That was 17-year old Lazaro Martinez of Texas.
I agree, but it would be nice to hear some other voices. I'm sure its hard to get the variety, but it would be nice to hear from someone other than the 4 or 5 that always seem to be giving the commentary.
Yeah kinda/no.
Would not enjoy watching nfl games if they Always used the same announcers.
Or any sport where it's always the SAME.
Best commentary is a large screen tv on MUTE while listening to music
I like to hear the sounds of the game. Mic the table.

Music + ball sounds only.... with CC and mic off. Sweet.
Includ hau tu ponunk dar nomiz.
I don't think that it's about age.
Most of what's going on is just boring on the verge of pathetic.
In most sports coverage you have the main broadcaster and one or more commentators. The broadcaster is the pro that leads the broadcast and the commentators, the commentators are those who have the pro knowledge of the sports.
A pro broadcaster will know to keep thing alive and interesting.
With what's goes on today in most streams/broadcasts, I find it very hard to stay awake... best sleeping pill ever (I kid you not)

There's only a sliver of a layer where the commentary can add interest to the play. Break out and you get hype, bs, commenter show etc...
If that's better, the pool must be boring.
In the post-Incardona era of commentating, I think Karl Boyes is the best in the business.
My favorite ever American football commentator was John Madden. He was capable as an analyst of the play, but so were others in his day. What set Madden apart was his incredible enthusiasm for the game. When something remarkable happened, he got very excited, and that's why so many loved him. Anything that got John Madden excited, I reckoned, should probably excite me.
I think Karl Boyes is one part John Madden. When something exciting happens at the table, he gets excited and that's what I'm looking for in a commentator. Karl is one part analyst, one part host and one part fan and it is a powerful package. Jeremy Jones, an extremely capable game analyst, lacks this level of enthusiasm for the play when he commentates. Phil Yates is the happy medium, displaying the enthusiasm while lacking top analytical skills. All three of them are good at their trade but give me Boyes, the guy who gets the most excited about pool.
Finally, as Overlord notes, the commentators know far too little about the players. They need to show up more prepared.
