Mosconi Day 4 Matches in Progress Coverage

Gotta agree that the commentary is really awful. Jerry doesn't seem to be able to tell the difference between easy shots, hard shots, and impossible shots.

Maybe they have a bad view of the table, but still.
 
Another great shot from Nikos on the 6 ball. Perfect position for the 7 ball, but a tough shot on the 8 now.

I thought maybe that was it until I watched some of this on my phone. Just how bad a view can they have?

Nikos needs to block out rack two now, and he breaks wet. No really good shot on the two but Nikos makes a nice cross side bank. Good chance now, but the six to the seven may be tricky and it will be hard to get from the seven to the eight. Tough eight ball is hit superbly and he runs out.

Nikos 2 Shane 1

Shane to break the next one.
 
Watch a match on YouTube in silent with a buddy and you try to comment on it and predict the cue all paths and safety play... There are very few people who are good at commenting on pool in the world.... Because it's very very difficult.

Agreed, some of his calls show that he doesn't understand some basic physics of pool. Great talker, but as others have said, they need an expert commentator.

Less is more seems to be a good way to go. If you don`t have anything clever to say - shut up...

Of course, very few can predict what pros will play. It takes a pro-level player to do that. Jim Wych was a pro snooker player and does ok when he predicts shots, but he rarely takes that role. Even if he did, he hasn't the experience of a pro 9 baller.
 
SVB just gave Nikos ball in hand. Damn commentator said the score is 3 -1... (it`s 2 - 1)
 
Watching SVB miss all these kicks makes me want to go out and play in traffic.

Nikos atoned for his rack two error with a killer runout in rack three and now shane has a chance to tie the match.

Shane breaks rack four open and it is wet but doesn't spread the balls well. Gambles on a tough cut on the two and makes it but hooks himself on the three. Shane's kick is missed completely and Nikos has ball in hand. Ket shot will be the seven to the eight, and my screen freezes. Ouch!
 
I think it might have been an error to put SVB in two matches back to back. The loss in the first match messed with he`s head.
