I haven't heard enough Giants, Cubs, or Mets broadcasts to really have much to say there.

Can't really argue with Vin Scully at the top. He has one of the smoothest PBP voices I've ever heard. Knocking off the top spot would kind of be like kicking Barristan Selmy out of the kingsguard.

IMO Thorne and Palmer are excellent. Bordick is kind of vanilla. Replacing him with Ben McDonald or Brian Roberts could be an improvement.
If you've ever watched another teams broadcast, you'll know how good we have it.

We are very fortunate. Gary is top three for certain.

Absolutely. If the Orioles aren't on but the Nats are, it's almost unbearable to watch due to FP Santangelo and the PBP guy. I can't remember his name but those two together are insufferable.

One of the benefits of MLB.TV is being able to do just that...and I have listened to just about every other group in MLB. I do think Jon Miller remains at the top of my personal list of play by play though Vin Scully's voice is iconic. But Jim Palmer is the best color guy and there is no one even remotely close.

I thought Scully and Miller were radio guys. This ranking TV correct?

Scully is definitely also their TV guy ... I watch the Dodgers often when the O's aren't on because I know that when we lose him it will be the last of the greatest generation of baseball broadcasters finally gone (he's retiring at the end of this season) ...

Jon Miller is the Giants' radio (and occasionally TV) guy, and when we played them last season I, with all due respect to our team of Palmer and Thorne that I love dearly, elected to listen to the game via the Giants' broadcast for nostalgic reasons of the days when Miller was ours ... he is almost a throwback to the Vin Scully era of guys ...

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      It looks like Castillo has about 4/92 to go, forecasting him to get his 4th year from here to vest.    Maybe 3/68, but he hasn't done the job you hope if he misses that vesting option. His 2024 was bad by his standards.    I think he is the one Seattle trades if they move someone big for Bats, but I don't think Elias will be as strong on him as I have sometimes thought he might be in the past year. Burnes' suitors - I think David Stearns and Corbin Burnes is one of the most notable GM-player dynamics this winter.     Burnes might feel like Stearns is dead to him, but Scott Boras is probably advising him that isn't smart business. The Mets have ~$175M coming off payroll.    Cohen's strategy with Verlander and Scherzer wasn't wrong - the players just proved old and weak.    Stearns could go Soto $55M AAV and Burnes $35M AAV and have it barely be half.

      Improving perfomance of players at Major League level

      Across the majors, are AAA hitters coming up and doing well or struggling at first? I wonder if the hitting is due to robo umps in AAA so they clearly know what the strike zone is and in the majors is flavor of the day with whichever that ump decides.

      Fangraphs updated top prospect list

      By RZNJ · Posted

      So, it doesn’t matter which list he is #1 on as long as it’s one list?    Fangraphs is clearly going to be an outlier.   It’s doubtful that Baseball America, Pipeline, ESPN, Just Baseball, The Athletic, etc., etc.  are going to have Basallo #1 based on previous rankings. Fangraphs is the same place that didn’t have Cowser in our top 10. I’ll give you a half pat on the back because someone had Basallo #1.   The full pat on the back comes when another major site does it.

      If money is no object, then this is where I'm going 1. Gerritt Cole (if he opts out) 2. Juan Soto

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By CTBear · Posted

      He hit 96 on the gun in his final start. His September was really strong and he made the postseason roster. He pitched very well at Camden Yards too. I’m hoping he can build off of some of that success and win a rotation spot out of spring training.

      I would still try to resign Santander.  I think he improves the chances of winning a World Series in 2025 more than any other addition the O's could realistically make on the position player side of things. I don't see us getting Soto or Alonso. I think 4 years, 75 million, wouldn't be that crazy. Ages 30-33 seasons.  I also think he could play some 1B in the later years of that deal. He might get more, but make him say no to that.

      Grasyon pitched 122 inn with Bal and 41 inn with NOR in 2023.
