5 hours ago5 hr I partially feel bad making this thread, because he seems like the type of guy who would lurk here and get upset by it, but oh well. His contract is up after the season. Supposedly the team got mad at him for the Mune samurai nickname. There's been rumors that they aren't big fans of his. Jimmy floated Wayne Randazzo. He's a local guy who worked at The Score back in the day. I've heard some of his calls and think he'd clearly be better than The Schriff. Fans seem to really like him. Would love for Benetti to come back when Ishbia takes over, but that's a while away.
4 hours ago4 hr Do you like Obama or Trump? Same thing here. It doesn't matter if you dislike or even hate Schriffen, or why you feel that way. It just doesn't. It is what it is. Relax and try to enjoy the games.
4 hours ago4 hr Set aside any prejudice some may have against Schriffen and the understandable mistakes and misstatements that he has made and listen to how he narrates the game and provides excitement and entertainment. You can't have a much better call than this.https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/video/mason-barnett-in-play-run-s-to-tristan-peters

3 hours ago3 hr Bennetti was such a fucking dork. I'm fine with Schriff Dawg. I think he's getting better.

They aren't understandable for a professional broadcaster.Yes we all make mistakes, I did as well but I also wasn't working for the White Sox.The franchise deserves better in all areas including the broadcasting end of things.That being said, if they make the playoffs and wind up having a winning season I think he stays with maybe a new two year deal. Brooks won't want to rock the boat.Although again so much depends on who may be running the team next season from an ownership standpoint.
3 hours ago3 hr Honestly at this point I'd rather replace Stone with Plesac than John with whoever. I'd also love to have an experimental booth with Bacon the play by play and Plesac the color but I doubt Bacon wants to put himself through that. It would be cool if he gave it a shot, but it's a lot to take on and he probably doesn't want to commit to 150 games.

3 hours ago3 hr I’m on the bubble, he seems like a nice person, I want to like the guy but he just goes overboard at times and sometimes just doesn’t say the right things but I’ll take him over Benetti.

It's possible Ishbia could bring him back, but that's 2029 at the earliest and could be 2034.They need to move on from Schriff. If they do, I wish him the best but that's my opinion.
2 hours ago2 hr Schriff is over the top with his schoolboy schtick; but there are others that are worse (like Boston's radio guy). But he doesn't seem to know the league; he should be able to provide some insight into other teams' players and stuff.I thought Benetti was okay, but nothing special. Don't know why he became a "thing."

1 hour ago1 hr Hey John,often less is more. Let it breathe a bit.Most Sox fans are hardcore consumers of Sox games ....we don't need big picture musings about the team repeated in every single broadcast.Try concentrating on the action on the field.....it's an exciting team with lots of dramatic moments that should be the primary focus of the telecast. Remind your producers that fans tune in to see every bit of the action on the field..and have try not be on some side- bit while missing kay throwing a 3rd strike,I think?I have to mute it at some point sometimes...never did that with past play by play guys
1 hour ago1 hr 3 hours ago, WhiteSox2023 said:Didn’t @Y2Jimmy0 say that he thinks Schriffen will be gone after this year?I'd be absolutely shocked if he's back. I thought he was gone after last season. The Sox intentionally went from one of best tv booths to one of the worst. I expect them to hire an adult at some point in the off-season. It's market 3. Wayne Randazzo, Stephen Nelson, Jack McMullen, Adam Amin and countless others make plenty of sense.
