Why would you bench Encarnacion? He's got the hottest bat in the lineup. Tom
From: Jeff on 29 Jul 2007 18:45 Agreed about Juan for now I think Schumaker deserves a chance to start and he is a decent fielder.

Cardinal announcers have consistently butchered the names of Cardinal players since I began following them in 1968; but eventually corrections come. Has *anyone* noticed that the OF's name is LudwiCK? This annoys me almost as much as "Poo-holes" and "Poo-Holtz" And these are spoken by people who never bungle "Encarnacion." lol

It's as if they can't even be bothered to read the name on the jersey. Jay Randolph was calling David Eckstien "Ecksteen" until a couple of months ago, but regressed yesterday. I'll give him credit, tho, he corrected himself (probably because Rick Horton gave him a dirty look!). Rene Knott on channell 5 calls Juan Encarnacion "EncaNARcion" and I find that maddening, as well. I've heard other non- Cardinals announcers make the same mistake. Jack Buck was pretty good with Hispanic and Latino names,I guess in part, because he was fluent in Spanish. That and he did his homework. ;-) I suppose the bottom line is lack of preparation on the the parts of the various announcers. What would it take for them to ask a player, "How does one correctly pronounce your name?" Tom |
