    Houston/Yankees game announcer (female)

    I don't want to sound sexist, but this lady is really annoying with analysis' of different plays.

    In other broadcasts I have seen,, I get the feeling that Kruk does not like her too much.

    Agreed...Women ruin everything. I can't watch football on Sunday without being complained to, and now i can't even watch a playoff game on a Tuesday night. I swear, I can't buy women sportscasters because it just seems all...forced to me. Like they're reading off a piece of paper to sound like they know what they're talking about.

    I actually miss Curt Schilling. Their playoff broadcasts are being ruined by this bullshit, I don't want to hear her talk about baseball.

    As far as females go, she was really good I thought. Pretty natural, doesn't overdo it like a lot of females in sports. Doesn't say a lot that we don't already know, but neither do most announcers. Most of the people that have nuggets of great insight (Schilling, Costas) are usually unbearable in other ways.

    I don't think anyone is ever going to impress some of you.

    Jessica Mendoza is a stud. One of the greatest fastpitch players to ever play the game.

    I'm a big fan. I'm also a big Ronda Rousey fan. I try to champion womens rights as much as I can. I'm no misogynist.

    I only watched the first few innings and one of her comments was "you have to judge whether it's a strike or a ball then decide whether to swing" or something along those lines.

    When you are batting, you have to figure out: Am I playing golf, football, or baseball; then once you figure it out, you are able to hit.

    Archer was great.

    Maybe he was just a bit over your head.

    Great analysis from him tonight.

    I didn't mind her.

    Having the voice of Suzyn Waldman forever etched into my brain ("ROGER CLEMENS IS COMIN BACK!"), the bar was set pretty low.

    That chic is a 4X All-American Stanford educated Olympic Gold Medalist.

    I'd say she's a little more qualified than anyone here. Except maybe me...I coach first base on an elite 10U fastpitch travel team. So obviously I have a major fukkin clue

    She wasn't bad, but she isn't the best available. The point is, she wouldn't have been hired if she was a man. She got hired BECAUSE she is a woman. There are countless former MLB players out there who could do a better job than her (Boone, Orel, etc.)

    Chris Archer did the better job. Kid has a future in the booth and appears to be a good guy.
    His insight and experience was spot on.

    Doesn't change the fact that women should not be commentating on men's pro sports. Women don't have signature voices. Dorris Burke is the worst commentator/color analyst in the business. Her credentials are irrelevant. Clyde Drexler is also awful from your hometown state. Amazing player, a ton of knowledge about the game, but doesn't have the voice for broadcasting. Plain and simple.

    Re read who I responded and what I was responded to regulator. He brought up the other booth members. I still stand by she was easier on the ears than Archer.

    I'm confused man.....Chris Archer is not the lady in the booth. Don't know what "re read who I responded" even means.

    Enjoy the game tonight....and I'll stay out of this thread.

    Some radio guy tweeted this:

    she's fine. I am sure she is a little nervous (as anyone would be)

    she'll improve.

    i hope she stays, and she will

    It's like the old proverb goes: Wouldn't you want someone to be kissing you as a person, and not just a black man?
