Quin Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 This twitter user did a great side by side of Benetti and the atrocity that is the Royals TV broadcasters. This was probably Benetti's best moment yet as a Sox broadcaster and I thought it was worth its own thread. People may like to rag on him because he can be cheesy, but he's a professional and infinitely better than people like Steve Physioc and Rex "The Moon is a Planet" Hudler. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron883 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 People hate on Jason, but I'm a big fan. I feel it is also more difficult when you are a commentator of a team that absolutely blows. Give him a better product and he wins more people over imo 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to have someone representing what modern baseball is moving towards. Move on from absurd old unwritten rules, when many fans are open to watching players just having fun. Jason and Steve nailed it. Keep having fun Timmy. Every sport growing in popularity embraces players having fun. Be better baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I've liked Jason since he started with the Sox, but now I have a deeper respect for him. I love his commentary about being better and just getting the guy out. And now he's probably the newest member of the "Joe West is a Moron Club". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPR Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I said something in the game thread about hudler being a jackass. Benetti has good calls. Like the Eloy homers and so on. But where he lacks is in between. The stupid jokes the dumb questions and references. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got to the point where Hawk would go innings without talking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mqr Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I said this in the gt, but people really gotta give him a chance until the team matters and this backs up my point. Making a bad team entertaining is incredibly difficult 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I've always been on team Benetti. Such a breath of fresh air after the atrocious Hawk. This just cemented it further. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFirebird Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Benetti was spot on with this and actually I feel if the White Sox did what the Royals did he would be critical of the White Sox. He wouldn't have done a Hudler homer take on this, at least IMO from what I have seen/heard from Benetti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 The people who hate on Benetti confuse the hell out of me. Yeah, he's goofy. Yeah, he likes to have fun. Guess what? Baseball is fun. Guess what? The Sox stink. He has absolutely nothing else to do. He could be completely f***ing miserable for 6 months like Hawk was, but he and Stone make a great team. He makes it fun when they suck, and I find myself chuckling for a few moments every game. When games are on the line or when serious matters happen like these, he's absolutely outstanding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benetti really is talented. Does great basketball work as well. His pairing with Bill Walton during the Maui Classic last year was phenomenal viewing. I will say tho...while Benetti and Stone are a very good combo...I really love when Whimpy gets paired up with Benetti a few series during the year.
