retro1983hat Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I have noticed this year more and more, DJ is doing the bulk of the play-by-play and Hawk drops in a word or two each inning. I know the Wimpy used to do an inning and for a while DJ used to do one as well, but it seems as if DJ is taking over the PBP. Anyone heard anything?

knightni Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hawk always allows DJ to do some PBP every game. Usually later in the game. Maybe DJ's going longer because Hawk's busy "down the hall" so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSox05 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hawk just likes talking about the old days. Which is cool. I like hearing stories about the old timers. DJ has gotten alot better in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimb408 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hawk needs to be doing the 9th inning, especially when we're winning. It seems like DJ is doing PBP alot more than he used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I think a lot of it right now is superstition. If DJ is doing PBP and the Sox have a good inning, he does more. Hawk is in the booth just about the entire game, I have a pretty good vantage point, so it isn't an incredible amount of bathroom breaks.

chitownsportsfan Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hawk's just too busy trying to forget he was ever a GM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Is it just me or does DJ sound about a hundred times better on national broadcasts? He rarely stutters or misspeaks on the Fox Saturday games while it seems like at least once per Sox game, he gives the wrong score or misreads a statistic. Is he just trying too hard to be a homer in Hawk's presence? There's got to be something to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
