Those of you that watch baseball on ESPN frequently

Barndog

do the announcers/commentators always make dozens of totally inane comments every game? Even when they have former players, do they always make comments one would expect of someone watching their first baseball game ever? It is painful to listen to these idiots. My mute button is going to be used now...

Pretty much!

It also seems they've done away with instant replays. Just as an example, AROD just hit a bome run, tying Frank Robinson on the all-time list. It was followed by a visit to the mound by the Boston pitching coach. At no time during that whole exchange, did they show a replay! All they did was show the pitcher staring off into space

Can't tell you tonight. I refuse to watch Red Sox/Yankees in the regular season. I'm tired of it being force-fed to us as the "exclusive" game.

Miller and Morgan are horrible, and Miller is a Yankee-lover.

Morgan was a great player, but really really sucks as an announcer -- makes the stupidest comments over and over.

Now Jerry Remy was not a HOF 2nd baseman, but he is a HOF broadcaster compared to Morgan.

Joe Morgan makes me want to pierce my eardrums with a rusty railroad spike.

there used to be a great blog called "FIRE JOE MORGAN" - "Where Bad Sports Journalism Came To Die"

There's a reason for that.

You guys are a bunch of hatters.

As a fan who has to listen to Chip Caray, I will not criticize any other announcers. The man demonstrated last night that he can not even compute OBP.

I've always despised Miller.... He IS a Yankee lover. I vividly remember the 2006 ALDS and it seemed like he was about to jump out of his seat and cheer every time the Yanks got a hit. Of course everyone ESPN lives to dump on Detroit..... i know, WAAAAAA!!

After the Boston Massacre in the Summer of 2006, nothing made me happier than to see the Tigers soundly beat the Yankees in the 2006 ALDS.

Orel Hersheiser has got to be the worst broadcaster on this planet! His "painful to listen to" analysis of what the pitcher is, was, or intends to do, is simply BS. His reporting is so anal as to be laughable, and contributes nada to the broadcast booth of Morgan and Miller, who should review their retirement accounts and move on as well. Give me the days of Curt Gowdy when he broadcast for the Red Sox all those years. "Hi neighbor, have a Ganset" was the mantra from Gowdy back then...ah, the memories of listening to the Red Sox on radio from Cape Cod!!!

For those of you who lilsten to Chip Caray, you deserve the noise! He is beyond woeful and akin to listening to someone streak a piece of chalk across a chalkboard. I've lived in Atlanta over 20 years and easily remember the days of "Chief-nok-a-homa"...actually turned down free tix to last night's game. Wouldn't walk across the street to meet this dismal group they call a team. BTW, isn't it time for Chipper Jones to have another stint on the DL from a sore quad or something?

Not sure what a "hatter is, but I don't think I'm one.
