T.V. announcers

[Lou]

Victor is very good

Gubi is meh

Langston is boring

Scully was good when he was alive

[Vegas Halo Fan]

If you want to be pushed over the edge, listen to the Yankees broadcast team for nine innings. John Sterling makes me homicidal, and normally I find announcers nothing beyond annoying.

i like John Miller

[bloodbrother]

Cubs crew is very good IMO. Len Kasper is a good PBP guy

[IEAngelsfan]

Scully was good when he was alive

At least he doesn't crave flesh..........I think.

[angelsfan164]

well I guess I'm out voted, but just listen to Vin Scully for 1 inning, and tell me Rojas compares in the least.

Nothing better than listening to Vin mispronounce names of players inning after inning after inning.

And telling stories from 1951 while remembering every exact detail spanning 3 innings

The dichotomy between brilliance and train wreck is priceless.

I miss listening to Dick Enberg and Don Drysdale in the booth.

it's orange, but it's flesh nonetheless

Vin only has about 60 more years of broadcast experience to draw on. But even he took 5 years to get Chone Figgins name right.

listening to angels radio now, Terry Smith on mic, makes rojas sound like an amateur.

Yeah, we get it.  You don't like hispanic broadcasters.

Geoff: you must be a democrat, cant win a discussion so bring out the race card.  Dope

[Dick B Back]

Don't know about announcers, but has anyone heard the crap that comes out of Eric Byrnes' mouth on MLB Network? He is a highly paid dork.

[m0nkey]

I like the Brewers main pbp guy.  Does some work for the NBA too apparently

[Bruce Nye]

Interesting thread (yawn).  

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Here's an interesting thing.   Calhoun breaks his bat, and Victor and Gubi reference the Beltre bat breaks last night, and chuckle.  Gubi says, "we had a great conversation in the dugout with Richards before the game."

 

We all know the story now.   It's pretty funny. 

 

How about instead of telling us "hey there was a funny story about broken bats," why not tell the story. 

 

If you're the color guy, be colorful and share those tidbits.  This is my problem with Gubi.   Share some good stuff.   

 

I'm surprised Victor didn't tell the story.

 

This is where I feel like Salmon outshines Gubi.   He has stories.   We don't need any insight (although I do like the pitcher perspective.)  Give us something entertaining while we suffer through another night where our offense is lagging.

[Tank]

victor is fine though there are times when he has long gaps of not saying anything.

 

i would gladly dump gubi for hudler. i think hud and rojas would be very entertaining together.

I miss listening to Dick Enberg and Don Drysdale in the booth.

 

for me, they were the gold standard of a broadcasting team.

Agreed.

and anyone who actually enjoys listening to hawk harrelson makes me suspect they played hockey without a helmet one too many times.
