female comentators ?

[qmuddy2]

why all the female commentators on tv networks ?

 

[Inimical]

I dunno but i like them.

 

[GNG]

why all the female commentators on tv networks ?

Why not?

 

[GNG]

If a woman is knowledgeable about the game it should not be an issue.

 

[OregonDucks]

Doris is good.

 

[thunderc]

Hell of a lot better than the TNT players only games.

 

[ericd7633]

Yeah Doris Burke is really good. Still not sure about Jessica Mendoza(Sunday Night Baseball) Also Cassidy Hubburth is very good as well(did sideline for Sixers/Celtics tonight).

 

[msgkings322]

why all the female commentators on tv networks ?

Because they are 50% of the population?

 

[broncosmitty]

Doris is good.

Yep.

She's first rate all the way.

I'm not much of a fan of Mendoza.


But I hate ESPNs baseball coverage in general.

Yeah, she hasn't grown on me, so I doubt she ever will. I just feel like she doesn't add anything that we don't already know. And her general approach still comes off as a little choppy. Burke is so smooth, and knowledgeable.

And yeah, I don't really like the baseball coverage either. I like Boog Schiambi and Kurkjian, but that's about it. And I may be in the minority but I loved Jon Miller doing play by play, game always felt bigger.

Jon Miller is a god damn national treasure and a HOFer for a reason. One of the best things about being a Giants fan is our announcers are outstanding. Not too homerish, clever, know when to be quiet and when to talk, etc. Jon Miller is one of 'em.

When I watch baseball when they aren't the crew I always mute it.

Not sure why espn got rid of him. And that's coming from somebody who liked his replacement in Shulman.

He's getting older, I suspect he wanted to move on and just focus on his main team but who knows.

I've watched about two innings of SNB this year.

Don't care about exit velo or launch angle. Not much reason for me to watch.


Doris could do every game and I'd be fine with it. No gimmicks to her game.

The only SNB game I watched this year was the Yankees game. Outside of that, I won't watch unless they are playing. And this is coming from somebody who used to watch SNB EVERY week growing up.

I'd be happy if they only covered Little League.

Cuz I refuse to watch Little League on television.

I find Doris super repetitive. Like she feels she has to keep talking.

Interesting...I will say she has grown on me. When I first remembered her doing college, I didn't like her at first. But now I think she's fantastic. I actually wish she did more college as well. Anything to get Dickie V off the broadcast.

 

[RobToxin]

As long as they never ever ever ever ever have that woman that lost her mind:

"Rojah Clemens! Rojah Clemens is in George's box! Oh my goodness gracious! Rojah Clemens!"

As long as she is never an announcer, I am fine with female announcers.
