Princess Dye Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 2, 2005 -> 12:10 AM) If Steve Stone is willing to take a job on the south side...I want him. Best color man in baseball. well that would actually be the ultimate F U to the Cubs management...... but then again do we have a booth big enough to hold the amount of baseball information inside Stone and Hawk's brains? plus he gets like $500,000 to do like a few days a week for the Score.... dont know if that would keep him from taking a job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure he prefers broadcasting over being on the score. I think he would consider it if we didn't low ball him ridiculously bad.

The Critic Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 My home run calls at the Cell would be: Visitors' HR "DON'T THROW THAT BACK, f***ERS!!" Sox HR "DON'T YOU CUB FANS WHO CAME TO THE WRONG PARK THROW THAT BACK, f***ERS!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retro1983hat Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 The Ego factor in the booth with Hawk and Stone would be unbearable. Besides I don't think that Stone particularly likes Hawk's Hawkimsms. Can of corn, hangwuffhim, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimH Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 We need to have a contest to get DJ a home run call. Actually I think I am going to email Hawk and see what he thinks of DJs home run call, that could be pretty funny. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That is actually a great idea Mike. I bet they have fun with it. I was thinking about this, a home run call is more of a spontaneous thing, it's whatever comes out of the announcers mouth, and then it just sticks. Hawk has refined his call over time, he never used to have the "YES". The call has to be comfortable for the announcer so it flows and doesn't seem forced. Rooney is very good at this IMO. He describes the play and he's able to back off on the HR call if a guy catches it at the wall for example. He tends to say, "there's a drive, deep left field, xxxxx back to the wall ... " and then he either adds "and makes the catch" or of course "It's a Goner!". If DJ would add a bit, the call would be more palatable but again, it's tough to force it on a guy. HR's are spontaneous and emotional, and so is the call. If he were to say something like ... "Uh Oh ... deep to right field ... bye bye ... home run for Timo, 8-0 White Sox", it's not bad. At the very least, it's entertaining for us to see if he tweaks his HR call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like, "Hey DJ, we noticed you're doing more PBP and you've come up with a signature HR call. Can you tell us how you came up with it, and have you asked Hawk what he thinks about it?'

You may have to heap a little praise re: the HR call so it gets read. This is what I sent in FWIW Hey guys, many of us have noticed that DJ has been doing much more solo time this year on the air, and even has gotten to do a couple of home runs calls. I just wanted to say "uh-oh bye-bye"? What's up with that? I guess we all can't be Ken Harrleson's in the booth, but maybe you guys need to have a contest to get DJ a home run call. And Hawk, I would love to hear what you think of the fiesty one's HR call. Thanks guys and Go Sox!
