While I loved Bill King as a Warriors and Raiders announcer, he paled in comparison to the aforementioned as a baseball announcer. Dave Fleming is a very good baseball announcer and he may go down as a Dick Engberg type, a versatile announcer who is superlative at every sport he broadcasts. While I am a Giants guy, I really appreciate Ken Korach, Glenn Kuyper and Ray Fosse. I appreciate good broadcasting, and I can definitively say that the SF bay area is blessed with the best announcers in the country. I hope that the bay area enjoys the wealth of riches.seminoledanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17643557067627946391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-64829360988453469482016-04-11T19:05:57.614-07:002016-04-11T19:05:57.614-07:00At ending of Sundays game ,Miller mentions some bi...At ending of Sundays game ,Miller mentions some bizarre starting rotation with LA Orel Hershiser in it then corrected it.Did anybody catch that?

Here's a few: (not in any particular order)<br /><br />1). Dan Rusanowsky - he makes hockey sound fun for the non-fan (me)<br /><br />2). Tim Roye - Warriors fans: turn down the tv sound and turn up the radio. TR is 100x better than whatever dope is on local tv doing the games.<br /><br />3). Up & comers: Justin Allegri & Kevin Richardson - PBP and color for San Jose State football. One of the best college football teams on air in the west. <br /><br />Time to retire: Joe Starkey. He's half-blind and can no longer see the entire field. His Cal football broadcasts are an embarrassment. He was never very good and now he's just plain bad.<br /><br />Also just plain bad: The guy doing Stanford football. Horrible. You would think that a school like Stanford with the many millions they have in the athletic department alone, could afford to hire someone half-way competent to call their football games. No. Chance.

What really shouldn't be debatable is the quality of the overall Giants broadcast compared to what other markets around the country get. Some of you guys should take a listen and then come back and comment on the Giants broadcast. It won't take long to find that most of the country (Vin Scully and few others excepted) are saddled with Jamie Baker-homer types that are shills for their clubs and really tiresome to listen to.

The latter just didn't agree with me.<br /><br />The one on the Giants' staff who really needs to tone it down is the PA announcer. It's baseball, not WWE wrestling or monster trucks. A PA announcer is supposed to be pleasant and informative, not insert themselves into the equation. And it must be noted that this criticism has nothing to do with their race, or gender.EX500https://www.blogger.com/profile/04900422854709665443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-60281750405137555132016-04-10T18:53:42.997-07:002016-04-10T18:53:42.997-07:00Which broad is KRONNNNNNNN's high priestess......Which broad is KRONNNNNNNN's high priestess...Darya, Anny or Robin?<br /><br />What happened?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-7278982214919016242016-04-10T18:48:41.610-07:002016-04-10T18:48:41.610-07:00I think you mean "complement."I think you mean "complement."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-64814614578778910242016-04-10T18:44:11.733-07:002016-04-10T18:44:11.733-07:00Maybe he should get an orange rug like Vin.Maybe he should get an orange rug like Vin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-70415292197599191582016-04-10T17:11:54.898-07:002016-04-10T17:11:54.898-07:00The Hunter Pence grand slam followed a Buster Pose...The Hunter Pence grand slam followed a Buster Posey strikeout.
