Snopek Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 12 hours ago, Tnetennba said: They've spent more time "searching" for a new PBP person than they have their last 5 managers and the current GM combined. Wonder what hoops they are making them jump through for it to take so long. “While continuing to speak into the microphone, please consume this pulled pork mac and cheese funnel cake sandwich atop a slab of baby back ribs, during which you must display an unattainable level of elegance and sophistication.” 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I have no doubt Monaco talked to Benetti and then wanted nothing to do with the job. These are the leftovers. A guy like Connor McKnight definitely isn’t going to do any better and will be willing to work for tyrants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Please, just not McKnight. He's so, so boring. I REALLY wanted Monaco, but Brooks and Jerry don't like their PBP having national prominence, apparently. 🤷 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn’t going to put himself in the exact same position as Benetti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Based off of fifteen seconds of listening to Flemming, I'd rank my choices as him, then McKnight, then Schriffen. I'd be fine with McKnight, Schriffen is whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the White Sox have former ties to KC. .............................................. Steve Physioc was a Royals announcer and very dull. Are these 3 finalists guys who use a Wink Martendale announcer voice? Are Sox for the first time gonna have one of those guys? I want conversation not awful monotone deep voiced homerism with most of the game a commercial for the homestand. 'Make sure to get your tickets.' .... ugh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSox2023 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I don’t even know who this guy is but he has to be better than Connor McKnight or Zach Zaidman. A small victory in an otherwise awful offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiddleCoastBias Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 6 minutes ago, southsider2k5 said: Meh. We'll see I guess. Looks like this is his first real announcing job aside from minor stuff like covid KBO games. Benetti didn't have *much more* experience when he came in but did have the minor league background. None of the finalists excited me, but I know the least about this guy so that means the most room to grow. Hopefully it works out and this guy is worth a shot.

Lip Man 1 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/news/white-sox-hire-john-schriffen-as-play-by-play-announcer He has the toughest job for a broadcaster, to try to make a bad team interesting and to try to keep the fan base engaged. I don't envy him in the least in that regard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
