DODGERS NEWS/RUMORS Thread

kids a fraud
what kind of royals fan wears texas gear?

 

I'm reading that Thom Brennaman has been fired for saying "fag" on a hot mic (homo?).

I guess the organization and network have no choice this day and age, but it's funny that the Reds called it "horrific"...really? You feel horror from that? Give me a break. That said, I hope they hire Steiner!

 

Back when I used to watch and listen to baseball, I would get Steinr'ed all the time.
In fact, my previous post that took a dig at Charlie was made before I saw yours!
The dude is as bad as it gets.

 

All the time. He is the worst. I am very surprised the Guggenheim group kept him. One of McCourt’s worst moves is bringing Steiner on board.

he is an amateur out there. I always wondered if he had any background on play by play. Only remember him as a Sportscenter anchor.

 

looked it up. The guy has some premier gigs as play by play. How! The Lane Kiffin of broadcasters. Just shits his way up.

 

He's never been great (understatement), but I wonder if being off site has anything to do with his timing and enthusiasm being off.

 

I know I'm in the minority with my opinion that the Dodgers announcers are fine. As stated previously, Vinny is retired, so that is what it is. I think Joe is fine, and most of the time, Orel gives a unique pitcher's perspective to a game, which I certainly appreciate. And he holds a Dodger place in history, and I won't forget it, ever.
I don't hear Steiner that often, so maybe I'm not qualified to comment on his timing and skills...but as far as the sound of his voice, it's a great bb announcers register, imo. That goes a long way for me.
Unique, like Mel Allen or Red Barber. That counts.
And as far as doing the job for an LA team in a huge media market, I wonder way more about the only fucking people we decide to come up with as choices to run this country, out of 350 M +,are Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
That sure is way more troubling and uninspiring to me.

 

OK. I'm convinced. They should poison Steiner for not being Vinny or Jerry Doggett, like a Putin opponent.
Fuck him and kill him.

 

Still, no excuse. Some might think so.
Schedule him for " cleansing " asap.

 

Thank you, Rudolph Hess.

 

Spero was an excellent successor to Chick. Too bad he didn't stick around.

 

I've honestly never disliked Steiner the way everyone else does. I enjoy his voice and both him and Monday together were always a solid duo. With that said, he has been HORRIFIC this season and it is not just the away games. He seems very distracted or uninterested and the calls have been just awful. In a game earlier this year the Dodgers scored a couple of runs and hit a HR in the inning, but you would never have known. He and Monday were having a convo and Steiner just kept talking monotone while you could hear the crack of the bat under his voice and the piped in sound. Then he was like, "and that's the inning, the Dodgers score X and extend the lead on Y home run". I was completely confused and was pissed about the call. I was driving up in the mountains so XM was all I had so I could not check the inning. When I did and saw there was a rally and everything I just shook my head. It wasn't just this game either, he has seemed out of it every time I throw on the radio broadcast. It is probably time for him to go.

 

Danke.
