Does anyone dislike Tim McCarver's commentary

on Fox baseball telecasts as much as I do? He is a master of stating the obvious and often annoying to me at that.

    I dislike his commentary so much I turn the volume down and listen to the radio broadcast when available!

    LOL. I tried to do the same but there there was a TV delay and it was out of sync with the radio.

    Everybody finds a reason to dislike any commentator. He is just as good as the rest, and does not hold back on his opinions. That is probably why you don't like him!

    I don't know - I just get the feeling that everyone who works with McCarver, in the booth, just hates being there with him.

    I think most sports announcers are the masters of the obvious...and with having to fill up 3+ hours of a telecast, what else are they going to talk about?

    Gone are the days when a radio announcer could let the sounds of the game do some of the talking...and I fear that the newer, younger announcers just don't understand that sometimes pictures can indeed speak 1000 words.

    If we want to talk the worst announcer currently in business? Tie between chris collinsworth (horrible...absolutely awful) and the entire sunday night ESPN crew.

    Jim Palmer is one of the best analyst in the business.

    Even though he fought for the Orioles, he's as objective
    and thoughtful as they come when he does Oriole games.

    There are many others like Jim who would do a much
    better job than McCarver. Joe Morgan for one. Why FOX keeps McCarver
    is anyones guess.

    Commentary...........Is that what they call what he does when he opens his mouth and inserts foot?

    Joe Morgan is on the radio and he's a good listen. It's baseball though, what do you expect to fill in all the boring parts? It's bad enough they have to pan thru the audience and focus on all these Bostonians freezing their nuts off, as if I care....
