You can't stand Buck Martinez messing up any non anglo name? Come on, Paul.
Paul Swydan
4:21
It's partly that, but it's more than that. I just don't like him very much.

dont listen to the jays feed ever, the announcers for the jays are terrible buck martinez and pat tabler need to go
Sean

the Jays feed on mlb.tv is pretty nice

Wow, Archer is in real trouble. Single, walk, single, walk.

Breaking news: Tulo breaks leg jogging to first.

I am all about the Jays Radio broadcast. I want Jerry Howarth to call my funeral.
Poor Man's Rick Reed

Audio opinions can certainly vary, but camera angle should be pretty definitive. Rays feed looking straight on.
Paul Swydan
4:23
Oh is it? I would switch to it, but I don't want to be behind. Interesting that them and ESPN have two different feeds.

What non-Scully TV broadcast do you like best, Paul? I'm a Cubs fan, but I think Len Kasper and Jim DeShaies is hard to beat.
Paul Swydan
4:23
I like pre-2016 Red Sox games the best.
4:24
To be perfectly honest, I often have the games on mute these days. Most nights for me involve editing a THT piece, and I find it hard to focus when I'm listening to audio where I don't know what's coming.
In other words, if I'm watching Moonrise Kingdom or Winter Soldier for the 100th time, I'm good. It's good background noise. Actively listening to a live game is totally different.
4:25
I like the Mets guys, I like the Padres, I like the Giants a lot.
The Rockies are terrible. The Jays are terrible. I don't care for Hawk.
4:26
Most teams are in that muddy middle where they're neither actively good or bad.
Here until Wrestlemania
4:26
Winter Soldier? Aight, which MLB teams are which Avenger? Oakland is obviously Hawkeye
Paul Swydan

I mean, let's save this for a day when baseball isn't exciting. This could be a whole thing.
CamdenWarehouse

I read a lot while watching baseball. I alternate between being able to move between the two seamlessly and having trouble reading. I get where you're coming from.
Paul Swydan
4:27
Yeah, it's different if I'm reading for leisure. I can get in a good rhythm of muting commercials and all that. But actively reading and editing is different.
Shirtless George Brett

I really like the astros broadcasts.
Paul Swydan
4:27
Can't say I have much experience with them.
Bad Hermit

"Moonrise Kingdom or Winter Soldier"? I approve.
Paul Swydan
4:27
Thanks!

multiple dimensions to best broadcaster. The guys who can provide good insight in a close, high-stakes game aren't necessarily the best at shooting the shit in an entertaining way when the game's at 8-0 in August.
Paul Swydan
4:28
That's true, which is why I love Don Orsillo, because he is good at both. Might watch a lot of crappy Padres baseball this year.
Shirtless George Brett
4:28
I use Armageddon as my default backround noise. I think i could probably quote the whole movie from memory
Paul Swydan
4:28
Yeah that's a good one. I watched that a lot in the VHS/DVD days.

no HR in the first game. Who hits 2016's first dinger?
Paul Swydan
4:28
Corey Dickerson?
CamdenWarehouse

Is this the first time a lineup has had two Logans in a row?
Paul Swydan
4:29
There can't be too many times this has happened.
Mike Oxlong
4:29
Why are you listening to an 8-0 game in August?
Paul Swydan
4:29
Because baseball is awesome.
cistulli fan

Oh, it's Paul. Any chance Carson joins too?
Paul Swydan

Gee, thanks.
