Sad cause Stoney ends his career on a down note with this inexperienced guy next to him. Stoney is 10 out of 10; the new guy is 1-10. Schriffen never should have been hired. Stoney should have left a long time ago.
July 17, 20241 yr I do miss Jason, but I'm not going to talk bad about them just yet. It's not like the organization has put a product on the field that is worth a damn for them to talk about. Team was a known failure before the season started. These guys can only sell bullshit for so long
July 17, 20241 yr The team is so bad this is actually worth discussing. If the Sox are playing I find the opposing team's announcers annoying. Listening or watching random games and it seems that any announcing teams are an acquired taste.

July 17, 20241 yr Jason is like a chain restaurant known for being fairly decent even on their worst day. Maybe something like a Jersey Mike's. But personally I'm not a big chain guy, decent enough or not. I'm glad he went to Detroit but sadly we replaced him not with a nice local place, but with a Subway.

This is a gas station subway where the attendant is making you wait for your sub while he gets the gas customers

A long time ago, must have been 25 years at this point, went to a game with my dad at New Comiskey, back when it was still fairly new and novel. We were excited and the first interaction was with a dipshit parking attendant that was super aggressively trying to scare us into parking in his lot and blah blah blah. We went and parked in some private lot for less and the car was just fine.

July 18, 20241 yr https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports-media/2024/07/18/chicago-white-sox-john-schriffen-steve-stone-jason-benetti-awful-announcing-mlb-rankings-2024 "Schriffen has figured out some things, such as toning down his act and slowing his delivery. His voice is pleasant, and he calls the action well. He has set up Stone with some good questions. But he’s learning things about broadcasting and baseball that he should’ve learned calling games in the minors. That’s where many announcers find their way. Such experience wasn’t important to the Sox, who were more focused on availability and affordability." Edited July 18, 20241 yr by Lip Man 1

Hey man don't knock Subway, you're literally the one selecting the sandwhich if its not good that's on you.
July 19, 20241 yr I love that tweet following an assessment of Schriffen where the first sentence says that he learned to tone down his act ???

I can see if posters didn’t like Benetti’s style but he was way more professional than this douche. Schriffen must already be learning how to be a dbag from Boyer.

Served as a sideline reporter for NFL, college football & college basketball. White Sox on NBC Sports Chicago and ESPN, calling collegiate sports and KBO League baseball for the network. Previously Schriffen acted as a reporter for CBS Sports and hosted That Other Pre Game Show on CBS Sports Network. Lip Man is just disgruntled because he thinks in his mind that he should have gotten the job because he claims to announce games. For who, or what it doesn't matter he's gonna hate because the baseball on the south side has been so bad that he has to pick apart an announcer in his first year with a new team. Who the f cares, if the Sox were winning we wouldn't be talking about the announcing booth.
