I don't have a problem with him calling the game and announcing that the pitcher has not given up any hits. The way I always looked at it is you are calling the game for the public audience not us baseball fanatics that live by this superstition(like me). How else is Jane Smith from Reedsburg going to know something big is going on if she is a casual or new fan to the game. Its all about the masses not us die hards.

 

PS... has anyone ever tried to call a game on the radio while following this rule it would sound pretty silly.

I don't care much that he decided to talk about it; but I agree that he comes off as a knob while doing so. Given this; if Sutton was still here...he might be a bit insufferable by now.

Sometimes comments on this board are just borderline ridiculous (spelled correctly).

 

It's his job to inform us what is going on. Sure, there is a superstition about not talking to the pitcher, but when did any of us start playing for the crew, since that's the ONLY context in which this stupid tradition is acceptable IMO? Not everyone watching is as knowledgeable as the collective Brewerfan.net brain.

 

It's not like he shouts "hey, kids, Santa doesn't really exist, and it's really your folks that hide all those eggs at Easter time, so forget about the Easter Bunny too!".

 

Bottom line is, some here don't like him and any stick to beat him with will suffice. I mean, Brian and Bill keep mentioning the consecutive HR streak and we keep extending it. Maybe the ridiculous superstition franchise didn't get the "no-talking about Fight Club" memo for that record...
