Can't believe how bad Eric Col...AWESOME POST!!! Can't believe how bad Eric Collins and Steve Lyons sound together. Over-analyzing stupid stuff, Lyons comes off pompous and Collins eggs it on... Even Eric Karros was kind of a douche. It all comes down to Vin Scully's golden voice, rich stories and unbiased perspective. He picked up the mic from the legendary great Red Barber. To think who'll the torch gets passed to some day bums me out... oh ya, Charley Steiner- not half bad. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958775228784031495.post-35195283760625219442013-07-08T08:05:35.992-07:002013-07-08T08:05:35.992-07:00I cannot listen to the game when he is announcing....I cannot listen to the game when he is announcing. He's awful. Do the Dodgers really like him? I have to mute the t.v. I just yell out " shut up!" Gah, he just talks and talks about the most ridiculous sh*t.

Sure, he thinks old school, but I like that sometimes. <br /><br />Then again, I may appreciate him too much because I'm stuck with comparing him to "Sleep-inducing hynotic drone voice" Rick Monday. Talk about a mumbly ex-player with no business behind a mike. <br /><br />Monday is the only guy who could ever make me wish for the hey day of Dull Drysdale as announcer. You aint heard boring till you heard good ol' Dull. <br /><br />Stealing Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818879297909675392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958775228784031495.post-75928096765161408442013-02-18T10:58:22.018-08:002013-02-18T10:58:22.018-08:00As I see it, if they're an expert - they'r...As I see it, if they're an expert - they're on the coaching staff, not in the broadcast booth. <br /><br />An exceptions: obviously Vin Scully, Paul O'Neill, Jim Kaat.<br /><br />Alan Ashby was amazing to listen to. Now he's coaching with the Astros, to be replaced by one of the more overrated pitchers of all time, Jack Morris.<br /><br />Watch MLBNetwork for the absolute in ex-player analytic ineptitude.

Forget about his inability to analyze the game in any coherent manner, he was known as a joker as a player -- how is that going to translate to being an "expert" in the broadcast booth?<br /><br />These are my least favorite broadcasting hires -- hiring former players just because they talk a lot -- listen to what they're talking about before you hire!<br /><br />Oh, and the pants dropping thing? Happened on my birthday.<br /><br />So, yeah, I'm bitter.<br /><br />Number verification: 411.<br /><br />Don't go to Lyons.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.com
