Suzyn Waldman on Derek Jeter Plunking: “That’s enough of this Seattle”

All, Baseball, Video Tim Ryan July 26th. 2012, 2:06pm

Mariners ace Felix Hernandez lost control of a few pitches on Tuesday night and plunked Ichiro and Derek Jeter. King Felix then proceeded to break A-Rod’s hand with an 88 mph change-up. On Wednesday afternoon in Seattle, Jeter got drilled again, which of course led to a vintage moment from frequently dramatic Yankee radio announcer, Suzyn Waldman.

Following multiple sighs of disgust while John Sterling babbled nonsensically about how cute something was, the surly broadcaster said the following:

“You know, I’m sure none of these are on purpose, but these are major league pitchers and that’s enough of this, Seattle.

Waldman passionately playing the role of an overly protective mother rather than a baseball announcer is beyond endearing. The question is, since she clearly stated Mariner pitchers weren’t drilling Yankees on purpose, what has she had enough of? Bruised buns? Subpar pitching? The popularity of the Sounders? Please hit us up with an email if you happen to solve the riddle.

Still, it’s going to take quite a thunderous moment for Waldman to ever come close to topping her “of all the dramatic things I’ve evah seeeeeeeen!” moment upon learning that Roger Clemens — who was in George Steinbrenner’s box! — would be returning to the Yankees.

NEW YORK, NY) — New York Yankees radio announcer Suzyn Waldman became the first person ever to have an orgasm and simultaneously take a shit on the air yesterday as Roger Clemens was introduced to the New York crowd by Vince McMahon and Mr. Fuji as the newest member of the 2007 Yankees.
Waldman, whose silky-smooth voice is a mix between a shrieking terodactyl slowly drowning into a fiery tar pit and a constipated Axl Rose, is no stranger to climaxing on the air while describing her beloved Yankees (she grew up a Red Sox fan by the way). But taking a dump was something new for the longtime announcing assclown, unleashing a more guttural, horrifying tone.
(Listen HERE)
“Roger Clemens is in George’s box! Roger Clemens standing right in George Steinbrenner’s box!!”
No word yet if anyone has ever been inside Suzyn Waldman’s box.

I think Sterling and Waldman seem worse because it’s radio, and you can’t rely on the picture or replays.

At Bat now only has radio feeds (they used to let you choose radio or listen to TV feed), so I haven’t heard the NESN guys in a while.
Sometimes MLB network picks up the local guys for a game, I think, but it looks like this weekend I’ll get Joe Buck on Saturday, and the ESPN guys on Sunday.

And deciphering what Harry Caray was saying before those two. Stoney’s had a bit of a rough journey in the booth. At least Harry was funny though. The Steve Stone laugh count for his White Sox tenure has to be in the single digits still.
Always liked him when he was here, but he got a little too full of himself by the end of his run. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you, Stone Pony.

John Sterling is awesome. He has no idea the difference between a warning track fly ball or a 450 ft HR when it comes off the bat, but other than that he’s great. Waldman is obv terrible, I can’t even argue anything good about her.

add the late Harry Carey to the list of who he’s worked with. Stone was basically working with Will Farrell’s version of Carey on a daily basis.

This Scotty has a crappy Winn grip, and I’d like to go ahead and purchase a classier grip to replace it. Since it cleaned up so well, I’ve decided to hold off on sending it back for a full restoration and game it for a while.

Heard both sides. Never met the guy personally so I can’t offer a take. I’ve heard he’s pretentious and assuming but I’ve also heard that he’s approachable as well. I like what he does on baseball broadcasts so that’s good enough for me.

Hope that’s true. Probably some rumor Dusty Baker started about Stone. If I remember correctly, Stone called the toothpick wonder out for in-game decisions, they had a dust-up on the team place, and Stone was gone at the end of the season.
always loved Stone being able to say “if he throws one more breaking ball, he will strike him out” followed by a K. or “if he waits back on the pitch he will drive it to the opposite field and knock in a run” followed by the exact thing happening.

mullet – yeah, i wouldn’t rush into anything yet. take a look at their services, start mentally “shopping” the amount you’ll need, and game it until you are ready. They will send that thing back looking brand new. We sent one back at the shop I used to work at, and you literally couldn’t tell it had ever been used.
If you decided to go grip-only for now, I like the feel of the new Winn models, but if you wanna stay true to the Cameron look, just grab something SC branded off of ebay and enjoy it in the meantime.

I was being tongue in cheek. Larry Anderson is no comedic genius, his humor is more of the “kind of dumb so it makes you laugh” sort. It’s the type of humor you’d expect of someone who was probably a jock growing up.
