Tim McCarver

[Tyler Durden]

Anyone agree that he is far too analytical for the average fan?

[MrGo]

I think that's better than someone who always states the obvious.

I like McCarver..always have.

He sucks man.

He is fawful. 2nd worst only to Joe Morgan.

[MrGo]

I agree with you on Joe Morgan. He fumbles for words an awful lot. No one was worse than Harry Carry though.

Worst announcer ever? Bill Walton. Hands down.

He's totally annoying. Its not that his points are too analytical, its that he won't let up on them. I also think he's too critical of the players. When a guy strikes out, guess what, we all know he shouldn't have struck out, and it would have helped his team more if he got a base hit..

In golf, a player bangs a ball into the woods, and the commentators talk about what a mental breakdown it was.. Guess what?? If you hit it where you wanted to everytime the game would be easy.

McCarver needs to keep his mouth shut more.

He's far too wrong for the average fan.

Among my favorites:

-"The longer the game goes, the more it favors the Yankees." OK, they tried 12 innings, and then they tried 14 innings. Maybe they could win a 16 inning game?

-He talked about "hanging" pitches and said it's not just curve balls, there are hanging fast balls too. No, there aren't.

"McCarver needs to keep his mouth shut more."

They don't need three guys in the booth. McCarver and Leiter compete with each other. Personally, I'd rather have Leiter. When they had Boone in the booth last year, they needed McCarver, because Boone had absolutely nothing to say all the time.

But three guys are superfluous. We have a hundred and six camera angles and endless replays, so we don't need three guys to tell us what we saw.

Haha, I heard this too. Silly me, all this time I always thought that the pitcher missed his spot and pitched the fastball higher than he wanted, apparently, he is hanging the fastball.

McCarver is clearly the worst, by a long stretch.

You know we're in trouble. Schilling today. If we lose today, who do we pitch tomorrow? My guess is Vasquez.

Gut-wrenching losses the last two days.
