jenksycat Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I'm sure he's gonna be a real treat to listen to when they win 65 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerksticks Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 If only they made a Hawk Harrelson brand popsicle. It would be a nice summer treat for his detractors to suck on. At least they could enjoy his sweet flavors a different way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Frankly, I'd rather listen to Harrelson hype all the young prospects than put up with Benetti questioning Stone over and over and not providing any of his own insight. Â Hawak can also tell you more from hanging around BP for a week of spring training than we'll get all season from some "voice" announcers.

oldsox Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I wish Hawk would do more home games. The Comcast baseball package almost always uses the home team announcers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taste in announcers clearly varies from person to person, but I'm with you: I'll take Hawk and his unique style, even now in the twilight of his career, over the cookie cutter stylings of the so-called "professional" announcers.

Panerista Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) I guess when you're winning 65 games, it's only appropriate you stick with the worst broadcaster in baseball. Â Too bad, too. Benetti/Stone is actually listenable. Of course, some of the meatheads would cry tears of joy if Hawk took a literal dump on television.

Benetti is a young phenom broadcaster (You can literally hear him EVERYWHERE in the offseason) we're lucky to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Oh Hawk, you selfish old man. Â The rebuild won't be complete until he's removed completely from the booth.

klaus kinski Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) I enjoy Benetti very much. There are 2 people in booth. It's refreshing to hear them in tandem versus one trying to suppress the other..

He's a voice for the modern game. He's very knowledgable about new age stats and modern baseball. He doesn't talk about Rico Petricelli either which is a plus.

No doubt I'd rather waste calories trying to figure out "Sox Math" and get all giggly about what gifts are to be had on the table behind Benetti and Stone than listen to a guy who's actually played the game and can and still does lend insights that just about every professional cookie-cutter announcer cannot do.

bmags Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 There are no opinions I can relate to less than people's bizarre fixations on announcing. Vin Scully reincarnate could appear today as a new sox announcer and half the people would say he sucks. It's the hitting coach of baseball team media jobs.

bmags Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I'm more forgiving of baseball announcers especially, who have so many more games, and so much less field action than others. Football announcers, announcing 3-4 games of the same teams per season? They should have a lot to talk about so what they choose to discuss matters. Â For baseball announcers? Suure, tell me about the sausage you ate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
