It was discussed a little the other day when he did it also. He short arms the ball which causes a sailing effect, and I also think he doesn’t get a good cross seamed grip on it, which exacerbates the problem.

Happy Human….your Hawk tagline would’ve infuriated me until I saw he was an oldish guy. I used to think him as an assinine homer. Now I just think of him as a clueless old guy homer who his fans probably like.

by Bilzo on Jun 16, 2009 8:13 PM EDT reply actions  

Some White Sox fans don’t like him at all. The rest of us have an attitude of amused tolerance, like Hawk is an overly talkative, occasionally embarrassing older relative. He likes to talk about his playing days, “Yaz” (Carl Yastrzemski), and his golf game. I enjoy his play-by-play announcing and his home run call is one of the best, but he gets annoying when he starts complaining about the umpiring.

He is a homer, but most announcers are, really. Hawk is just blatantly obvious about it. He does say nice things about the other teams’ players, though.

must’ve been about 5 years or so ago when I was introduced to him. Madson’s first start and the ChiSox batted around the first inning. Hearing “stretch” and “put it on the board” with every homer just salted the wounds. Then the phils tied it up in the bottom half and he STFU. (Sox went on to win tho).

He made a bad first impression. but like I said…since he’s an old doofus, harder to hate.
