maybe he will have a seizure and shut his pie hole.

they're both idiots, turn the volume to zero and enjoy the game

This is too funny, I didn't even see this post when I asked "What announcers do you despise? Why?". Is anyone at Fox listening? hello? Fox? are you there? Fox? hello?

I've hated McCarver with a passion over the years, but the Fox coverage is still far better than the TBS coverage was. Yes McCarver doesn't know when to shut up and he does get annoying, but I couldn't stand the TBS crew either.

McCarver is a bonafide idiot. I agree wholeheartedly with the OP.

he's a putz!!!

Just like many former major-league catchers, McCarver knows lots about baseball -- he knows all the fine points of the game. He was a pretty good player too back in the 60's -- and caught one of the greatest lefties of all time (Steve Carlton) for years in St. Louis.

If you believe he should "shut up", then you probably think you know more about baseball than he does (a sure sign of ignorance on your part). I'll bet you don't even know which foot a player should touch each base with as he's rounding the bases. Oh, is there a correct way to run the bases? Guess you weren't paying attention when you played college baseball. Oh, you weren't even very good in little league? How could I have guessed.

Not always true. Ted Williams was the greatest hitter of all time, yet he himself said he wasn't a very good manager of the game.
Just because you're a great player, doesn't necessarily mean it will carry over into other aspects of the game.

TBS or Fox. Hmm. What's worse -- McCarver or 12 million Frank TV commercials?

"Not always true. Ted Williams was the greatest hitter of all time, yet he himself said he wasn't a very good manager of the game."

Again, you're proving to be a wreck, Edmund Fitzgerald. We ain't talkin' about McCarver being a manager -- he's simply a color commentator -- and a darn knowledgeable one at that. The fact that Williams was a great hitter has no positive correlation at all with being a good manager. On the other hand, being a good catcher has proven to correlate directly with knowledge of the finer points of the game -- and McCarver is not shy about sharing his knowledge of the finer points of the game.

I know you're a Boston fan -- but I think even a Boston fan can understand the point I'm making, yes???

I don't think it's that McCarver isn't knowledgeable. I think it's simply that his delivery and his yammering are highly annoying.

McCarver caught Carlton for less than 4 full seasons in St. Louis.

3+ years qualifies as "years," doesn't it?

IJustLoveCards · October 22, 2008 12:45PM

yes but he continued to catch carlton in philly. He was carltons personal catcher. Bob Boone did not catch carlton.

I am only pointing out what Tim did in uniform and will reserve comment on his commentary skills

I cannot stand anything about Fox broadcasting baseball. Signing that contract with them was a huge mistake. Fox Sports to me is crap.

Ted Williams was not a good manager because he expected his players to hit like him and couldn't understand why they couldn't. Only after he retired did he realize that no one could hit like him.
