bmags Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I am happy about this. It would have really been gas on the fire for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally fine with me if he accompanies the broadcast team without a tongue.😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 This would have been Soxtalk weekend and this would have been the news drop to get everyone to cheer. Nobody changed the PR department timeline to a more sensible time to do this like when the contracts expired which was probably at the end of the season. .   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bossanoveralls Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 NEATO!!! This confirms my purchase of MLB.TV this year. I think Steve and Jason make a perfect pair of baseball announcers. Jason has grown so much in the 8 years. And Steve is so wonderfully smug and quick at it. Very funny and informative. So glad they will be here for several more years.  🎶 NATIONWIIIIDE IS ON MY SIIIIIIDE 🎵 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Sox Park Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Glad to hear this . i've been a big fan of Steve Stone since he worked for ESPN, and it wouldn't have been the same with Jason Benetti, who is one of the best around.

pcq Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 People here get a Woodrow because Bendetti does network curling games. I focus on his sincerity defecits. I prefer Ken Lasper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I was a baseball fan of Stone as a pitcher, but not since he has been a broadcaster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 At least we get some good news on 35th. Kind of sad that this is what we have to look forward to currently over you know...the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Hey at least we get a great call for a few more years. I do very much still want the sox to bring in a 3rd person .... a much younger person. I know jason is young ... but like someone who doesnt have the soul of a 80 year old. That 3rd person should be the next in line for Stones job. I'd love to have someone like AJ or another past Sox guy ... but please, god, don't let it be gordon beckham. he has improved a ton over the years and maybe he finds his way still, but i'd love to see them bring in a guy with a personality. Here's an idea ... Ozzie via facetime screen in the corner for an inning a game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScootsMcGoots Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) I had a dream last night that prime Hawk was back in the broadcast booth. Then I wake up and hear this news. Now I don't know what to do with my life. On a real note, glad to hear the news. One of the best around. I actually love Steve's commentary. I couldn't care less about what he says on twitter. He does his job better than most in the business. And I really don't even care about the Nationwide jingle. The main request for me would be: get rid of the Sox Math 🤢🤮 and bring back "What did Chuck Find?" I loved that segment I think they did it right before Covid in 2019.

coldwatersox Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Jason and Steve are treasures. Yes, Sox Math is nonsensical and the annoying Nationwide jingle should go away, but the analysis of the game by this pair is unequaled. Please do away with both Kasper and Beckham, the latter of whom makes Dizzy Dean seem like a master of grammatical structure. And, let's have more of Big Hurt in the post game shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
