Thought I'd give Coatas and Verducci a listen last night. Well, I don't know about anyone else but when Luke Voit hit his homerun and they were in a split screen commercial I had had about as much of that as I could take. How ridiculous was that. MLB network usually does the right thing but that went on all night. Plus I can only take so much of Tom Verducci trying to impress us all with his baseball acumen and knowledge.
In the end I went back to YES and listened to Kenny David and Paul. those guys are great listen.
this....just call the fucking game
I recall a few years ago, when FOX had Verducci and
Harold Reynolds working with Joe Buck. That lasted a year,
since Verducci and Reynolds were 'fighting' for air time.
FOX apparently came to their senses!
I don't mind Costas, but at times, he can come across as
sanctimonious...that's when I hit the mute button.

This. Thas what I like about Kenny/Paul/Coney yea they tell stories but they always make it relevant to whats happening on the field, and with Kenny how can you go wrong with an Earl Weaver story?
Anderson (I think that's his name) just doesn't shut up. I understand being a homer, but his presenting a senerio that didn't happen yet is pie in the sky stuff. What a dreamer.

Brian Anderson was a former big league pitcher.
In fact, he pitched against the Yanks in 2001 WS
with Arizona.
Fred - At least Dwayne Staats wasn’t in the TB booth yesterday. What a whiney complainer.
Hope you and Carol are well.
I also really love listening to O'Neill. He is such a goofball. He is as close to Rizutto in the booth in a long time.

Totally agree Matt and great analysis of Kenny. He's my favorite Yankee announcer since Jim Katt, who had IMO, a lot of the very same traits as Kenny.
Both guys were extremely talented on the field and in the booth but never beat us over the head with anything.
I think you're right about the O'Neill/Scooter thing too. I could see Paulie in another ten years or so doing something similar to hitting the bridge as soon as some lightning is in the area.
