I watch other games, and Reds announcers were the worst.  Barry Larkin as a Hall of Fame Red does bring knowledge of the Reds and Baseball to the games.  I was sick of 9 innings every game of these guys talking launch angle and spin rotation and what The Old Cowboy is eating after the game. Barry is actually talking Baseball, not non stop computer charts. 

I find it interesting you have decided on Barry Larkin though you admit you have not heard him yet.  Considering the Southern Ohio, Kentucky area, some people of this areas reasons for not liking Barry may be as simple as black and white. 

I certainly hope that you decide to check yourself on that comment.  Barry Larkin is one of my all time favorite Reds.  The fact that I could understand another person's interpretation of his broadcasting skills has nothing to do with "black and white".  When I get the opportunity, I will listen and decide for myself, weather I'm a fan of Barry behind the mike or not.  However, your implication of possible racism as a reason for my acceptance of an unbiased opinion, such as that of FSV, is just...cheap.
