Was anybody else watching the game online and hear one of the commentators talk about how he couldn't believe how many people from MS had enough money to drive to Omaha to watch MSU in the cws? He started back pedaling immediately, but still was an assholish thing to say.
ESPN 3 commentators
- Thread starter Shadow34
- Start date
The ESPN3 commentators are usually the home schools commentators. I have heard a few references to Mississippi this evening. For the record Auburn has some of the douchiest baseball announcers in the league. They are constantly saying derogatory things about the opposing team.

Damien Fishback (auburn hoops player) is the same way. If auburn plays, his *** is calling the game and he's not any good. The color guy tonight was actually upset with the way that auburn was playing.
They gave Mitch Slauter hell two years ago for his little fist pumps on strike outs. Well Mitch thought his pitcher just threw strike 3 and hopped out of his stance behind the plate and did his fist pump. The ump ruled it a ball. These 17's ridiculed him the rest of the game for that. Just extremely unprofessional, bitter bitches and demeaning to whoever is whooping Auburn's *** that day.

Who was it tonight? Just curious. I listened to a few innings on Auburn radio. It sounded like listening to our announcers in the last few weeks. (Begin frustrated whining voice.) "We cant get a hit. If we go down three run this game is over. We're throwing it all over the place. And there's another strikeout." and on and on and on. The exact same things we've been complaining about for the last ummm all season.
You may have watched it on
Espn 3, but it was a css broadcast. Css is going off the air at the end of May. It was Matt Stewart and Joe Beckwith on the call. Beckwith grew up in auburn and played at Auburn, so you should have expected his homerism.

Joe's a good dude but I doubt he even tried to be objective, and I also doubt he would care what anyone thought.
Didn't bother me, if you put a hometown guy there, that's what you gotta expect. Matt Stewart has always been fair to State. Got no problem with Matt.
The guy who said that was the CSS guy, not the Auburn guy. The Auburn guy was clearly an Auburn guy, but wasn't necessarily offensive about it. But he definitely knew more about their team.
He doesn't realize CSS is pretty much the same. They use the schools commentators to cover games. I watched an OM football game last year on CSS. Richard 17'ing Cross was the commentator, complete with CSS jacket and earphones with mic. To listen to Richard ON was would be competing in national championship last year.
