Posted July 17, 200519 yr We're half way through the season, and I think many of us went from hating Rich Waltz' guts with a passion to loving him and his style. So vote on what you think of him. I really like him now, although Len is still the best.
July 17, 200519 yr I like him...needs a little work on the home run call, but thats my only complaint right now
July 17, 200519 yr I don't like him. is not so much his style or voice, but his commentary is not good. It either stating the obvious or jinxing the team.
July 17, 200519 yr Author why no "neutral" choice? 858752[/snapback] Forgot to add one :confused . Admin or another mod, could you add a "neutral" option to the poll?

July 17, 200519 yr He's pretty good, but I watched a Cubs broadcast and remembered how awesomely great Len was.
July 17, 200519 yr Don't mind him...his voice isn't annoying or anything like that. Color guy makes the booth anyway. I'm neutral.
July 17, 200519 yr I was one of the biggest Rich supporters earlier but I voted neutral. I can honestly say, the only PBP guy I've ever loved was Len.
July 17, 200519 yr im nuetral, but a few more jinxes and im gonna hate him, right now, he said lui was among the top in not striking out.......................... lui striked out
July 17, 200519 yr Hearing him now for the first time besides the clips on MLB.com this weekend. He's pretty decent, I think I'd like him if I got to hear him all the time.
July 17, 200519 yr Hate him. He always jinxing the Marlins ! :mad Like just now - No outs , Luis up with Pierre at second and a 1-2 count , he starts saying " Luis of course, is one of the most difficult players in the NL to strike out, currently 4th in the league " I knew right away Luis would strike out. :banghead Damnit Rich, use some common sense !!!!!!
July 17, 200519 yr I really hate him... He tries to be cute with everything. He says "kid" way too much when talking about young players.... A lot of the time he says things that don't make sense.... He says a lot of things that don't make sense to casual fans, assuming everyone knows what he's talking about.... I'd really wish he'd just say what was going on in the game, and not try to be cute with the way he says everything.... Also, he'll say the name of a player, and then say nothing else... For example, he'll say: "Juan Encarnacion!. . . . . . . . . So Tommy, the Nationals lost today..." Unnecessary and annoying as hell.
July 17, 200519 yr im nuetral, but a few more jinxes and im gonna hate him, right now, he said lui was among the top in not striking out.......................... lui striked out 859042[/snapback] he is always jinxing the Marlins with his cute comments about what an excellent job player X is doing, or how player X rarely strike out. Let the commentary to Tommy and call the damn game, or make the comment after player X finish his AB or inning of work.

Unnecessary and annoying as hell. 859059[/snapback] very very true..he does those kind of things and sometimes will talk to tommy about personal stuff like he's forgetting that he's on the air
July 17, 200519 yr RUN JOE RUN!!!!!! RUN JOE RUN!!!!!! That call alone made me go from hating him to love him. I only hope we can give him more exciting moments to call in the second half.

He's good on home run calls and the like, which is probably what was on his audition tape and what got him hired. But during the other 99% of his on-air time, I hate him.

July 17, 200519 yr Author Remember how he used to root for the other team? Good times. Someone must have said something to him, because for the past month or so, anytime the opposition hits a home run, he has this really quiet negative sounding call :lol .
July 17, 200519 yr Waltz is terrible and annoying. AND Tommy is starting to sound just like him. I've always like Tommy but I now just turn down the volume.
