Ya not a fan of him in the booth.

I liked his insight.

I didn't watch the whole game but I heard a few times where Hawk set him to analyze or give some insight and all he said was "exactly" or "definitely".

Rowand did a nice job. He just needs to speak up and stop mumbling/whispering. I found it hard to hear about 20% of the stuff he was saying.

 

 

I thought he provided a lot of solid insight from the player's perspectives.

 

 

I liked his insight.

I thought he provided good analysis and color commentary. His delivery was a little dry but he's just starting out. I think if he wants to pursue a career in broadcasting he can become an excellent baseball color man.

Yea he's super raw but he seems to be pretty good at giving insight into how players think. You can tell he's a guy that liked to talk to his team mates in the clubhouse and dugout. That said, as everyone mentioned, he needs practice. He needs to work on just the basics like finishing thoughts and speaking into the mic.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing Stone take over the PbP and let Rowand do color as an tryout in 2016.

He was awful. So boring.

He definitely doesn't have the kind of voice like Hawk or Steve where you can tell just from the sound that he belongs on TV

I found it weird that he was giving what seemed like scouting reports on pitchers he's probably never faced. It's like he was reading it straight off a piece of paper, but he made it sound like he's actually faced the guy before.

He probably watched some tape on the pitchers. Wouldn't really surprise me

Wow can Stone take another week off? These two gel. Great insight by Rowand. You can tell he comes from the same school of thought as Hawk- like discussing the human aspect, not the boring statistical aspect. I'm glad they put the mic closer to Rowand tonight too, night & day

I'm liking Rowand in the booth. He is raw and has things to work on, but I could see him getting good.

He's not bad, I like the insight that he offers and is knowledgable.

 

He does seem pretty monotone and boring at times though.

There are no silent spots with Rowand. He's always got something to say...and it's usually intriguing. With the Sox playing good ball and Rowand in the booth, Hawk has actually been really tolerable...but I never complain about Hawk.

He's gotten a lot better with each game. The difference between the first and second games was enormous

Of course, winning each game helps.

I thought game 3 was night and day from game 1.

Rowand is good mojo ATM. Please keep him until we lose.

Aaron Rowand walked into the #WhiteSox clubhouse and shouted "Stoney is never coming back!"`

LOL. That is funny. I hope he gets a lot more chances this season

He wasn't that bad, but there was a portion of Sunday's game where I wasn't even sure his mic was on. You couldn't hear him over the stupid drumming.

 

It was refreshing just because Hawk was a little more energetic working with somebody he likes (saying nothing of who's to blame between Hawk and Stone). You could tell he wanted Rowand to do well.

I like the more recent insight from Rowand than from two antiques who talk about players we were too young to even watch. Stone and Hawk never played the modern game, and thats the color I want to hear about.
