July 26, 201014 yr comment_1202958 Meh....like the one poster said, I'd rather them be excited and into the game instead of announcing it like it's a golf match.

July 26, 201014 yr comment_1202959 I got mlbextrainnings this season and all I have to say is that we're pretty lucky to have Waltz and Hutton. After hearing the announcers for the Rays, White Sox, and A's, I really don't care what other fans have to say.

July 26, 201014 yr comment_1202968 Hawk Harrelson is terrible but steve stone is one of, if not the best in the biz. The guy that Stone replaced for the white sox was b.r.u.t.a.l. ..and its amazing how much sox fans love harrelson.

July 26, 201014 yr comment_1202974 Dewayne Stats' was blessed with the most annoying voice on the planet, how he's an announcer for anything is beyond me. I hated him when he was with the Cubs in the 80's. For the most part our announcers like others teams are homers, that's not necessarily a bad thing, like the White Sox "good guys" crap. I do like the excitement our guys bring to the both, and I would also say that with the exception of Jay Randolph and Gary Carter the Marlins have been blessed with decent announcers. Still all in all I'd rather have Len Kasper over Rich.

July 27, 201014 yr comment_1202977 I got mlbextrainnings this season and all I have to say is that we're pretty lucky to have Waltz and Hutton. After hearing the announcers for the Rays, White Sox, and A's, I really don't care what other fans have to say. I agree with this completely. Objectively I think Rich and Tommy are pretty damn good. The biggest criticism I've seen fans of other teams make about them is that they are homers. Honestly, there are far worse homers around the league. Hawk Harrelson (who you mention) calls the Sox the "good guys" and the opponents "bad guys." While he's universally disliked, the Giants guys (I know their names but can't spell them) are considered pretty good announcers. They are much, much bigger homers than Rich and Tommy are. You will see this during this coming series. On the other hand, announcers can be really boring and not passionate enough. I remember thinking this about the Pittsburgh crew and Cleveland (I think). Vin Scully is clearly the best, but I have difficulty in coming up with a crew better than Rich and Tommy.

Pirates, Mariners, Tigers, Orioles, Nationals and Braves are worse but he worst are the White Sox and Diamondbacks. I think that after the Hawk (Chicago Sox), the Nationals guys are the worst. Rob Dibble prides himself on not doing any prep-work, argues balls and strikes more than Tommy ever did, and is a massive homer. Bob Carpenter is also a huge homer, talks too slowly, and has a terrible voice.
