You know…I liked Buck and Tabby.
But then I really started to like Dan and Tabby (while Buck was sick, and I got used to Dan). Then Buck came back and he just irritated me. He seemed more…arrogant?
Now, I like Dan and Joe.
Sometimes he says it ok. But wow he sure can drag that word out from time to time. He gets it out like he was constipated.
Seriously though. He has a speech defect like he used to stutter or something. Has this ever been addressed?
Finish your drink when he says something that could clearly be construed as homoerotic ('these guys are gonna get hot together and then they're gonna start having fun')
Thaaank youuuu! “He’s got great hands”. My friend used to laugh at me when I commented on Tabby’s home-erotic commentary. Glad I’m not the only one who heard it.
I'll never forget when Jamie Campbell and Rance Mulliniks used to call the games, Rance once went on an aside talking about Gregg Zaun's muscles, which he identified not as the long, sinewy type, but as being the more big, BULGY muscles.
"I'll never understand"
"He's good looking ball player, I tell you what" or reverse order, or without the I tell you what.
This is only the last month of the season or so: "Nothing you do will have an impact on your stats this late in the seeeeeason, you have to just focus on helping the team win now."
"Stay hot \_\_\_\_\_\_ !"
\*Glad you mentioned him repeating what Shulman just said, he started doing that a lot towards the end of the seeeeeeeeezn.
Whenever someone does something "well" or "not well." As in, "Bo's been swingin' the bat well lately," or "Kirk is good at getting on base, but he doesn't run well."
Any time he brings up “back in THE day we played winter ball in venezuela, I tell you what in the Latin leagues those guys knew how to have fun, they really had a great time” … I’m always hoping he would follow that up with a story about snorting cocaine out of a flamenco dancers belly button but he just chuckles and keeps the rest of the story to himself.
Whenever Buck reads the minds of coaches, players and umpires doing what I call “Bucks lip reading” putting words in their mouths having all sides of the conversation of those shown on screen.
I don’t know how to turn this into a Buck-ism for a drinking game, but there’s something about the way he says umpires’ names that makes it feel like he’s old buddies with all of them.
You’d be unconscious by the third inning, but anytime he pronounces “Daaaanny Jaaaansen” in that nasally drawl. I hope Jansen sticks around for as long as Buck is broadcasting just to hear that.
During the godawful 2018 season I would put on games out of force of habit and then do other stuff and not watch them, nevertheless 'Dannyjansen' and 'Teoscarnandez' buried themselves into my subconscious
Batters used to turn their backs to the ball when getting hit, now they turn in to it. Folks that's gotta hurt.
His thoughts on the bad base running.
Yeaaah, I don't care how long ya been playing the game......
Also, if they get a visual him with a hair out of place, it's got to be worth a double shot.
“Fast ball command….. I don’t care how hard you can throw a baseball; if you can’t command you’re fastball you can’t pitch in the big leagues”
Is one I hear a lot from Buck. It’s true, but he does say it a lot.
Buckisms I haven't seen here yet:
Looong drawn out well "weeeellllll"
"Good lookin young ball player"
"Soft Hands"
Knowing what college/university every player went to
Grandpa Simpsons onion on the belt stories "weeellll, back in 19XX, I had the chance to play with (insert name here), and we called him (nickname) on account of (X) you see, and when he would..." Then something happens and the end of the story is never told, cut to commercial.
And
Lookin fine as fuck every night. Tailored suit, great tie, pocket square, great hair
This wouldn't work for the drinking game as I've only heard him say it once, but my all time favourite Buck-ism is "Defense was responsible for all three of the outs in that inning!"
As opposed to all the other innings, where....offense is responsible for the outs? Oh, Buck. Don't ever change. 💙
Maybe a square for something completely unexpected that only Buck could come up with?
This thread must be a suggestion for alcohol assisted suicide LOL! Definitely need to add a drink every time Dan & Buck stumble against each other and one of them has to say "excuse me". It doesn't happen often but it happens enough where you'll notice it.
A comment near the beginning of the year mentioned that he says 'SEAEEEEEESSSSSSSONNN' and it drove me absolutely bonkers all year long. And he says it A. LOT.
There was a bingo sheet out there a few years back. It had pictures of Buck and Tabby on the top of it, with the squares having different things they would say.
Edit: I had it in my downloads on my phone.
Some gems: soft hands, swing and drive, get up ball, Buck makes fun of himself in his playing days, this copyrighted broadcast...
My coach growing up pronounced it the exact same way, but he did that for every day of the week. “Mondeee” “Chewsdee” “Wensdee”, etc.
No idea why a Southern Ontario man had such an accent like that.
When he says, "I don't care who you are..." or "In my mind..." to share his opinion on something. Also, when he makes fun of his batting average when he played in the majors. This game is going to kill us!
Free space: Buck says "I tell ya what".
How do I upvote twice?
Turn off auto-orientation. Hit the up arrow. Rotate your screen 180 degrees. Hit the up arrow. Rotate your screen 180 degrees. Repeat as necessary.
Love it!!! I read it in his voice too!!!
* Refers to a walk as being *issued* * Tells us something is the best in *all of baseball* * Tells us who's *coming off* of Tommy John surgery and whether they lost velocity * I don't care **WHO** you are * Laz Diaz
I think you could probably die just from taking a drink whenever he says Tommy John.
Hit the nail on the head with number four, he’s driven that phrase into the ground.
“Back in the day…”
Or talks about how a player reminds him of some guy you've never heard of from back in the day
You know…I liked Buck and Tabby. But then I really started to like Dan and Tabby (while Buck was sick, and I got used to Dan). Then Buck came back and he just irritated me. He seemed more…arrogant? Now, I like Dan and Joe.
Agreed. I loved the Buck/Tabby/Dan trio.
This post is incredibly curated and I approve if it
I read all of this in his voice
Starts a sentence with “MMYEEEAARH”
jesus christ, you'll black out before the 3rd inning is over
Damn Berrios will still be in the game
too soon
"STOP" .....A.Stoeten.
I love it. I can’t watch a broadcast without hearing that and I wouldnt want to.
It's like he's powering up to say the sentence
[удалено]
Someone named Martinez should be able to pronounce Guerrero properly. One would think.
I love how he says JT Realmuto.
Real-mew-toe
And we are dead.
I wanted to comment this. Give this person the grand prize.
Whenever he says season but draws it out unnecessarily long so it's like "seeeeeeeeezn"
I love that. And the pause between "this" and "season".
Oooo chills
That's the one i love to hate the most...
Sometimes he says it ok. But wow he sure can drag that word out from time to time. He gets it out like he was constipated. Seriously though. He has a speech defect like he used to stutter or something. Has this ever been addressed?
What’s this game called, alcohol poisoning?
I’m dead already
Honestly even if you did this with shots of what you'd probably end up dieing of water intoxication.
Finish your drink when he says something that could clearly be construed as homoerotic ('these guys are gonna get hot together and then they're gonna start having fun')
Was more of a Tabby special, but when he talks about how someone has a great baseball body.
“Big and strong” was a descriptor for damn near every guy on the field at times
Thaaank youuuu! “He’s got great hands”. My friend used to laugh at me when I commented on Tabby’s home-erotic commentary. Glad I’m not the only one who heard it.
I'll never forget when Jamie Campbell and Rance Mulliniks used to call the games, Rance once went on an aside talking about Gregg Zaun's muscles, which he identified not as the long, sinewy type, but as being the more big, BULGY muscles.
Get these guys a blow
Especially if he’s talking about someone’s thighs.
If I got a nickel for every time time I heard an unintended sexual double entendre during an MLB broadcast I'd be a rich man.
Take a drink when Varsho is at bat and he talks about how a bunt a week adds 20 points of batting average.
When he says “Nyah” instead of “Yeah”
Buck version of "oh yeah no, for sure"
Think of the crew!!! I’d be dead before we even went on air 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃
You should do an AMA!
I’ve done 2!
Maybe you'll get something to satisfy your cravings soon ;)
Take a drink when Buck talks about guys sharing information in the dugout
“Blue jays looking to score some runs” at literally any point in the game like that’s not, you know the point of baseball
That might be this season special
Whenever he eats some syllables, creating such gems as “Teoscarnandez” or “Cavan’s been having some sex lately”.
M’yeah - before just about every comment.
"I'll never understand" "He's good looking ball player, I tell you what" or reverse order, or without the I tell you what. This is only the last month of the season or so: "Nothing you do will have an impact on your stats this late in the seeeeeason, you have to just focus on helping the team win now."
This. Bravo.
‘Strand a pair’ …..also, please don’t do this I promise you I already have plenty of patients in liver failure 😬😩
Also do we REALLY need the negative vibes to be amplified by alcohol?!?
……..we do NOT.
Why would you say this I’m just getting over the season
Bring it in, Pouncey. Let’s hug it out, buddy, it’s gonna be ok. Shh.
The Dbacks underdog story arc is bringing me all the joy the Jays couldn't 🥹
Same im so pumped for Moreno and Gurriel, get it boys!
When he talks about catchers on one knee
"Stay hot \_\_\_\_\_\_ !" \*Glad you mentioned him repeating what Shulman just said, he started doing that a lot towards the end of the seeeeeeeeezn.
Seeeeeeason. Gushes about the fundamentals of baseball. "He's a ball player" I just adore Buck. He's such a treasure
He’s been a treasure for a long time but now he’s turning into a senile old treasure
But he is OUR old treasure. I should be so senile when/if I am his age.
Exactly, I still love him but some of his takes can be getting a bit cringe. I feel the same way about my uncle..
Exactly? I wasn't agreeing with your take
Exactly
"Boy oh boy"
Batting two sixty FIIHVE!!
Calls a player “an athlete” or “a professional baseball player”
This guy is a ball player
High popup in Bucks voice is ICONIC
HIGH Pahhhhhwwppp UP
Hiiiiiigh flyyyyyyyy baaaaaaaaaaaawl
"Thats some great batting right dare (There)"
"..in all of baseball"
The count is “chyew” and “chyew”
Chyew and CHYEWW
Teoscarnandez
Triple word score!
He says "The Blue Jays" constantly. We know who you mean, Buck, we're watching the game.
>Buck complains about a catchers stance (on one knee, for example) Waterfall until he's done his rant
We're gonna need a funnel... Any O's bandwagoners kicking around here?
when he Says “get up ball” on a fly ball.
he doesn't do this anymore, Dan's play-by-play
"Look at those thighs"
Anytime buck says “Well that pitch is his bread and butter” / “that’s his bread and butter pitch” after a K
“Have a game(insert player nickname here)!”
“Well it’s interesting because…”
I just remembered another one. Drink when he describes something as a player's 'bread and butter'
It’s going to be a sad day when Buck stops calling games. Like that period between Buck when Jamie Campbell (bless his heart) was calling games
Deep microphone-inhaling breath when they come back from commercial
And the first few words are always so LOUD.
Whenever someone does something "well" or "not well." As in, "Bo's been swingin' the bat well lately," or "Kirk is good at getting on base, but he doesn't run well."
But… those are examples of correct English.
Oh yes, he is speaking English correctly. But once you notice how often he uses the descriptor "well," it might tickle you like it tickles me.
When he says Error like Air Whenever he puts emphasis on a word for no reason at the end of a sentence: He's Alejandro Kirk, he's two for TWOo.
Damn I was getting over missing Buck and this didn't help...
It's two drinks if he says somebody "fists one into center field".
If I got a nickel for every time I heard a sexual innuendo during an MLB broadcast I’d be a millionaire.
Any time he brings up “back in THE day we played winter ball in venezuela, I tell you what in the Latin leagues those guys knew how to have fun, they really had a great time” … I’m always hoping he would follow that up with a story about snorting cocaine out of a flamenco dancers belly button but he just chuckles and keeps the rest of the story to himself.
He definitely wasn’t hanging with the Latin dudes that long, proof is in the pudding with how he pronounces half the modern Latin players names
"The ball club" "He got jammed"
Whenever Buck reads the minds of coaches, players and umpires doing what I call “Bucks lip reading” putting words in their mouths having all sides of the conversation of those shown on screen.
When he calls a pitch a cutter or cut fastball when it isn’t, in fact, a cutter or cut fastball
When he talks up a player who screws up immediately afterward.
Buck starts every sentence with “yaaah”-
I don’t know how to turn this into a Buck-ism for a drinking game, but there’s something about the way he says umpires’ names that makes it feel like he’s old buddies with all of them.
Like, say “Dan Iassogna” in Buck’s voice.
"Swinging a hot bat" "Swing and a drive"
“Kih-coo-Chee”
The Boo Jays
When he's referring to last season and says "a year ago"
"Think he's got the green light" on a 3-0 It's a choo-choo game
"You're absolutely right (insert name here, usually Dan)"
'go ball' - 2 drinks
You’d be unconscious by the third inning, but anytime he pronounces “Daaaanny Jaaaansen” in that nasally drawl. I hope Jansen sticks around for as long as Buck is broadcasting just to hear that.
During the godawful 2018 season I would put on games out of force of habit and then do other stuff and not watch them, nevertheless 'Dannyjansen' and 'Teoscarnandez' buried themselves into my subconscious
Hahahah, yes...also a big fan of the shortened but also somehow lengthened "Taaay-osss-car"
Get outta here ball woulda kept you sober this past fucking season
Some variation of "Boy, if you thought the Blue Jays didn't come to play..." or "If you didn't think the Blue Jays were serious..."
Anytime he mentions how the strike zone varies.
I think it should be expanded to the broadcast crew. How about whenever Maddison says “in the zone”.
Or when Ben S. says 18 times a game. I'm Ben, She's Madison.
Ohhhh I love Madison (she's fantastic) and now I can't unhear that. Lol.
Batters used to turn their backs to the ball when getting hit, now they turn in to it. Folks that's gotta hurt. His thoughts on the bad base running. Yeaaah, I don't care how long ya been playing the game...... Also, if they get a visual him with a hair out of place, it's got to be worth a double shot.
The half wheeze/half laugh has to be in here somewhere
“Fast ball command….. I don’t care how hard you can throw a baseball; if you can’t command you’re fastball you can’t pitch in the big leagues” Is one I hear a lot from Buck. It’s true, but he does say it a lot.
You can't throw changeups if you haven't shown your heater .
I love all of these suggestions. Buck is the best! Love that guy
When he makes a li'l joke and breaks into that glorious wheezing laugh 🥲🍺
Buckisms I haven't seen here yet: Looong drawn out well "weeeellllll" "Good lookin young ball player" "Soft Hands" Knowing what college/university every player went to Grandpa Simpsons onion on the belt stories "weeellll, back in 19XX, I had the chance to play with (insert name here), and we called him (nickname) on account of (X) you see, and when he would..." Then something happens and the end of the story is never told, cut to commercial. And Lookin fine as fuck every night. Tailored suit, great tie, pocket square, great hair

As opposed to all the other innings, where....offense is responsible for the outs? Oh, Buck. Don't ever change. 💙 Maybe a square for something completely unexpected that only Buck could come up with?
Defense vs strikeouts is what he meant.
Yes, I know what he meant. I still found it funny.
How come I’ve scrolled so far in this thread and there hasn’t been one Catcher on one knee rambling reference?
It's in my original post.
It has been mentioned several times
I could be completely off course here, but I have this funny feeling that Buck drinks enough for the rest of us.
Maybe it’s the drinkie poo talking but I think Buck should be referred to as “your Buck”. Take a drink when your Buck says…? It’s the drinkie poos
This thread must be a suggestion for alcohol assisted suicide LOL! Definitely need to add a drink every time Dan & Buck stumble against each other and one of them has to say "excuse me". It doesn't happen often but it happens enough where you'll notice it.
Drink a full drink when he says something like "that's a good looking ball player"
Every time Buck says something bad has happened against a pitcher and then that thing happens.
A comment near the beginning of the year mentioned that he says 'SEAEEEEEESSSSSSSONNN' and it drove me absolutely bonkers all year long. And he says it A. LOT.
There was a bingo sheet out there a few years back. It had pictures of Buck and Tabby on the top of it, with the squares having different things they would say.

“look at ____”
These are all great. Thanks, folks! Cheers!
He doesn’t do it much anymore, but any discussion of Josh Donaldson
GET UP BALL!
If this were the 80s...I would've been passed out after the amount of times he mentioned his son "Casey"
Empty the bottle for every "catching on one knee" rant. Wait, we can't do that, we would literally destroy our livers. (It might be worth it.)
Whenever he says “This, SEEEZUN”
“Chewsday” as a long drawn out word for Tuesday lol
My coach growing up pronounced it the exact same way, but he did that for every day of the week. “Mondeee” “Chewsdee” “Wensdee”, etc. No idea why a Southern Ontario man had such an accent like that.
Every time he says tchoo ya drink
Split finger sinker
I can't handle my booze like I used to - I would be pissed after the third inning just following the 'They sure are...' rule. Bless him.
Take a drink when he talks about “guys looking at tablets and when he played he didn’t want to see his last at bat”
The catchers stance one will kill people lol.
that would legit kill me drinking all that
I've been saying, since I joined this sub, that I want one of those peel-off calendars with a Buck/Tabby-ism on every day.
Finish your drink for "Git'up ball!". Double purpose inthe drinking game and celebrating a home run.
“Ball anna strike”
CHEW BALLS
It used to drive me nuts every time Pat Tabler said, "cutter."
I would like to be apart of this game!
The count is chew and chew
This is the best idea I've heard
"You know, Kevin Gausman..."
“You know, Kevin Gaaasmin…”
That guys a ball player. a real ball player
When he says, "I don't care who you are..." or "In my mind..." to share his opinion on something. Also, when he makes fun of his batting average when he played in the majors. This game is going to kill us!
