In-game player interviews: I only watch for one reason..

[Xenomorph]

If it's a straight up interview, then I have no interest. Even if it's one of our guys with the headset on. I only want to see how much the guy's teammates screw with him.

One of the games this weekend, somebody put a chewing gum bubble on the Florida player's head. It was hilarious and we watched. Then somebody took it off like they had been scolded and we booed.

Then our guy goes and it's a 17'ing yard sale. Buddies coming out of the woodwork to make it as difficult for him as possible. I can't recall one question that was asked but it was high quality entertainment!

Damn, I miss playing baseball...

Agree. Those things are awful. I cut the sound down

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Got a link a clip for those of us who only listened?

The interview conducted while the player was in RF during Spring Training was pretty good though.

The water bottle was classic.

"Just eat it," wasn't bad, either.

It was O'Sullivan who grabbed the bubble gum.

Same here. I hate those things. Automatic mute. The whole schtick of messing with the interviewee is somewhat entertaining at the moment but my fear is that it becomes ingrained like the inane gatorade shower.

I'm over them. They need to end two days ago. I watch baseball to watch baseball not to see how gay ball players can be. Par for the course for this "look at me" generation.

I apologize if I've offended anyone on the board that is homosexual.

Now get your gay *** off my lawn!*

I hate the in game interviews too. Really distracts from the game when they split the screen. Shows lack of respect for baseball. If they tried to do that during football or basketball games, the coaches would tell them to get bent.

I can't stand the head coach interviews during football season when they're on their way to the locker room at halftime. Coach of losing team ALWAYS says gotta play better defense, coach of team winning says played good half but gotta be ready for other team to come out better in 2nd half. Its just meaningless coach speak

Tommy Mace's interview the other day for Florida sounded more like the dialogue during a bad date
