That's when I turned the game off. 

I don’t know how he’s done it, but O’Neal has gotten crappier each week. And Gubi is zero help for him (and us).

And there it is, the most insipid and boring call of a triple play you’ll ever see. 
 

I can’t wait for O’Neal and Gubi to be gone. 

I like Gubi...

[Tank]

And they’re still talking about that Ranger scoring from first on a single. Definitely an impressive accomplishment, but I think our boys in the booth have turned it into something personally erotic.

I’ve lost my appreciation for him. His mannerisms and sayings have become annoying and terribly uninteresting.

 I'm listening to Spandau Ballet's Greatest Hits.

I wonder if O'Neal knows how terrible he is at his job...

Likewise, I wonder if Bally sports knows, too.

Sure is nice when the guys come through with some quality clutch hits with men on base.

After the past couple months I kinda forgot what that was like!

I think he's probably very aware--which, in a way, seems to make it that much worse, because he seems to be trying way too hard.  He's the most unnatural play-by-play guy I've ever heard.

Stassi…..is a really bad hitter….and slow…

I was watching the game and saw we had nobody out after Adell's clutch hit, walked to the kitchen, came back and the inning was over I was like WTF?

Of course it was Stassi that killed the rally with a triple play. Really getting fed up with that bum.

O'Neal has been trying way too hard all season.

Sadly, no one seems to have provided any guidance to help him improve.  I can only imagine that they must be saving a considerable amount of money with O'Neal, compared to someone like Victor Rojas.

Oh well that's good that they're financially conscious.

Hopefully saving money to ruin the telecasts offsets the $105 million we've been paying Rendon to sit on the IL for the past 3 years.

He's been Peter Principled - play-by-play obviously isn't his thing, and like you said, sometimes tries waaay too hard not realizing how grating it is after awhile.  Needs to go back to the studio or something.  

Reminds me of a training video I just watched - someone obviously told the presenter to "emote more", but all the head bobs and twitches and flailing arms made it look like she had Tourette's - the longer it went on, the harder it was to take.

Can we please have a 162 games tv play-by-play guy next season?

Two years of this is enough!

If we go 8-6 the rest of the way, we won't have 90 losses.
