I'll agree to disagree, as I personally love Buck's style. I don't think he's a "football first" guy. Yes, he does football, during football season, but I think he is just as effective calling a baseball game.
And
at you neg repping me for hating the Marlins broadcast team. I know broadcasts teams are supposed to favor the home team, but these guys, like the Hawk, take it way to far. They bitch and moan and complain when things aren't going their way or calls don't go in favor of them, and they root and cheer from the booth.
I hate that shit. Look, I get it. You work for the team, and you are, by nature, going to root for said team. But they are obnoxious about it. Vin Scully is arguably the greatest play by play man of all time. Listen to his broadcast and tell me what team he's rooting for.
Same thing with Dick Enberg. When the Padres would come through in jey situations, he'd get excited, but at the same time, when the other team made a play or got a big hit, he would call it objectively and leave his "homerness" out of it, which is how it should be done.
Also...here's a homer for you...
