I don't get the hate for Joe Buck. I also rarely see him calling games for my NFL (WFT) or MLB (O's) teams so to me him calling games would mean uncommon good things are happening.

Joe tried to call it like an NFL, or MLB game. I like Buck on the NFL coverage. He and Aikman worked together well. His WS coverage with Smoltsie was grand. But golf, no; it is not in Buck's wheelhouse

He wasn't particularly good but I still think FOX did a pretty good job with the US Open overall. It was a nice change of graphics and commenters from the usual NBC/CBS crews.

I think Buck does a very nice job. But, I'm also a Cardinals fan so he has a legacy.

Think you just nailed Boomer . . .

Joe Buck is despised because he’s a Cardinals homer. It didn’t show in the WS, but wait until your team is playing the Cardinals and he’s working the game. You’ll feel the hate then.

I felt the hate every WS the Astros were in. He. Does. Not. Like. Us.

Did you know Juan Soto turned 21?

You need to understand that a lot of baseball purists will always hate on the Astros given their actions marring a World Series.

I don’t like Buck for the same reason I don’t enjoy eating just a slice of white bread and washing it down with a glass of water.

I'm recovered from Joe Buck after the 2011 WS when he was very biased for the Cardinals. Otherwise he's fine. I really enjoy Smoltz, the two of them together are good.
