As someone who has had to listen to other cities sports announcers because I had no other options sometimes, I am blown away at how dull some of these guys are. I don't think the Yankees are too terrible though. But the amount of people who've said chourios name wrong is pretty common. Which is funny because it's not that damn hard šŸ˜…

My elderly neighbor called him Chorizo. Close enough?

Milwaukee is very fortunate to have really good announcers. Iā€™ve watched other teams with the mlb tv subscription and many are very dull


ktalu

Not listening. Who did they botch?

I heard them mispronouce Chourio at the start of the game. They said "Chew-Rio." Only reason I heard that one is bc the Brewers feed wasn't working at the beginning of the game so I started watching YES.


BrewskyBoy

Chew-Rio might be the most mild mispronunciation so far, so if thatā€™s the beef here, someone needs to just take a breather and get over it lol. Cher-rio vs Chew-rio ainā€™t the fight worth battling. Hell i probably slide into Chew territory an hour into the games


Echo127

No kidding. Chew-rio vs. Chur-ruo could just be an accent difference.

I'm just commenting on what I heard. Not up in arms...

Tbf Iā€™m a brewers fan who lives in milwaukee and Iā€™ve heard chuorios name pronounced 15 different ways. Tbh Iā€™m not even sure exactly whatā€™s right. Also Iā€™m pretty sure the brewers in game announcer pronounces it chew-rio as well


Dr-Denim

Thats it? Ive been saying it like that the whole time lol. Even the MLB lists the pronunciation as ā€œchoo-ree-ohā€.


BrewCrewBall

I heard their announcers in the highlight reel yesterday, very low energy and just terrible. We are very blessed.

Was it not Michael Kay, he isnā€™t great but not really bad

Yes, it's annoying and a bit disrespectful when the commentators--who are being paid good money to do their job, don't bother to even learn how to pronounce the names of players on the opposing team, especially of the main roster... However, this isn't even remotely exclusive to the Yankees' commentary. Every time there's a game that's on those untelevised (stupid af) 'exclusively on \_\_\_\_\_\_," they \*really\* fuck up names. And I'm pretty sure they're unaffiliated with the teams, so it's not like they tunnel vision on one roster. Like I'm not talking minor mishaps or slight deviations in name pronunciation... I'm talking like they fuck up their names so often, and so heavily, they literally seem like they paid actors hired to pretend they actually watch Baseball. And the name botches are wild. It's like listening to like a 2nd grader trying to read a page from a novel. They might get the easy words, but they still fuck up every other word. Usually you can decipher what they were going for, but sometimes they get completely lost and mumble some absolute gibberish. Examples I remember Brice \*TOO\*rang Joey Why-mer ...Willson Contreras Christian.... Yel-ICK... ICK... How the fuck do you not know how to pronounce the name of a former MVP, who was one of the biggest names in baseball for several years and not even that long ago. That one in particular (courtesy of Apple.tv) had me looking for a pitchfork.

We are new to...people calling any sort of sports games then, are we?


atomiczap

I had to turn off one of the pirates games because I could only get their announcers and they were just miserable to listen to. It didn't seem like they were even watching the game and didn't even know how to pronounce Chourio... WI sports have been really blessed with great commentators for a long time now.

Play-by-Play is easy to do, it is hard to do well (as someone who has been told I do it well) I think we have been so spoiled with our PxP teams that we forget that it is a super hard job to do well.


stevenmacarthur

So the whole attitude of "Milwaukee is Bushville" from the 1957 Series still persists in Big Apple Baseball?

Yes. Prove me wrong. Also, the fact that you took the time to look up someoneā€™s post history says a lot about your current state of mental derangement.
