Does anyone like Tim McCarver?

[Wag]

I haven't come across one person who says they like him, let alone thinks he's any good.

How has he been working so long?

 

[Kalvin00]

I like him.

 

[jtusa]

Dunno who he is and too lazy to Google it even though I'm not too lazy to reply saying I don't know who he is.

 

[rh71]

He overanalyzes everything. Used to do Mets broadcasts so I know him well. It's good when you care about the game of baseball...

 

[BlueWeasel]

I really don't care for him that much. McCarver, like John Madden, is Master of the Obvious.

 

[Yossarian]

"Some people might think that I'm a know-it-all blowhard, but they're wrong."

That's how Tim would comment on himself.

 

[Syringer]

Tim's a good man.

 

[Bumrush99]

I like him. However, I really love to listen to Morgan, he is always on the money with his commentary and is a great guy.

 

[Wag]

Tim's a good man.

I have no doubt that he's a nice guy, but I'm talking about his broadcast style.

Most of the people I've spoken to over the past few days said they wish they had a way of turning off the sportscasters. Tim being the primary offender.

Turn off the TV and turn on the radio. Baseball is the only sport that I enjoy as much, if not more, by listening to the game, regardless of whether or not I have TV around. As a kid, I must have listened to 120-140 Mets games on the radio and loved every second of it (no tv broadcasts for the Mets in FL at that time)

As quoted in the Hall of Fame (roughly), "Baseball is the only game you can see on the radio".

 

[bradruth]

No, but I LOVE Joe Buck. :heart:

 

[Total Refected Power]

He is awful. States the incredibly obvious, mispronounces names and is generally obnoxious. He has become the JOHN MADDEN of MLB.

 

[trilks]

He might be a good guy, but he's a crappy announcer.

 

[RedPickle]

Tim McCarver should not be an announcer.

[SP33Demon]

He used to do basketball, and then switched over to baseball. He's horrid.

 

[jlarsson]

The whole Fox crew just sucks. Just too much Yankee ball-washing.

 

[Gurck]

The whole Fox crew sucks, McCarver is like their doofus leader.. and god, won't anyone tell him it looks like there's a dead wild animal on his head? You'd think he makes enough cash to not have Ron Popeil spray-on hair :Q

 

[thawolfman]

Hell No! Brandon Arroyo? wtf?

 

[manly]

He's an excellent analyst.

 

[Sandor]

He's bad- states the obvious, and makes up stuff like "a walk in the 9th inning is as bad as giving up a home run". No, its really not. He doesn't bring much insight to the game, and he's not very colorful, so I'm not exactly sure why he's there.

Anyway, I would love to see NBC get the playoffs back so they could have Bob Costas and Bob Ueker pair up again.

 

[faenix]

No.
