I guess everyone has their favorites and the opposite, guys they can't stand listening to..
I suppose I got spoiled growing up listening to Reds broadcasters of the past. They're not Marty and Joe and never will be. Joe earned his chops working with Waite Hoyte and the rest could just never live up to his great stories from those great Yankee teams with Ruth, Gehrig and others then over to the Reds.
We all know what we like and don't like. Waite Hoyte in today's baseball would likely bore the hell out of the impatient fans who want non-stop action or something like that. Hoyte was famous for his rain delay broadcasts. Rain delays often now spell the end of the game on radio..These guys have nothing to talk about to entertain fans or perhaps they do, but the radio station owners have no patience and only care about instantaneous revenue over well informed and entertained fans.. IDK..maybe I'm just too old school about these things.
BTW, the Reds/Braves game here in SC is blacked out on mlb.tv except for radio.. I guess I might be able to suffer through one every now and then.
