I could point out numerous arcane expressions used by sports announcers including Hawk and Harry.The thing that is different is that some fans just don't like Schriffen. Just admit that and stop nit picking everything he says or does, or better yet, just focus on enjoying the games.I don't like him as an announcer because he is terrible at his job. Now how about YOU focus on enjoying the games and quit telling people what the f*** they are allowed to think and do, because you are mad. Again.
8 hours ago8 hr 2 hours ago, chitownsportsfan said:I enjoy picking on john and will continue to do so. Just like I picked on jason. I like my play by play guys to focus on the game. Len I like better than Jason and Schriff and he's mediocre. Obviously Hawk in his prime is the best, but there are other teams that have good ones. Aaron Goldsmith on the Mariners for example. Also I thought Dickinson and Dirks on the Tigers broadcast were good.We just don't have a good TV booth. And I buried the lede: Stone is perhaps a bigger problem.In before the race card gets played again to say that Stone should have retired 10 or 15 years ago, and even if Schiff isn't good at his job, literally every one else they bring in when Stone isn't there sounds better with John than John sounds with Steve.

There’s without a doubt a reason why he stuck around in this league for so long and got a standing O in Detroit.I think if Teel is indeed able to come back, we may finally see Romo go down. Running with a tandem of Teel / Rogers will not be a surprise.

1 hour ago1 hr Uriquidy had TJ surgery in June of 2024. His next appearance might be telling if he is 100%. Hopefully Castillo watched Uriquidy dominate the Cubs with his devastating change up.

However, I love john's enthusiasm and his calls. His calls are different then what we are use too. I love that fact that John is not a cookie cutter MLB play by play announcer. You can turn on a game and most of these dudes sound the same. Some of you don't like him and never will. That is fine but there is nothing wrong with different.
