USA Today ranks radio broadcasters

The Angels' on-air duo of Rory Markas and Terry Smith come in a puzzling 11th among AL broadcasters. While they're not great by any means, they're certainly better than most, IMO (of course maybe that's just the result of years of auditory violation at the hands of Rex Hudler and Steve Physioc). Both have pleasing voices and a refreshing no-nonsense approach to calling the game where, for the most part, while one is calling the game the other shuts his goddamn mouth. That's all I'm looking for (along with, you know, getting the play-by-play correct and repeating the score on occasion).

Also, it goes without saying that the Dodger's crew of Scully, Steiner, and Monday comes out on top - though it's pretty safe to say the latter two played little part in the tabulations. (via USS Mariner)

Comments:


One thing they do not do is tell you the score often enough. And while bland beats Steve Physioc listening tot he sound of his own voice, it is still pretty damn bland.

Terry SMith sucks but Rory is a decent announcer
