I like Guff but love the job he has now. Tbh I'm a bit agnostic only because when I'm out and about, I just put on the radio. Len and DJ are just so good. For me, Kaspar is a future HOFer as a radio broadcaster. It's people like him and Rooney that made me fall in love with the game.

I agree, Len and DJ are phenomenal. I hope they both stay on the air for decades to come.

I listened to today’s (8/23) game against the Mets, and it’s so much better than the Schriff experience. He doesn’t let the game breathe at all. Against the Cubs, there several times where he tried to get Stone to engage in Cubs bashing or Wrigley bashing, and Stone didn’t bite.

Schriff needs to stop selling the Sox to Sox fans. We’re watching the game already. Not sure why it seems like he’s trying to convince me to be a fan.

DJ was terrible (terrible!) when he started, so there is hope for Schriff, but perhaps he can listen to some games called by the best announcers and learn from how they back off and let the pictures on tv do some of the talking.

The Saturday evening broadcast...7th inning I believe....out of nowhere Scriff starts talking about Caitlyn Clark...that he has tickets to go watch her Sunday night (??)...and I think Stone had no idea what to say. Eventually Stone chimes in (paraphase) with "well, if this (White Sox v Mets) game keeps going the way it has, tomorrow's game will determine who wins the series"...

WTF Scriff? WHO CARES! Time and place Scriff...he is just so bad!

wonderful. burn that place to the ground. i don't buy it though, in the same breath he s%*# talks the red line about how dangerous it is. which fair enough, but still, shut up about it.

little bit pedantic. you know who the last sox announcer was, right? that guy talked about literally everything except the baseball game. yet, people think he's the best announcer in the world.

Benetti talked about the history of the White Sox all the time! And he did incorporate things like "Sox Math" or whatever it was called...but even that included White Sox history! Night and day difference between Benetti and Scriff. Not even close! As I said in my post...time and place! Scriff doesn't get that! It as though he forgets he is broadcasting TO White Sox fans...and the basic interview type questions he asks Stone to answer are annoying as well! Maybe he is better suited for an ESPN type broadcast...maybe!

I like Benetti just fine and appreciate his knowledge, but it's essentially a standup routine with a baseball game going on in the background. Go listen to some Tigers games as a refresher.

Talking about another sporting event happening seems like a perfectly normal thing for any announcer to do. Also, that moron Enes Kanter just got ejected from the Sky game for going onto the court and arguing with players.
