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.”

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.
January 21, 20242 yr 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. ?

He wasn’t going to put himself in the exact same position as Benetti.

January 21, 20242 yr 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.

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.
January 25, 20242 yr 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.

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.
January 25, 20242 yr 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.
