The casters are calling out games way to fast. They often don't even wait for an attack to hit and already say "I don't see any way from him holding this. XX won this."
Game 3 between Jaedong and sOs was already called out by the caster as unwinnable for sOs after the baneling bust was about to hit unscouted. Casters talked like there is no way sOs can hold it with the stargate.
Game 1 between Nerchio and Life was so often called as win for Life. Pretty much every engage until the last one Nerchio won i just heard how good life does it in what excellent shape he is and that he will win.
Elfi vs Stardust where Elfi pulls the probes. Casters talked before the attack only about how it will fail and StarDust will win the game.
And there are more examples. I mean they just miss out on so much hype. It would be way better to stop calling out games before engagements and just saying it favours someone, but this constantly "there is no way he is gonna hold" "with this he will win the game" is annoying and takes away the hype :/
Just because one got the bigger or better army it is no autowin. It still depends on the last fight. They took a guess that they would play right from now on. In each of games you described soon enough after call there was some stupid blunder. They were correct (maybe overvaluing Life's lead in that game against Nerchio) but the guy with lead effectively threw it away.
Yeah but I think that's exactly what's wrong. Casters should not assume that players execute everything perfectly, that the micro is even between players, the engagement will be even etc.

Well gee, I just hope that they would just try to explain these things to the audience... One of the things Day9 talked about in his dailies is trying to cater to everyone, the people who know only the basics of SC2 should find some sort of information to glean from the casts without boring the guys like us who know what's going on from the production tab. You can't get 100% and each caster finds his own way of catering to as many as they can. But what everyone can relate to is shitty jokes ^_^ Is that what he is trying nowadays? I remember that dailies were used to be him going into extreme nuances of the game in terms of build, timing, and decisions. Even in the dailies he would say things like "X player is messing up, he hasn't produced enough drones" in a way that implies to people who might not understand everything in the commentary that you should constantly produce drones.
Not exactly, its a tradeoff. If you constantly try to produce drones, you won't have enough army for that huge lategame engagement. You might not even survive a push by opponent OR you may not even have enough resources to do so even. Zerg are played upon economical risks and awards. So no you shouldn't be CONSTANTLY producing drones but rather choose to so at appropriate pace.
If that's truly what the dailies are saying, then lulz to that.
