I watch lots of free streams and it irks me when the commentators don't have a clue what they are talking about and don't see shots that are "obvious" to me.
I can't count how many times I sit here and hear both guys call the wrong shot or say "there is no possible way out of here for him", when the shot the guy actually shoots is the shot I saw as soon as he came to the table. He may have actually intended to get the cue ball where it was because it was the only spot he could get to the next ball.
And don't they watch the same view on their monitors as we do? I can't count the number of times they say he is hooked or blocked, when I'm sitting here and can see they can hit the ball.
IMHO, if you don't know what you are talking about in the booth, talk less. If you can't shoot, don't try to predict what they guy who can shoot is doing.
Rant over.
