Re: What anouncers can't you stand?
I guy I like calling games is Gary Thorne, BUT I'd like to know what some Orioles fans think about him because to me he doesn't seem to really give you the impression he's for the home team. I don't like the home guy going on and on about the team but an example would be last night's walk off. Throne almost sounds like he's beside Orsillo calling the game for the Red Sox.Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.Comment

Re: What anouncers can't you stand?
Gregg Zaun is hands down the worst color man to ever sit inside a booth.
He replaced Jerry Remy who was out for medical reasons when the Red Sox visited Toronto. Not only did he offer nothing every time he talked. But the biggest problem was he never shut up.
I was hoping Dennis Eckersley would fill in but he didn't make the road trip. He's not the best but if a game is dragging along he doesn't hold back about how much he wants to go home. Don't even get him going when there is a rain delay or extra innings.Comment

Re: What anouncers can't you stand?
He's a lot better in the studio but keep in mind that this is his first year doing work in the booth. He's actually not bad on the radio side which is where he's doing his apprenticeship under the steady hand of Jerry Howarth when Ashby goes to TV for Buck Martinez.
I'm going to guess he'll get better over time. He's a lot more deferential on the radio and does make some good points. Granted, I didn't see the Boston broadcast so I can't tell how bad he was but that was his first game on TV so he may have been over amped.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Chris Berman's play-by-play at the homerun derby is getting pretty tired. Some of that stuff was fresh and amusing in 1996, but now it just makes my head hurt.Comment

Re: What anouncers can't you stand?
It's ridiculous. What was he thinking? Like, he's been an announcer for 15 years, or whatever it is, and he just decided this winter that saying that line after wins would add to his broadcasts? I don't get it.
Thinking about it, baseball announcers are pretty bad overall. I can think of multiple crews in NFL, college football and basketball, and NBA that I really like. In baseball, there's a bunch that bug me, and a bunch that are mehh. I can't think of many that I really like listening too.Originally posted by Jay BilasComment

Re: What anouncers can't you stand?
1/2 of it is right.
Stoney wasn't fired, he just didn't accept a new contract with the team. The players were critical of Stone's comments too.
