Re: Who's worse: Tim McCarver or Joe Morgan?
McCarver is horrid. I get sick of him dwelling on stuff, much of which is dumb minutia, and also, much of which, is wrong. I remember in 2001 when the Cards played the DBacks. It was Morris vs Schilling and both pitchers were on. The DBacks had a 1 run lead in the 7th and LaRussa left Morris in to hit that inning and McCarver bitched for 45 minutes about leaving Morris in. 45 minutes and its not as if LaRussa. If Morris is keeping you in the game its the job of the other 8 batters to score. LaRussa used sounder judgment than McCarver in this situation but its certainly not a move that was worthy of criticism. Morgan is less annoying than McCarver but still should not be doing national games. Im also not a big fan of Joe Buck. I actually liked Sean McDonough when he did games foe CBS. For a colour guy, Steve Stone far better than McCarver. I see Im not the only one who thinks 60% of the ESPN announcers are garbage. What is Berman doing announcing playoff games? He has no business being in the booth. Brantley would be less annoying if hed take the tabacca out of his mouth. Anyone also miss when NBC did it and had Scully and Costas and also Uecker later? I remember NBC carried the 1997 series and the announcing was actually enjoyable.
