Big Sky Blue he was the White Sox announcer. He was mad because of that error earlier in the inning that could’ve ended the game. The Mets scored another run and tied the game before the strikeout.
The Mets crew is always great. A few years ago during a game the camera had panned over to the crowd and they noticed a mister softee concession cart that they didn’t know was there. They got really excited and sent some people down to bring up some ice cream to the booth. They sat there eating ice cream and talking about how much they loved mister softee for like half an hour. Best free advertising they could of gotten
Mets announcer wasnt being a crybaby over his team losing like everyone else. He was genuinely upset at a scummy move. Why is everyone else so unprofessionally biased
"Lack on the field"? The Mets won 86 games last year, had the ROTY, MLB leader in HRs, back to back Cy Youngs, and made the World Series just 4 seasons ago
If you think about criticizing this attitude, remember these guys have to commentate 162 games a year...if you gotta watch some dumb shit occur every game you’re gonna get fed up a time or two
Announcers aren’t anywhere close to millionaires. Not unless you’re a national name like Joe Buck or Al Michaels. And workplaces do have a thing called “Human Resources” that can used to help deal with such morons, ya know. (Or you could call law enforcement on them, if it’s appropriate to the situation. That works, too.)
@@christmashake8968 "Announcers aren’t anywhere close to millionaires. Not unless you’re a national name like Joe Buck or Al Michaels." Eh, I'd say some local announcers are making seven figures a year; just depends on the market. Michael Kay is the most likely.
It's a good gig for sure, but that's a damn long season, and a lot of these guys have to watch crappy teams whom 75% of their games don't matter all season because they're essentially out of the playoff race. I mean, these guys are almost always fans with deep ties to the teams they cover. That has to get pretty darn rough. I always loved Mario and Rod for the Tigers but the dudes straight up hated each other! Would have never thought it listening to them but eventually it boiled over and they lost their jobs. Coincidental that it happened while the franchise was in a downward spiral that won't end for years, after good success over nearly a decade? I think not.
DabCityBitch Absolutely. The least biased, the most knowledgeable. The best play by play guy in Cohen. I want that Colon home run call played at my funeral. Seriously. It was that good.
Rick Manning of the Indians does it when it's deserved. I'm betting a few more out there do too. I hope anyway. And it's always welcome to hear as long as it is justified.
Okay, I did the two sec search. STICK IN ONE'S CRAW - "When you can't swallow something, when it won't go down, or you are loath to accept it, it sticks in your craw. The craw is the crop or preliminary stomach of a fowl, where food is predigested.
Zachary Wellington It was disbelief. I watched this series live. When Gary said get him out of there, he was referring to Glayber, because he killed orioles pitching. I have to live through these all the time as an Os fan
"I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith, as there's a line drive to right by Bryant, and that'll make it an 8-1 ball game. I don't know if I'm going to be putting on this headset again."
When I saw the title, I immediately thought that the Mets announcers will be in there. They don’t get upset because they are losing, but they get on the players for doing the wrong thing. If you didn’t know any better and you tuned in to watch the game, you wouldn’t know what team they were announcers for.
One of the reasons I can be proud to be a Met fan is because of our broadcast team. They are professionals who look at the whole situation and tell it as it is. Ron Darling could have said "Maybe it got away from him" but he didn't. He knew it was a stupid move and said so. Mets fans love Gary, Ron, and Keith!!!
@nolanshaw2596 believe me you really appreciate how good your home team announce booth is when you have to listen to a national broadcast or one of the terrible apple+ games
@@moviescatsmargs Good announcers carried us Giants fans through a lot of frustrating and outright bad seasons before Posey and Bochy gave us a golden era. We've still got them, so that's nice now that the golden era is very much over.
As someone who works at a MLB stadium, when the home team is down big in the 9th inning, you just want to go home. So the “enough already” in the last clip resonated in my soul.
Gary Thorne is easily in the top 5 all time broadcasting voices, it just doesn't get old. Hope he gets some shots with Bill Clement again now that the NHL's national partnership is going back to ESPN.
The Gary Thorne one never fails to make me laugh especially the game where Paul O'Neill went into the broadcast booth to ask if he was okay and he told him to get out LOL
@MetalCrow448 Staaaaaaahhhhp with your silliness......Keith/Ron/Gary all day long. You've got one of the best play-by-play guys in the biz (Gary), complemented by a former pitcher (Ron) AND a former first baseman (Keith), who all call it like they see it and analyze everything that's important. The trio is funny as hell too. Palmer and Thorne are great, but gimme the Mets' trio any day.
Enough already, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame. I don't know if I'm going to be putting on this headset again. I don't know if it's going to be for the Reds. I don't know if it's going to be for my bosses at Fox.
I feel bad for Ronnie. He was set to make his long awaited return from cancer, but this Coronavirus has put that on hold. That would have been emotional.
That play by Beckham was hilarious. If he would’ve not moved at all the ball would have been caught. But he ran across the whole diamond, tripped on the pitcher and crashed into third baseman who was basically camped under it
Kellen Hall I know a few years back, I think Gary Cohen did national network radio for CBS Radio (when they had the national MLB radio rights for playoffs and World Series games) and later I think ESPN radio too in the late 1990s and early 200Os. Gary would usually broadcast the divisional playoffs and also fill in work during the regular season. Cohen is really underrated. Surprised Turner or ESPN TV has not yet hired him. Fox TV owner Rupert Murdoch loves Joe Buck so he is not leaving being the a Fox World Series broadcaster for a while.
If I remember correctly it had something to do with the cub fans in the seats shouting "let's go cubbies" in a blowout. I've really started hating the cubs ever since 15, cubs fans even more.
Mopars and King tigers for life 41 Well, when you haven’t had anything to cheer about until just recently you have to take full advantage. I guarantee you this: if 2016 doesn’t happen, we’re a lot less hate able!
Lol wow, never heard Gary Thorne angry before. Only ever watched him do hockey on national broadcasts and saw some Orioles clips here and there, but hearing him angry is something new to me.
It's so refreshing to see the team announcers not showing blatant homerism. Usually, no matter what, these local announcers look at situations with their own set of homer glasses.
That first one could have got really intense after the umpire lost his grip on the bat and it kinda flung into the catcher's arm. Like say there was already some beef that happened and the catcher didn't see what exactly had happened and just feels getting hit with it, I could see a hot headed catcher overreact in that scenario
MrDan708 Before my family finally got cable tv, living in a high rise apartment in the NYC area, (no guys not public housing guys a place for middle class families such as what my parents were) I would be able to watch usually after sundown all 4 major Philly sports teams on Channel 17 and 29(now the Fox station)including the Phillies. What I liked about Mr. Ashburn and his long time broadcasting partner was that even they rooted for the Phillies when they did well, they also were not traditional “homers” either. And thus that Kalas/Ashburn Phillies broadcast would also call out when any Phillies player had a bad game. Or give “props” to an opposing team player if he had a great game such as hitting 3 homers in the same game aka the Hat Trick. Thus growing up in the 1980s, I was lucky to have great local MLB broadcast crews such as the Mets with Ralph Kiner and Tim McCarver on the TV side. While on the radio it was the Hall of Famer Bob Murphy and a then young Gary Throne. With the Yankees for most of the decade, Bobby Murcer, Bill White, and Phil Rizzuto for their TV team. And finally occasionally watching the very popular and excellent Phillies broadcasting crew led by Halas and Ashburn.
game needs more honesty like that Mets announcer; intentionally plunking a guy isn't cool, it isn't badass, it's a straight bitch move and you deserve to be derided for doing it
And Francisco was a nobody, which I’m sure added to the anger. So now some nobody out of the pen is going to get one of our players hurt? Fuck that. Let him hit.
The announcers are tired of their teams losing instead of being like Royals announcers,giving credit to the other team,those anouncers are total homers!!
As a Dodger fan, I've been spoiled. Vin Scully and now Joe Davis, both consummate professionals. Those announcers have to remind themselves that they are announces, not fans.
Sounded like Joe Simpson. The Braves organist has little songs for every opposing player that often makes fun of a part of their name. He does the radio broadcast now, they replaced him with Jeff Francouer
Westside JMO he actually didn’t own everybody. If u take out the games against the orioles he was almost exactly average as a hitter. About .780 OPS but low OBP so he was just a touch worse than puig last year against everyone else and he had 101 wRC+
Westside JMO oh yeah for sure he’s pretty much already there. It’s just an interesting thing. He might not be as good right now as we think, sky’s the limit for him either way
Sean everytime he steps in the box, u gotta take notice...,if you ever get a chance to see him live you’ll see what I’m talking about....he can go real deep left center ⚾️
Thom Brennaman gets mad at the Reds every game. He also only knows half the players on the team and not much aboit baseball, so take it with a grain of salt.
Now he's been suspended for using a racial slur on live TV. So apparently his emotions and anger got the better of him. Not gonna be listening to him anytime soon. So there's some relief for u.
