I guess I don't really care.
I just read in the game thread that "Joe Buck sat silent, while Gordon's HR traveled through the air". In reality, Buck saying nothing was perfect. All you needed to hear was the crack of the bat and the vibration of the stadium as it cleared 440ft. Edit: of course that was DeBerg who said it and he's pretty much a dolt. |

The talk radio people were saying that he has a good voice, but that the stuff he says is idiotic. The one last night. In extra innings, "This is what it comes down to at this point. A Guy delivering a pitch. A guy trying to hit the pitch."
No shit, brah. That's been the last 12 innings as well. And then stuff like just saying a person's name as "commentary." He'll be like, "Manny Ramirez..." And that's it.

Joe Buck is fine. He's not exceptional, he's just fine. The complaints about Joe Buck are generally absurd.

I don't even think Buck was the worst of them, and I stand by my post on FB that if you would have had a drinking game that involved the name Harvey you would have ended up in the hospital with alcohol poisoning in 1/3 of an inning.

This. I thought he gave credit where credit was deserved.

Baseball fans are used to 162 games of homer play by play crews.

This is the problem here. For NFL games, every game on TV is called by a neutral crew, but in baseball You watch a blatantly homer crew (especially us with Hudler, lol) for 6 long months, so people think thats normal. Then you abruptly shift to a neutral crew who is talking up both teams and looking for the storyline, and won't be so relentless about discussing how the Royals could come back any moment every inning they are down.

I'm in Ohio and don't have that luxury. When I get to see telecasts on ESPN, MLB Network, etc., You don't usually get the local feed. They are a HUGE difference than Bum-semen breathe Buck.

In my view, as good as the Yankees were in the first half of this game, that's how as bad they've been now

Main issue with Buck is that he goes to the extreme of what most PBP guys do - he gets stuck on a narrative or person and he just beats it to a pulp - most PBP guys move on and let the game create its own narrative. It's like he doesn't have much else to say but keep to his talking points. I think that's what drives most people bonkers.
All in all he's just a super-average PBP guy - but only when he's not caught up in his preferred narrative-loop.
