However, I’ll give him props for going to tailgates and interacting with the fans. Maybe he'll get better with experience. I don't think there's a course out there for any announcer to deal with a shitty team. I'd prefer a Bob U. in Major League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing about Twitter/X is there's a lot of flat out lying on there.

Iwritecode Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I just believe that everyone on the internet is lying. Which means I think Greg is lying. Which must mean that there's NOT a lot of lying on Twitter. Which goes against my original belief that everyone is lying. Now I'm confused... 😵 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREEDY Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 For the foreseeable future, the Sox need a vanilla announcer to just calmly call the game, let it breath and let Stone talk. Schriffen is the exact opposite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Mite Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Schriffen was between a rock and a hard place, first year on the Job and doing play by play for one of the worst teams of all time, you can’t put lipstick on a pig which he tried to do on many occasions.

I know his situation was pretty messed up. But listening to that later lost me. He has no idea the difference between baseball and WWE,and UFC, and Slamball. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Deep Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 If and when the Sox are good and JS is the announcer for that team.........you will all appreciate the enthusiasm I like JS and feel like he got better, as he admitted, as the year went on. For me, he would be an awesome listen if this team was any good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Jason is based enjoyed imo in small doses. I was no huge fan of him over 162 games but FFS man he's smooth and professional even if corny and learned baseball on the job. Schriffen is like the homeless man's version of Benetti, at best. It's like they thought they could pull another rabbit out of a hat but instead they just made another horrible hire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 (edited) 33 minutes ago, WhiteSox2023 said: Wow… Theres nothing to dispute that. Benetti is terrible in the big moments. He has no memorable calls. A stupid Benitendi walk-off in the worst season ever was more memorable than anything he has ever called. Schriffen can at least bring excitement there (not that sox will give him much). That was reinforced was NBCSN was doing their history montage the other day and you had Hawk with all these amazing calls that I could play off the top of my head filled in between with Jason's lukewarmness.

Falstaff Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Hehe , how about TLR and Leyland going after Harry and Jimmy Piersall, or Hawk wanting a piece of Burns and Boorstein. I don't think The Commander, Bob Elson ever went toe to toe with a ball player or manager that I know off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
