RockyMountainMarlin Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 This is the first Marlins game I watch on tv and while I have nothing against Waltz its wierd listing to the game and not hearing Kasper's voice. It might take some getting used to. How has he been doing so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Juanky Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I think he's getting better and better as he gets used to being with T-Money and knowing how the players play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accord Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 The day wouldn't be complete without a new Rich Waltz thread. I can now sleep peacefully tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeFish Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 We should have a Rich Waltz subforum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin Nation Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Sadly, that might be a very good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoShaq Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I don't know if it's because Kaspar is an announcer for an opposing team now or what, but when I turn on a Cubs game on WGN Tv, I cringe at the sound of Len's voice now. I don't like it anymore,lol! I think Waltz voice is cooler sounding..more of a real broadcaster's voice. I think I am going to end up like Waltz better than I ever liked Kaspar at anytime in his three years in Florida. Keep up the great work Rich and let's keep the once-a-day Waltz thread going here,Hahahahahaha!!!! Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ24 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 to add what i forgot it seems like after a loss theres a thread saying that rich waltz is a negative Homer etc.(one who calls the game for our team but roots for the other) or when we win there is thread saying how you really like his voice and how its growing onto you or how you like himmore than you did tommy and that at the beginning you didnt but now you really do.

I wasnt at all enamored with him. Waltz is definately growing on me. He is showing more emotion, and him and Tommy are playing off each other better and better, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Moneyball Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I will always admire Len Kasper's voice. Like an old timey radio guy. Classic voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heckeroo Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Rich isn't earth shattering, but he's alright with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minus_13 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Len sounds like Kermit the Frog, but he is exceptional at what he does. He pauses at the right time, shows emotion at the right times, and the way he calls a game is just excellent. It's strange to hear some of you complimenting his voice. His cadence is definitely a throwback, but his voice is nothing to write home about. Rich is settling in. You can't expect him to show the emotion Len did after just a few games, just as Len does not show the emotion he did here while doing Cubs games. But it will come for both of them. As they both learn their teams, their efforts will improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flag Man Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Radio is doing it. DVH (the classic voice) and Roxy coming on strong. Get real. At least, try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramp Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I happen to hate DVH(nice guy, dont like his voice) and I like Roxy but, I cant handle the delay from radio to tv or vice versa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins2003 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I am unabashedly a fan of Waltz. he's won me over 100%. He seems genuinely excited by the game as it unfolds in front of him and he seems to fitting in with Tommy very nicely. I have to agree about DVH - bores me to tears.

Flamarlins3 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I like Waltz a lot. The one thing that he does that bothers me, if Tommy makes a point or a joke he then completely changes the subject and I always feel like he kidn of leaves Tommy hanging. Other than that he is good. DVH is awesome...I've only listened to one of the games on the radio this year, but I like him. In past years radio is all I listened too and I always kind of felt like I was actually watching the game. He does a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
