Dick Stockton

[chicards11]

Well, TBS made their big debut last night.......too bad they hired one of the worst announcers in sports. Dick constantly mis-pronounced last names and created false information.....(Jason kendall came over to the cubs in the micheal barrett trade........Ummm, no dick, he didn't)

The man is brutal and I can't stand it when I hear that ponificating voice during cards games.

I thought it was funny when he said Julio Jorge split time with Valverde last year.

Brandon Webb throws a breaking ball for a strike.

Uh, Dick, all of Webb's pitches break.

 

[AzCards21]

And that's a ball inside.


Even if it was the opposite side of the plate from the batter.

 

[crisper57]

They interviewed him on 620 sports and he said Webb was the defending AL Cy Young Winner.

Guy doesn't even know what league games he is calling!

 

[abomb]

In his defense, he announces NBA and NFL, which he is very good at.

Well i'm good at the drums.......doesn't mean i'm going to pickup a bass and starting rockin' like Geddy!

The man is out of his element

That was funny.

In his defense, and the defense of all national announcers, it has to be someone intimidating to announce for a team that receives nearly ZERO national attention. Image if they asked you to breakdown the lineup of the the Barcelona Soccer team... those fans would hate you in about 30 seconds. If you are a team from Arizona, then you might as well play soccer in Spain.

For decades, Dick Stockton has sounded like he's auditioning for an announcing job (while announcing), and you can't help but say, "He's just not gonna make it."

I used to hate listening to him doing NBA games. Devoid of personality.

I don't know which he's worse at -- the fast pace of a basketball game or nine innings of a baseball game.

In Game 1 of the D'backs-Cubs game, I counted four bits of information he botched.

 

[Mulli]

When Davis bunted, Stockton yelled "Lee!" The bunt was towards third.

 

[Dback Jon]

Stockton is an idiot.

And I hate Frank TV

How do they make a series out of that guy? He isn't funny.

lol

*shrugs* how do they make a series out of the Geico cavemen?

 

[D-Dogg]

His standup is funny, and his Bush is great.

As a show? Meh.

You liked Rich Little?

 

[D-Dogg]

You liked Rich Little?

Seriously, what kind of comment is that?

 

[D-Dogg]

Is it Stockton, or Stockdale announcing?

 

[Mulli]

Seriously, what kind of comment is that?

Not one of my best. It is late here.

 

[Black Jesus]

On Davis' bunt when Upton scored, he called Upton Reynolds. HE SUCKS!

 

[Mulli]

Was I supposed to get excited about the totally irrelevant Cal Ripken trivia question?

 

[D-Dogg]

Not one of my best. It is late here.

Not yours, Stockdale's. Or was it the other lunkhead in the booth who said that?

 

[Mulli]

WHO CARES ABOUT FLIPKEN RIPKEN IN 1983?

"Not over yet."

Really, Big Injured Foot?

 

[Mulli]

So I am not sure why Stockton keeps explaining the "if necessary" thing. I am like WHAT is he saying that again for, sheesh. "If necessary?"

 

[Lefty]

Yesterday Stockton said Byrnes was the only starter on the Diamondbacks with playoff experience, wrong! Tony Clark played for the 2004 Yankees.
