Do you think we could get the new baseball play by play guy who is a UT grad to be at least neutral.

Could he be at least neutral? I am not asking for a Larry Munson homer. I just want neutral and every once in a while say something positive about the school that is paying him?
 
Its hard not to be critical of our team...we could play bad news bears and make it close...some of worst baserunners i have seen at this level..and thats the simple truth
 
To expound some more, one of the things that people loved about Cawood Ledford was that he had the ability to be critical of Kentucky and was honest about when they'd played poorly. He was certainly for UK, but he could also be hard on them at times. This is key for a radio guy because he is your eyes. If you were watching you'd think that the steal was a bad idea or the player should have gotten to the ball or the hitter shouldn't have swung at that. Since you're not watching you can't tell and need the radio guy to he honest about that. Headrick does this for the most part. You might claim that it's not being a homer or that he's not for UK but that's just ridiculous.

I wrote my comments last night watching the game on ESPNU and listening to him on radio. I did not mind Cawood being critical. But Cawood was complimentary This guy could find the glass have full a little more than he does in my opinion...
 
I've done the same numerous times this season and not once have I had an issue with him.
