the guys I really like are Harold Reynolds and Joe Morgan. I felt I learned a lot when I listened to them.

 

Did anyone notice

Is it just me or did anyone else notice the substance on Joe Blanton's hat the other night that he touched almost every pitch? I can't believe the Ray's did not say something about this.

 

Captain Agrees with Braves...Again!

Tim's time as come and gone. I would really like for him to take "The Hater" aka Joe Morgan with him.
Reynolds and Ol' #55 both do a great job.

 

announcers.......

Harold Reynolds in my humble opinion is the best out there! His explanation of situations and the game are clear and concise! Herschiser (sp?) does a great job in my opinion as well. Pair these two up with Miller and baseball is not only fun to watch but to listen to as well.

McCarver condemns to quickly about any situation and seems like most of his comments are negative rather than positive. After he tries to explain a situation you just rub your head and say, "huh"

My biggest problem with Morgan is the foul ball! Everytime someone fouls a ball straight back, he says they were right on that pitch. No, if they were right on the pitch they would have smoked it off or over a wall somewhere, instead they fouled it off, they missed a pitch to drive.

Oh well they get paid well to do it, so who am I to judge!

 

No one is as bad as Kornheiser. I can't stand that guy.
