Guest meanmaisch Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 What does everyone think of Tony Gwynn's skills in the booth? I really enjoy his commentary and analysis. He brings a relaxed style and a great knowledge of the game. He's as smooth in the booth as he was at the plate.
Guest jimmy no nose Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 He's a pretty good announcer. I wouldn't tune in specifically to watch him, but he does add something to the games I do watch with him.
Guest Some Guy Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 He's gotten much better as the season has gone on. He was stiff and uncomfortable at first but doing Padres games mostly and a little experience has helped him a lot. He'd be a pretty good Baseball Tonight guy as well.
Guest Vern Gagne Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 Very enjoyable. Obviously has great baseball knowledge, but does come of as full of himself. I wonder why he's taking the SD State job. It seems like alot of work.
Guest meanmaisch Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 He's taking the San Diego State job because it's what he wants to do. He was talking about coaching for them before he retired. I think he would be a great manager.
Guest Some Guy Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 I think his son goes there and he likes working with young players who actually listen. I bet he'll be SD hitting coach in a few years and possibly the manager at some point after that. he seems to have enough people skills and knoweldge of the game to pull of the manager's role.
Guest Choken One Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 He has that Gentle Manager friend written all over him.

Guest alkeiper Posted August 10, 2002 Report Posted August 10, 2002 You can say that again. I like Gwynn cause I never hear him say "back in my day" and he seems genuinely enthusiastic.
Guest The Man in Blak Posted August 10, 2002 Report Posted August 10, 2002 I dig him - he gives a fairly honest (and objective) player's perspective and doesn't BUTT in every other second with "pearls" from his past baseball career.
Guest Choken One Posted August 10, 2002 Report Posted August 10, 2002 Which is What I can't stand about Joe Morgan.
Guest Some Guy Posted August 10, 2002 Report Posted August 10, 2002 In fairness to Morgan (who I don't like) it's usually the other moron with the hair over his ears who brings things up like that. For instance every Sunday night game at Fenway they show Evans robbing Morgan in the 75 WS. But all the Barry Bonds blowing from Morgan is really annoying. We get it already! Bonds is a great hitter and you love Willie Mays. Gwinn seems to me like Ted Williams, a guy who really likes the game and hitting in particular. Gwinn is only a few months removed from playing but I don't see his passion dying because the players change.
Guest alkeiper Posted August 11, 2002 Report Posted August 11, 2002 It's not just Morgan's announcing. His columns on espn.com are terrible as well.
Guest Some Guy Posted August 11, 2002 Report Posted August 11, 2002 I try to ignore him as much as possible, so I've never even read one.
