A RADICAL Change For "FOX" Baseball Coverage

Tim Mc Carver Play-By-Play On FOX

You just read this correctly:
I’m NOT making this up;
This is what he did quite-well on NY Mets Broadcasts on WWOR9, years ago.
Joe Buck would do the straight-up “Lead Analyst”;
There would be less of a chance of some memorable comment, which would be all over web sites & newspapers.
Unfortunately, Buck would delve into more sarcasm than ever before, but he does that now, on “FOX Saturday Baseball.”
Unless one received Super-Station WWOR9 on Satellite & Cable, a number of years ago, & viewed the Mets broadcasts, one wouldn’t remember Tim in Play-By-Play Mode.
Tim is 10 times better than Tom Seaver could ever be. I was never bored to death.
My mockery is of the “Lead Analyst Mode”; The Play-By-Play was flawless.
I guess that the networks (ABC, CBS & now FOX), were doing a “Pee Wee Reese” thing, with the Southern Gentleman in as “Lead Analyst” to give the Broadcasts more flavor. Pitching Great, Dizzy Dean & Dodgers Great , Short Stop Harold “Pee Wee” Reese, sounded great on CBS.
Some Great Gentleman named Curt Gowdy, was the Voice of NBC Baseball & AFL/NFL Football over that Network, for so many years.
Tim Mc Carver, on Super-Station WWOR9, was in the mode of Mel Allen, & Curt Gowdy, in Play-By-Play Mode.
His talent is NOT being harnessed, properly. It’s time to make a change.
“Mime In The Rock Band Has Made Some Noise.”
Buck delivered a Blisteringly-Sarcastic Opening Game of “FOX Saturday Baseball”, last season, with Mets/Yankees. Tim NEVER did that.
It’s time to “Shut The Buck Up.”
Thanks!
