Coastal announcer on the Big south broadcast is awful

[Kmart84]

Never heard Koch pronounced Cook, Arendas is Air-in-das. Routine fly balls to center give you plenty of options to field them. Also on Gore's strikeout the ball was 6 inches in the left hand batters box. Ump has called balls closer to the plate balls.

Someone must have got to him because he finally pronounced Koch's name right in the 4th inning.

He said during the break when he was supposed to be off air that someone told him to be more of a homer so he said okay. Broadcast is bush league as the pitch camera is behind home plate.

Yeah. Especially the way he is announcing how horrible our team looks and how we are getting our butts handed to us huh?

 

[kick#]

you're watching FOR FREE so quite bitchin! the way we are playing tonight i think the LAST thing i'd be harping on is the announcer.

Yeah, his comment "This is pathetic" was not very professional, but then he's not one so what would you expect? I hope now more than ever we can come back on these guys and win this game.

Me too kebo. I don't know. We just are so inconsistent at everything this year.

It's a shame Ernie Harwelll and Bob Uecker couldn;t make it out today.

 

[jeff2001]

Coastal's announcers are bias against USC ? Is there no end to the injustice?

 

[USCBatgirl21]

Not shocking Jeff, but is it too much to ask them to say the names correctly?

Air-Ren-dus??? Really????

He darn near made me fall off the treadmill and mess up my 2016 Bridge Run training!

 

[saltlifeGamecock]

I stand to be called pessimistic! So far. Could go either way.

 

[Gamecock122]

Skoal-a-me-airo, that one hurt me..........air-in-das started it.

I liked the one this last inning where he said the Coastal batter looked like he was hit by pitch, but he didn't get first base because he was crowding the plate....WHAT?? Ball never touched him.

He seemed confused when Koch was pinch run for. He had no idea that we may actually have two catchers and both play. Also routine fly balls "may stay in the park". Balls that their catcher had to stand up to catch " just missed". I have heard bad before, but this may be the worst.

Did anyone hear him say "finally got that fricking guy out of the game" when were taking Scott out the game to bring in Mincey?? It was quiet, then apparently the audio got switched on for just a second and that's what he was saying.

 

[scifiguy94]

Just said "Finally got that frikkin' guy out of the game!" talking about Reed Scott. Guess he didn't realize his mic was still on.

What is a ball on the corner? If it's on the corner isn't that a strike?

 

[martwing]

I may never be able to pronounce DC's name correctly again after listening to this.

 

[ReadR00ster]

He is kind of dumb about baseball. He thinks we walked their batter because we are scared of him,not because there is an open first base and 1 out and sets up an inning ending double play.

 

[AnCRooster]

Our announcers make it sound like DC Horrendous but I'm not sure they are doing it unknowingly.

 

[sclawman77]

Still not as bad as the Mizzou commentator doing the SECN+ game on Sunday. He was salivating over the first Mizzou middle reliever going as far to say "the guy does not give up hits".

Way to set the guy up for failure. He ended up giving up like 1 or 2 runs on 3 hits before he was pulled. Unless the guy is Cy Young himself I doubt you want to describe any pitcher like that.

 

[Sonboy]

I don't think he has the same view of the strike zone as tv does. He should be doing poney
league games for his buddies. Every call is bad. Let's put this xz&$@ away.

"If he did it on purpose then it would be a balk and the batter would go to first"???

This guy really doesn't have a clue, does he!

 

[usaguy40]

well, if he didnt mean to swing at it, then it doesnt count or if he didnt mean to commit that error its a do over......this guy is stupid.....sounds like they grabbed a drunk journalism major out of the dorm room......it has nothing to do with intent....maybe he should read a book on the rules
