If it's Kaspar however, I'll be on the opposing feed as others mentioned. Is he a nerd because he has glasses or because he’s not a former player ie not a jock? Which 1980’s stereotype are you applying? 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't watch lol DJ doesn't bother me on the radio, but I don't think I would want him on the TV call. Beckham though is simply awful, and has miles to go before he could even be considered decent. He belongs nowhere near a broadcast booth.

I loved tuning in to the Harry and Jimmy show. Truly the greatest duo to ever grace a booth. It would have been wonderful to hear more stuff from them, but there was always a baseball game going on that they had to discuss. Them. Was. The. Days. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, someone calling themself something is not exactly an open invitation for strangers to do the same. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gimmicks on the Sox broadcasts have grown stale and I wish they would change it up, but I don’t put that on Jason. He’s fantastic on national games too and if the Sox gave us consistent quality play I have no doubt the quality of the broadcast would jump equally. Jason has a good broadcasting voice. Much better than Gordo who has fielded thousands of balls…take a Jasón over Gordo or Len anytime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outrageous that they put an untrained ignoramus on a major market broadcast and just let it happen. They have no clue what kind of message they are sending. Gordo tries too hard to put up a brave front but he needs training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
