VIDEO: Joe Buck Had the Energy to Make a Great Call
By Kyle Koster
Joe Buck
Here’s what he did this past week:
- Called Game 7 of the National League Championship Series Saturday in Milwaukee.
- Called Games 1 and 2 of the World Series in Boston on Tuesday and Wednesday.
- Called the Dolphins-Texans game in Houston Thursday night.
- Worked an epic 18-inning marathon in Game 3 of the World Series on Friday night/Saturday morning.
Buck takes more than his fair share of criticism from the masses. In my opinion, much of it is unwarranted. Because when you want a big-game voice for a big game, it’s tough to find a better option. He was predictably stellar during last night’s 7-hour, 20-minute affair and came up big when the moment required.
His call for Max Muncy’s game-winning home run matched the moment.
Don’t agree? Well, in the words of Dan Cortese: Step Off.
Joe Buck is an absolute stud. 4 games in 4 days is just silly. Most NFL play by play guys/ladies spend an entire week to prep for 1 game. He will do a football game and 4 World Series games in one week at an incredibly high level. For those criticizing him for anything step off.
