We got to see him toss a football around a bit while sitting through the t.u. game that wasn't.

As far an announcers go, mute the tv sound and listen live on A & M radio broadcast . Granted they may not be in sync.

also not a good baserunning decision there when down 3 runs...and the next batter is the tying run

cannot make out #3 at home plate



The old baseball rule is... never make the third out at third base. Getting aggressive at home plate here is fine unless it is the ninth inning..

Best defensive play of the year? One of the best in the last couple years?

Bear was fired up at the end...


He has a cannon!
He reminds me of Nick Banks we had the outfield


Or Daylan Holt, Tyler Naquin

No offense to Nick. But he was no where near the level of Holt or Naquin.

It's not difficult to get them synched. In fact, quite simple.

Of course not, but he wasn't bad for a lefty. I asked AI for the greatest LH throwing outfielders, and the answer I got was Ichiro (kids, this is why your schoolwork sucks).

I guess Junior is the best one I can recall...?

I wonder if the UF announcers are still crying about it
Ha! They def went back and back and back to that tape. I found it to be entertaining.

And we have them both.

Google Nick Banks throw in Baton Rouge against LSU. Runner tries to stretch hit into Double. Not saying he is Naquin, but he had a great arm.

The camera didn't show if the runner was tagged before his hand touched home. But it did show that the home plate umpire was in perfect position to make the call. And Bear's reaction said it all.


Everyone in the world knew he was out. The UF announcers, while understandably homers, were simply reaching for straws.


I think the ref was the only one in the ballpark to know if that glove hit his shoulder before the hand snuck on the plate

Add in Kellner who plays good defense at a premium position and leads the team in walks. .900+ OPS in the 9 hole

Wow, dramatic much?

You guys need to toughen up, you're taking it pretty damn personally, announcers do that all the time they'll look at it and call it a way and then be like wow I'm surprised. Happens in the pros and college all the time. There wasn't anything unprofessional about that. They seemed like two earnest guys that were doing their job and we're Florida announcers.

My God you guys just need to concentrate more on the game. If that is the worst announcing you've heard all year I don't know what the hell you're watching.

Some of you go from emotions of wonderful baseball, our players are fantastic to basically spitting on players and announcers. Try to find a more even keel you'll be happier in the long run. I promise you. Life is just too damn short to get this upset over two guys who were very complementary to A&M the whole time.

That's the last I'll say about it but seriously there's a lot more important things in life than getting upset about announcers that weren't even that bad.

Try to enjoy the games more. No one plays perfect ball. No one.


Im not sure what to say if you can't hear the difference in "regular bias" of home team annoyncers versus the over the top bias these guys displayed. Why do you care so much that we want to focus on it for just a second?

Worst announcing ive heard all year? Maybe, maybe not - bottom half for sure. Most biased announcing? Yes, by a large margin.

Nobody is taking it personally, but ridiculing these guys before we move on to the next series is perfectly warranted.

It was fine until they went deep into the next half inning still showing the replay. Oddly enough they only showed the angle from behind the UF player so you can't see just how far off the plate he was sliding and therefore how far he had to reach to get to home plate. They used that angle to definitively claim he was safe when the other angle showed it was closer/more likely out.

Isn't the full adage: Never make the first or third out at third base?

I think the actual rule is: Don't make outs.

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
