Sutcliffe is terrible. Don't have a problem with Kurkjian or Ravich, though that could just be fond memories from my youth.

I actually don't hate the Sunday night crew. Think the chick is pretty good, and Arod not horrible. He's a step up from Smoltz anyway.

Jim Edmonds is my current favorite announcer, though he only does ~ 1/4 of Card's games. Excellent mix of stories and technical baseball talk.

Vasgersian is great. imo. Arod is good. Girl is ok. Best announcing crew ESPN rolls out in any sport. imo.

yeah I always question whether their downfall was more like an illusion caused by getting older and more cynical instead of being a credulous kid

but nah, they have gotten so much worse. objectively

even the guys FJM used to dunk on would be 1000x better

This past sunday game had a conversation about yanny v. laurel, the royal wedding, and mario batali. It's the people in their ear's that ruin it. imo. As for the guys calling tonight's game they are complete garbage to begin with.

the only way it could get worse is if they added Dennis Miller

Ive gone to the Tacoma Rainiers game, first time. Both lineups riddled with major leaguers.

Nice stadium.

Angel Hernandez just made the worst ball calls on obvious strikes I’ve seen in some time.

All called balls in the 8th and 9th, pretty impressive.

Conspiracy: Angel pre-emptively filed the lawsuit because he knows he's ****ing awful and likely to get fired otherwise

The NL Central standings are crazy, when you consider Milwaukee dropped 7 of 8 to Chicago.
