    Hard to argue against that. Morgan brings his game down and giantsfan, all commentators say obvious things. Its kind of hard to keep the energy going for nine innings. Jack Buck and Vin Scully said obvious things too because they had to. Can't have dead air even though most of us would rather have that when some of the things they say.

    Re: Stupid Baseball Quotes

    There are 2 things that diferentiate a great sports commentator from the mediocre. You hit the nail on the head on the first one: how they handle dead air time. The second is how they handle the unexpected. I'm obviously speaking my opinion here, and I'm cool with agreeing to disagree with you reefer (no hard feelings obviously ) but I just feel that Miller and Morgan both fail miserably at both. I absolutely feel like I wish they would stop talking sometimes rather than listen to them talk. And I also feel like their calls on the unexpected are just plain awful. That's all IMO.

    Miller is actually good at the unexpected and never holds back. I remember him calling a Giants game and I cannot for the life of me think of who this loser was for the Giants but he made the worst baserunning blunder of all-time and Miller ripped him a new asshole on the spot. It was great and don't think everybody would have been so dead honest. Again think what you will but I think Morgan's stupidity has something to do with your opinion of Miller.

    John Kruk on Lester's no-hitter:

    "I would just like to say congratulations as a former cancer survivor"

    Kruk on the Red Sox influx of young pitchers:

    "The tenacity they are showing is incredible, and they do a great job starting what they finish"

    Another classic from the stalwarts in the D-Backs announcing booth.

    "Sometimes you go up against a pitcher that just throws the ball. You can tell by the look on his face, he just throws it, but Davis pitches!"

    Re: Stupid Baseball Quotes

    while coaching high school baseball I had an umpire tell me this:

    a lefty pitcher obviously moves his leg towards the plate as he throws over to first on a pickoff attempt

    Me: How the hell could you not tell that was a balk? thats horrible

    Ump: How was I suppose to see that?

    Me: Because your the F&$& umpire! That what your paid to do! Call the game!

    ....I was then tossed

    Come on, no one has come up with this one? Fine. Dumbest baseball quote ever: "Jason Varitek is a 2008 All Star"

    Re: Stupid Baseball Quotes

    Varitek making the all star game is stupid, but this thread is about dumbass things announcers say, not dumbass votes managers and players make.

    Varitek making the ASG is stupid, but some announcer stating it isn't because he'd just be stating a fact.

    A sad fact, but a fact none-the-less.

    This probably doesn't count but this is really stupid. John Kruk picked Brandon Webb over Tim Lincecum and Edinson Volquez for Cy Young of the first half.

    John Kruk also predicted Shane Victorino for MVP before the year started....
