Pat and Buck

[wazup]

I don't mind buck other than the fact that he says the word long at the end of most sentences and he cheer leads too much for the jays, getup getup gone home run. I find Tabler way too fucking stupid, like he never played the game before. Tonight on the broadcast he said Shapiro might try and get a contract done with antho before the end of the season when it's well known shapiro is staying with cleveland till the end of the year.

Last game when the ump issued a warning after a hit batter his response was 'Buerhle has good control he won't hit any batters', he was completely oblivious to the fact that after the warning the jays pitchers couldn't hit a batter now to protect their hitters, just fucking stupid. Martinez had to correct him both times.

I think they've both worn out their welcome but Tabler's gotta go, especially when listening to quality colour guys on other broadcasts.:frusty:

The Pat & Buck show is signed for 4 more seasons.

I like listening to guys who can give insights that a regular fan might not know, Tabler provides nothing of interest. There was a guy who did the angels games when tabler was on vaca, he was pretty good, a lot of good info. I liked mulliniks too.

Back in the world series days we had Jim Hughson then Dan Shulman and Tom cheek on the radio. Now we have mike wilner doing play by play FFS. Is it wrong that a part of me wants the jays to lose to spite him?

I am not sure how Jim Hughson became so popular. Mega yawn at his tone.

Shulman was good, he was so good the big American networks snapped him up.

when i watch on tv...i turn the sound off the second time that Pat just repeats Buck's point - only louder. For you drinkers...take a drink every time Pat repeats or agrees with Buck. I can take Buck but he might be better as a colour man. Joe Siddall did the Angels game...and he was pretty good.

I wish the radio broadcast was in sync with the tv..i would listen to Jerry and Joe

I think Buck and Pat are way better than any of the Mickey Mouse regional broadcasts we get occasionally from the states. All those guys are blatant homers, especially the morons on NESN. They give zero info regarding the the opposing team I remember one broadcast where they spent two innings talking about what a good dresser Jim Rice is.

As much as I like Dan Shulman, Kruk and Schilling can't put a complete sentence together between them.

I feel Buck and Pat have good chemistry, give good info about opposing players and set up the strategies really nicely. Of course they won't be always right but they know what the next pitch will be, how the defense is set up, when a runner will go etc. The Rogers broadcasts in general are way more professional than the American ones, including YES. Michael Kay's "homerisms" makes Buck sound like a Supreme Court Justice.

Cripes, there is nothing to bitch about with the team so you have to resort to the announcers?!?!?

Like the above post listen to some of the local feeds from the US teams. They really do suck.

tabler is terrible, as mentioned above he just agrees with what buck says. Tabler says the phrase 'He's a baseball player' what the fuck does that mean. Tabler has no original thoughts.

Find me one broadcast where disagreeing with your announcing partner is considered good form.

"Sorry Buck, but you have no idea what you're talking about." is what it would amount to.

The point is to add something, not parrot. Buck causes a bit of the problem by going well beyond the play by play with facts and opinions. Pat just follows suit. But, yes i do admit that just once I want to hear Tabler tell Buck he is wrong. How about getting Matt Devlin for play by play and Buck for colour? Matty D and Jack are great for the raptors. Anyway I do enjoy the games with the sound off and my HDTV

Not a Buck and Pat fan either. Really liked Devlin in the games he has called. Thought Jack Morris was awesome as the part time color guy a year or two back.
Armstrong has to be the worst color guy ever! Sound is off when the Raps are on TSN.

 

[Perry Mason]

Except for an inning or two to get basic info, I now turn off the sound and enjoy the games much better.

And though I think he is an ass, I respect Zaun's depth and knowledge so I turn the sound on when he comes on... :eyebrows:

I don't mind them. Buck is obviously the top in the relationship.

But watching as much baseball as I have this season, you realize how shitty the local guys in New York, Los Angeles and San Fran are for example.

 

[Perry Mason]

BTW, I think the guys on ESPN usually (because they change) are the most interesting to listen to. Yeah, they go off on silly tangents at times but their banter is very informative and entertaining.

I should have used the word repeats because that's all he does. I think buck realizes how stupid pat is and tries to help make him look better.

I like Tabler and Martinez. I watch many other broadcasts and their commentators are inferior. Trust me.
My biggest gripe with them is that they never criticize Gibbons who continually makes stupid calls/non calls. I wish they would be more frank but I understand that they don't want to rock the boat, so to speak.

 

[black booty lover]

I love the fact they are biased for the jays and buck yelling "get up ball get up!"

I think they are way better than most guys out there other than the big wigs on national networks.

 

[shack]

Buck is definitely "the star". He used to do the colour commentary, was a manager and now does the play by play. He carries the broadcast, is extremely knowledgeable and has more personality and is more well spoken than Pat. However, Buck and Pat do have a certain chemistry. They seem to enjoy working together and their banter and joking around doesn't seem staged.

Buck does the heavy lifting and Pat is the sidekick.

enough already....Pat and Buck work well together, they been doing it for years, if as you say pat has no original thoughts, then he is skilled enough to fool the suits at Rogers for all these years
