2012 John Sterling Performance Thread

[Hitman23]

I never really considered how his partner would affect him. He was still a weenie when Steiner was beside him too. I didn't get to hear Nelson so I can't comment on that though.

That's how a game should be called. I love that he butted in to Sterling's signature call.

You know another thing I wanted to comment on was about Franscesa... as usual he says the same damn thing 17 different ways. I find that so damn aggravating.

Gotta fill that airtime somehow, I guess.

There were time when Steiner was on that I couldn't tell if it was him or Sterling speaking. Very similar-sounding voices (especially when reception isn't that great).

I'm so glad I'm back home watching tv. The way Sterling called that pop up I was about to flip out in my car but then it was nothing. Maybe I just wanted it so bad that second of excitement pissed me off but still at first it was like he did it.

You should have heard him when Loony hit that HR, can anyone be anymore depressed. Amateur.

How was Sterling when ARod flew out to Ellsbury in the 11th?

Michael Kay got a bit excited and it was fairly obvious that Ellsbury had it all the way.

Luckily by that time I was back home watching tv. So I didn't have to deal with misinformation.

I read through the thread but didn't find any references to either Sterling or Kay.

ESPN had Chris Berman doing Reds-Giants on radio

Not because Berman unleashed his shtick. No, the deficiency (that’s being kind) was more fundamental. Berman did not provide a radio call. He did not paint the word picture. Berman made John (Pa Pinstripe) Sterling look like Rembrandt.

Listened to this on the way to the Yankee game Thursday. Berman called the game 1) as if we were watching TV 2) as if he was a member of the Giants

On game 5, my son had a baseball game Friday nite,I brought a radio down to listen. Jawn had everyone screaming when he totally blew Ichiros hit off the wall. One of the other fathers reminded me that 98.7 was also broadcasting the game, so we switched over.

I was at the game, but my brother sent me this text: "Sterling keeps repeating that the ball up the middle hit Fister 'inadvertently.'"

It is always amusing to see plays called by three sets of announcers.

Sterling really botched things in the 12th as he thought Ichiro misplayed the ball instead of Swisher.

Sterling just said that he can't see the ball in Comerica because the sun is so bright. He didn't explain why he can't see the ball anywhere else, either.

The Yankees need to win today. There has to be more John Sterling games this season.
