Is it too late to talk Tim McCarver out of retirement?

Tim McCarver's seat in the Fox MLB broadcast booth hasn't even cooled yet, and while his replacement hasn't been announced officially, a front runner has emerged: Harold Reynolds of MLB Network.

In September, a report from Richard Deitsch of SI stated that Reynolds was one of a handful of analysts in contention for the position alongside Joe Buck as Fox's A-team. In his media notebook column, Chad Finn of the Boston Globe reveals that Reynolds is the front runner and that his hiring seems like a formality at this point.

I bet you Harold Reynolds is the frontrunner because he's black. 

[ELEVEN]

Hershiser should be an obvious candidate.

[HaloCory22]

Awww ****. What the hell is Fox thinking? Bring in Matt Vasgersian.

As long as it isn't Buck Martinez.

[HaloCory22]

or Pedro

[yk9001]

I like Harold.

 

Fans don't ever like any national broadcaster.

[HaloCory22]

I didn't mind Harold too much at ESPN, but now that I've seen that hes stuck in the 1920s on MLB Network, I can't stand the guy. Brian Kenny takes his ass to school daily.

as long as it's not joe morgan . . .

How about Erin Andrews

[CaliAngel]

I can stand Hershiser and that would probably be the best replacement, but Joe Bucks still gonna be there so I'll be keeping the TV on mute.

Where's Roger Lodge when you need him.

[CaliAngel]

Call today, you can go tonight!

[tomsred]

Call today, you can go tonight!

Great, who are we playing, the Ducks or the Lakers?  LOL.  I still love how Roger talked about how Macier Izturis was fitting in to the Angels roster for 2013, only he was traded to Toronto two weeks earlier.

I don't care if he's never watched a baseball game in his life..just make it Gruden.

[Sully151]

Two words-

Wonder Dog.

[YouthofToday]

No to Hershiser and Reynolds. Ugh. There has to be a better, more coherent former ballplayer than those two.

It's not personal. Merely a preference in style.

Google why Reynolds left ESPN...

Haha! Gruden is awesome!

[notherhalo]

why not Suzie?

[Mark68]

So, Fox broadcasts are going to go from barely watchable to utterly unwatchable.

 

Does this mean that I'll see much less of Reynolds on MLB Network? If so, I'm all for it.

 

Hands down.

This solves nothing. McCarver was good at some point but he definitely needed to retire. Reynolds is just awful with his whole "old school" mentality.

Your post lacks grit, #want and a will to win. If you were a catcher your CERA would be reaching infinity.

Sutcliffe is the worst. I like Reynolds and Hershiser. 

[xboom28x]

I was hoping for Smoltz.

Ron Darling would be the best.
