I'm not able to watch almost any sport without the sound being on mute these days. The announcers for the Rays and the announcers for NASCAR (namely Jeff Burton and Earnhardt Jr.) are enough to make me go Elvis on the tv...so I just press the mute button for the sound bar. Matter of fact, it's on mute now! Go Rangers, kick some cheater butt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I have no dog in the hunt, I just want to see a good game. In baseball I usually enjoy the announcers m, especially the local ones. "Back when we were playing....(fill in instructive or humorous anecdotes)." And the obscure statistics (everything goes into baseball stats!), "Sanchez is the first left-handed, albino short stop to hit home runs in consecutive innings in the post season." To me it adds to the...relaxed tension?....of the game. Football, no, they talk too much. Hockey, the game moves too fast for much chatter. I don't watch basketball.

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 One of the things that’s really annoying are the on-camera dugout interviews while the game is being played. Where a member of the team that’s just come off the field dons a headset, stares into a camera and yaks with an announcer. Meanwhile, there’s action on the field not being shown.

I liked when a player in the field was mic-ed up. Fascinating to hear a guy talking about his childhood or something as he spears a hot line drive and fires the ball to the baseman for a double play. They make it seem so easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 The thing that bugged me the most was one of the announcers was trying to guess the next pitch and what it should be because if the hitter’s tendencies to swing at certain pitches blah blah blah, he was wrong 90% of the time. Geeez shut up already ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 The Rays announcers, Dwayne Statts and Brian Anderson interview Stu Steinberg (the lying, cheap, pos Rays owner) about once every three weeks. The interview lasts anywhere between 1 to 2 innings. During the interview, the game on the field is ignored for the most part. Glad the sound is off but missing the game on the field is very annoying, especially since it's Steinberg they are interviewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
