KingFishSupreme Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 While I am on a rampage, I thought I might add that Dave Van Horne is the worst baseball announcer on earth, and whatever other planet baseball or any variation of the game is played on. Â I don't need to go into details about the man's "work", but anyone who disagrees with me should go see an audiologist first thing tomorrow morning.

Beinfest4Prez Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 No, listen to the Devil Rays announcers. They suck.  Or actually, anyone who listens to Dan Lebetard and Stugotz, if you heard Stugotz's rant on why they can't be baseball announcers, that was absolutely spectacular. :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was answering phones during that show, I don't remember him saying anything anout DVH, but I personally like all of our announcers (I don't think that rant helps the case if 790 were to pick up Marlins broadcasts...after all, Stugotz is our GM) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelmsE Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I was watching a Pirates game on mlb.tv a month or two ago (why? I don't know) and was nearly crying due to some of the comments made by the announcers. It was unintentionally hilarious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherrealfan Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 The braves guys are the most coma inducing group ever, not counting Boog. DVH is bearable and for all the hoopla and love given Joe Angel, I never cared for him, especially for the worst call ever on a game winning hit in the 7th game of a world series to win in the 11th. And while we are on it-Sid really sucks, I can only take about 5 minutes of his New York this and NY that, and the Sopranos this and that-I can't wait for him to go to mornings and Joe to move to Qam, so the other horrible duo will be off in the AM-goodbye Bokamper and the other stiff. And Evan Cohen, we know you are a Mets fan, just stop telling us every 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are PLENTY of announcers out there who are much worse (some of them are Marlins broadcasters).  Go play in traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlin2266 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 ....... and for all the hoopla and love given Joe Angel, I never cared for him, especially for the worst call ever on a game winning hit in the 7th game of a world series to win in the 11th.  Beg to differ - JA was a great voice for the franchise. Love his "tmaitwc!" His WS call was good (not great) - "The boy becomes king.........." - obviously well thought-out, practiced, and delivered.  As to DVH - he kinda acted surprised when Beckett tagged out Posada - "And it's a world series win for the Florida Marlins" - What???? Still, his voice is bearable and, while it can be a suitable stand-in for Rozerem sometimes, a lot better than most MLB voices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Tank Frenzy Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 DVH's World Series call was extremely anti-climatic and boring. Show some emotion not White Sox annoncer emotion but show emotion that the team youve been calling games for all season just won the damn World Series. Â In 1997 Bob Costas' call was terrible. You could hear the disappointment in his voice that the 5 year old wild card team from Miami just won the world series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costas was so disappointed, it was like, "and darn, the Marlins win the series, oh pooh". He hated the wild card concept UNTIL the Mets made it to the WS as a wild card.
