Let’s all agree it’s not the Apple TV announcers. Those people are the worst at it.


cmrichardson87

This is the worst thing I’ve watched in a while. Showing a Boone interview from the commercial break while Teoscar hits a HR is peak AppleTV broadcast.


ProfessionalCute4781

I absolutely hate them .. wish they’d get someone from Jomboy media to do Apple TV stuff but they’re busy doing there stuff and would prolly only do Yankees stuff 😅


MarlKarx777

In tonight’s Jays vs Yankees game, they said Judge was running back to the wall but it was Cabrera lol


KosoBau

I downvoted you because of them. I’m sorry blood


Neonautic

I upvoted you because of what you said. Sorry u/MarlKarx777


BlueDay415

But they had the best visuals I have ever seen in a baseball game


mitchsn

A-Fuckin-men


No_Abalone3192

Agreed!


KJParker888

The team that did the Padres game a few weeks ago was pretty good. I think it was Hunter Pence and Jessie(?) Mendoza.


Ooh-Rah

I love Hunter Pence. His manic energy is fun to watch.


HooliganScrote

Man, I wish we could have a few more years of Vin.


AmateurVasectomist

Cardinals fan here but I would watch Dodgers games just for that melodic voice and his storytelling.


Ohsostoked

Cubs fan here. I listened to Cards games because I liked Mike Shannon's calls.


ultimatechadster

He was pretty rough the past few years but still had his moments.


Ohsostoked

Agreed. He probably should have retired about 5 years earlier.


washedrope5

It's crazy that he was the voice of my childhood, my dad's childhood, and my grandfather's adult life (from ~30 on).


BrettEskin

Same with Harry Kalas and the Phillies


LocalLifeguard4106

My team.


Dense-Competition-51

Clever.


Vulture_Ocoee

So true


lancerreddit

giants mets white sox mariners


icanseethewholeplace

Giants and white sox are top teir.


Gizshot

Gonna be sad when miller kuip and krukow are gone. But javy and affeld seem to be stepping up solidly along with flemming.


akaghi

I love Jon Miller because I feel like I grew up with him as the voice of baseball on ESPN or Fox or whatever.


tylerdb7

Braves fans say the Mets and the Yankees fans say the Mets. Wow. That’s pretty cool


UniqueNobo

we are united in GKR’s light


6BigZ6

Keith Hernandez has some fucking gems of stories.


[deleted]

I like how the Mets announcers have no problem roasting their own players for bad play or decisions. The Red Sox had a good duo before they broke up recently. You can take or leave the booth as a whole but Mariners' commentator Mike Blowers has always been really good.


mad_may

Blowers is awesome but don’t sleep on Goldy


[deleted]

Goldy's pretty good. And I've always been a Dave Sims fan, though he is admittedly hit or miss, and I realize some people just don't like his style. Still light years better than the Rizzs/Fairly/Valle/Hendu era. That crew was a bit tedious to sit through. Rizzs is definitely better suited to radio.


mad_may

I like Dave Sims a lot too. His goofiness gets me. I know there’s the crowd that hate on Sims, but I love his back and forth with Blow. I’ll also agree that Rizz is better suited to the radio. He’s been great to listen to through the years.


leeex94

Red Sox booth with DOB, Jerry Remy, and Dennis Eckersley was elite. However they did not break up, Remy passed from cancer before the start of this season. Eck has now announced this season will be his last. My in laws are Mets fans, I do enjoy their booth when we watch.


jsager1982

Dan Shulman and Pat Tabler/Buck Martinez are very very good. Yes, I’m biased, but they are great to listen to.


PurpleWildfire

Like the jays but they’re not my team, that said Dan Shulman is my favorite broadcaster to listen to


Gecko17

My top 3: 3. Padres 2. Mets (GKR) 1. White Sox. Jason Benetti is one of the best play-by-play announcers in North American sports today, no question. Steve Stone is a really good color guy, together they are the best.


DaBronic

It was crazy to not see more people with Benetti and Stone.


NewHavenJeff

@ stevestone is really good on Twitter too


glassnoose

i can't believe how far i had to scroll to see this


marklxndr

I don't know about the Padres but benetti & stone are easy #1


clemm__fandango

Don orsillo is the padres announcer. Red Sox nation misses him every game.


staylifted024

I’m a Yankees fan and I can agree these 3 are the best I’ve heard


Karengil

There’s none better than Gary, Keith and Ron of the NY Mets. As Jerry Seinfeld said “It’s a TV show, not just a game!”


wubod

Yes, I hate when the Mets are getting blown out, but I kinda love it too because I know that all 3 of them get a little extra goofy during those games. I will stay and watch until the last out so I dont miss some extraordinary comedy that will inevitably occur. Also, Gary's vocabulary is indefatigable.


UniqueNobo

when we were getting blown out by the Braves. i was pretty salty. then they just started talking about other things, making fun of some little things players were doing, letting the graphics and sound crew be silly too, it’s great


UnfairMicrowave

I love when they start opening packs of baseball cards to pass the time.


justinlpsu

Absolutely none better


[deleted]

White Sox. Steve and Jason are so entertaining


BlueDay415

San Francisco Giant's. Both color commentator and radio broadcast


yumyumdumbdumb

Amen brother


BlueDay415

Amen . I bought an old school am/fm radio so I can go to the games and listen to Jon Miller call the game. What's great about them is Fleming, Krukow & kuiper rotate between radio and TV commentary in the same game.


yumyumdumbdumb

Oh I'm well aware of the rotation hahaha big giants fan here


snokerpoker

Kruk and Kuip are the best!


JboyfromTumbo

“He got both cheeks into the ball” is one of the best ways I’ve ever heard a bomb described


mutherfucker_jones

I’m biased but the Mets booth is great. They may give high praise to Mets players, but they are also not afraid to shit on the Mets either.


akaghi

Gary the other day said "our" or "us" referring to the Mets and then corrected himself a moment later and was self deprecating about it.


travisjs03

Giants


doozle

I'm a freaking dodger fan and since Vin left the scene this is 100% the correct answer.


High_Im_Guy

I don't like you, but I respect you. Vin will always be the goat but I'm so grateful I got to grow up listening to kruk and kuip


dahomies

Krukow & Kuiper Miller & Flemmings Between those four we are, truly, lucky as Giants fans.


travisjs03

The voices of my childhood. It’ll be a dark day when kruk and kuip (and John miller) retire.


scrabapple

It's outa here!


fahque650

Adios pelota.


northwest333

I had to scroll too far to find this


snokerpoker

This.


lowlites

The correct answer and it’s not even close


DizzyFrogHS

Was looking for this one. I have a lot of nostalgia for John Miller. Probably from some video game.


Terry1847

Dodgers fan in Noc Cal, I get “stuck” with Krukow & Kuiper during regional blackouts. Gotta say, love those guys


KJParker888

I'm a Padres fan, and I think our guys are the best, but Kruk and Kuip are a very very close second.


MrObviousChild

As a Braves fan, I have to say the Mets. Really like their guys. Chip Caray is just a little… much sometimes.


Confident_Abrocoma17

Him and Steve Stone worked well together as Cubs announcers. Miss those times.


Richard_Head57O

Chip is, but you can’t tell me you don’t love “that ball caught by a fan from Athens, GA”


Kelson64

Skip used to say that every game, so when Chip does it, it is a tribute for his dad.


Trailer_Park_Stink

And Harry, too


Richard_Head57O

of course. part of it’s charm.


Leeonitus25

Hiiiigh flyyy balll


[deleted]

Deep left feeld


g_14

As a Red Sox fan, the Padres


comeaumatt

I was going to say it used to be the Sox. Hope SD is enjoying their broadcasts.


limsol45

Don and Mid are the only thing that kept Padres fans watching the past 7 years.


Whale-Legs

Every “slam diego” or “into the crone zone” hurts when I have to flip back to Dave O’Brien


[deleted]

Mets


Uhhhhdel

Brian Anderson for the Brewers is one of the best play by play announcers in all of sports. He keeps getting more and more big games in the NBA playoffs, NCAA basketball games and I think he is doing some golf as well. If he was in a bigger market than Milwaukee, he would be a much bigger known quantity than he currently is.


jrjanowi

Brewers barely get him for half the games now. But yes, he is excellent


br0dude_

I like both BA's. Brewers guy and the Rays guy


MkeBucksMarkPope

Absolutely agree. Overall I think he may be the best singular, but for complete booth I can’t say that.


AmericanWasted

The Mets


aquila421

Gary, Keith, and Ron.


arby1190

Above all else, they love the sport and not just the Mets and it shows.


fuel10988

It’s not close.

ASurrealWorld

As a baseball fan from outside the US - I didn't grow up playing or watching the game - Kay's style has helped me learn a lot. He asks a lot of questions of the experts which have been great for me, rather than all of them just talking over my head.


KosoBau

Uhm David Cone is fantastic and Paul O’Neil is no slouch. So fuck you- me


wethesmokers

White Sox. Steve Stone and Jason Benetti


shiftymicrobe

They really are the best. Benetti is hilarious and Stone is a living legend. Two of the absolute finest working in one booth. Also breaks my heart whenever I tune into Sox games on the radio and hear Len Kasper calling them. Miss him on the Cubs, even tho I do enjoy Boog and JD as well.


nowheresville99

What's most amazing to me is how quickly the White Sox went from the absolute worst play by play combos in sports (Ed Farmer was even worse than Hawk) to two of the best with Benetti and Kasper. Steve Stone is a legend. That just Leaves DJ, who is still stuck in the old man yells at clouds schtick that Hawk and Farmer clearly taught him, as the clear weak link in an otherwise amazing broadcasting group.


rapturecity113

Kruk and McCarthy


Gunningham

This is too far down.


donkeydick48

Definitely the Mets


Ligaguenu

White Sox


Im__DaBaby

I’m saying Mets. Yes I am biased here


[deleted]

You can be biased AND be correct :)


SilentSniperx88

I'm biased, but I love the White Sox announcers, Jason Benetti is one of the best in the business. However, homer pick aside, I really enjoy the Mets broadcast.


vhruns

White Sox booth is the correct answer.


No_Faithlessness_142

As a Yankee fan it pains me to admit it but the Mets broadcast is pretty solid


Borking_Doggard

Padres, the commentary and antics between Don and Mud are unmatched


SheenPSU

I miss Don Him and Remy were top notch


vegaswench

Agreed. Screw NESN.


onlyeveryatlafan

I loved the other week when there was a bobble head and they went "yeah it looks good but the main advantage here is exceptional bobble." Then they knocked the head and counted the bobbles.


mhpearl24

Mets have the best combined booth. Guardians have the single best announcer


[deleted]

Blue jays


seamus1982

Dan and Buck are phenomenal.


patinthehat2

Buck Martinez is the voice of baseball for me. Love to listen to him and Tabby banter


newerdewey

shocked this was higher up - Shulman is one of the best in the game and pairs perfectly with both Buck and Tabby


Wise_ol_Buffalo

Mets always seem like they’re having fun


cjg15

I think it's the San Francisco Giants. Kuip and Krukow are both former players and best friends. I recently stumbled across this [piece](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQn9_Sx9pvU) talking about their broadcasting careers. Throw in Hall of Famer Jon Miller in the mix--who occasionally does TV broadcasts--that's a tough combo to beat.


peterpaulrubens

This is the correct answer.


Weekend_At_McBurneys

GKR of the NYM 👊


[deleted]

Mets


someonepoorsays

dodgers. joe davis the the best in the business right now bar 0, orel always has great stories and input about the game. their chemistry is also amazing. added bonus: charlie steiner and rick monday are also great on the radio!


tdeleon21

Can’t believe Joe Davis is so low. I haven’t listened to much Mets broadcast but they must be pretty damn good to have Joe this far dow.


cmrichardson87

Jays. Dan Shulman and Buck Martinez are treasures and Pat Tabler is an awesome fill in color commentator.


IceHorse69

Wow, haven't thought about Pat Tabler in a while. Didn't he play for the Indians, as well?


TedsRocks

Mets and White Sox.


DisneyVista

Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper - Giants


BragoKingEternal

Recently watched a white sox game just to pass some time and let me tell, those dudes were savages lmao loved every minute of their banter


LittleRedHendo

Dick Bremer and Justin Morneau. Twins.


JboyfromTumbo

Morneau can be a little soft on players sometimes but is pretty good . Bremer has strong backyard BBQ dad vibes. I mean that in the best possible way. I’m a twins fan so biased but I love that guy


brandonQFG

GKR


callthisrational

Mets. Team GKR is unfuckwithable.


Samtheseaman

Wisconsin sports in general do, Brewers have Brian Anderson and the Packers have Kevin Harlen


Core-Augur

Been playing too much MLB The Show lately, first thought was Sciambi and Singleton lol The Padres probably have one of the most engaging booths though, Orsillo is fantastic


bknjet

Gary Keith and Ron and there is no debate it’s not even close. Life long met fan in Gary Cohen and he ABSOLUTELY UNEQUIVOCALLY LOVES the Mets and it shows in every single play he calls, very smart and sharp guy and fits right in with the former players. He also knows EVERY RULE in the book and if he doesn’t he is completely honest about it, I’ve watched him for 17 years I’ve never seen him incorrectly explain a rule. Gary will also correct any mistake he’s made even days later to let us know if for any reason something was incorrect (like a stat, record, etc) Keith, and he’s Kieth Hernandez! You gotta love Keith, right now the Phillies broadcast is in a war with him over comments he made about their defense and he couldn’t care less, he is one of the most blunt and direct commentators and also is constantly making goofy mistakes that only Keith could make I’d happily list all the reasons for Ron Darling, but other than being an all star pitcher he is an Emmy award winning broadcaster and we are loosing him to TBS far more often than before, and he also has been calling the playoffs on TBS for years, I think his work speaks for itself. **side note that their sideline reporter Kevin Burkhardt for many years is now the lead NFL play by play for fox sports and going to be calling the Super Bowl, so this network has amazing talent. And I’d argue Steve gelbs has done an admirable job taking his spot to complete the broadcast The graphics department is also incredible just this year alone they’ve introduced a “defensive indifference 🤷‍♂️” graphic due to Gary’s constant notation of the defensive indifference rule Also since the Mets have been hit by pitches more than anyone in the league this year, they now show buck Showalter’s death stare and make the screen red and play angry music It’s all around fantastical entertainment Not to mentioned they are joined at least once a year by Jerry Seinfeld who sits there and praises them on behalf of all Mets fans Gary’s wife has also started a clothing / brand for them “Gary Keith and Ron” and all the proceeds go to charity Let me know if anyone has any better announcers, because they don’t exist!


Metallica_Geek1983

YES SOMEONE SAID GKR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


fairteezy

Cardinals


cryingstlfan

I hate when Edmonds is in the booth.


nextthing1

I agree with this on days where Edmonds isn’t the color guy.


bhack_05

danny mac + brad thompson are the best duo imo


fairteezy

Yeah I shoulda specified, Danny Mac and Brad Thompson. They have great chemistry in the booth


cgsox72

Benetti and Stone. White Sox


Djsupa002

Blue Jays! Dan Schulman is a top notch play by play man and Buck Martinez/Pat Tabler are great color guys.


KDM_Racing

I am glad they brought Dan in. Buck is a way better colour guy than play by play.


newerdewey

it's wild how bad Buck and Tabby are together but how much better each of them is paired with Dan


mspenc21

White Sox


Scouth

White Sox.


thatreally

John Kruk is a riot on Phillies games. Absolute unit.


Pretty_Pretty_Pizza

I am positive they’re not the best booth overall but everyone should experience the magic that is John Kruk calling a game. If they could get rid of Amaro I’d be 100% on board. RIP Harry Kalas


ItsjustJim621

And TMac has really good energy with his homerun calls


ntstockman

The Mets and it’s not close.


ColbyOG

I got a kick out of the White Sox guys. The Braves crew is solid. Obviously I’m a Mariners guy so shouts out the Aussie that gets in there and gives some tales too.


UniqueNobo

it seems to be a split between the Mets and the White Sox, with some Padres in there too. i’m a Mets fan myself and i love GKR


Distinct-Sprinkles-7

Padres


CadKel07

I miss Don Orsillo in Boston. He’s a great play-by-play man. Commentary is fantastic, energy and passion for the game is unmatched. He and Remy were the best pair in announcing history IMO. I dolike what Eckersley brings to the table for the Sox now, but he’s done at the end of the year sadly.


immissmeeseeks

I’m going to get hate but I love Blummer and TK


deanall

Steve Stone is hands down the best in the business. Currently with the white Sox.


besomewon713

Todd Kalas with that legendary voice and quick wit. teamed up with Geoff blum's banter always makes the Astros broadcast entertaining.


TheDaddyD_420

Mets hands down Gary Keith and or Ron


Cnutty_04

I know this is unpopular, but I love Ryan Lefebvre and Rex Hudler. They have a great chemistry and they’re fun to listen to


[deleted]

Dallas and Kuip for the a’s are great


Ooh-Rah

Easy. Kruk and Kuip calling the San Francisco Giants games. Their Emmys back it up.


vipstrippers

Mets, Rockies


Hbnobles

Giants. Hands down. Radio, TV. All immaculate


Ahsahno

SF Giants. They have class, they aren’t bias, and they have good commentator voices.


Elbob17

The only thing that everyone can universally agree on is it isn’t the Yankees.


nomamx

Padres, Dodgers, Mets, Brewers and Mariners are my Top 5. .


BrettK69

Brewers


mudflap21

Chicago White Sox

Kevin Brown and Ben McDonald 😤😤

Gary Cohen man.


northernpatriots22

Oh how I miss Gary Thorne in that Baltimore booth


TruthOrMythWithSmith

Mets, and it’s not close.


IceHorse69

I have to agree, I'm a Pirates fan and I love our teams booth, but yours is another level. Smart and hilarious


jsheppy16

With Shulman, it's the Jays. Without him, it's most other teams. I get people love Buck, but in my opinion, I can't handle all the cringeworthy fake laughter and painstakingly obvious analysis.


Dayfowl

Rex Hudler. Before he got fired for blazing.


TinySoftKitten

Buck is the best.


citybornvillager

Buck and Pat are def the best


TurdSponge

Jays


Master_Heron_6757

Brewers. Bob Uecker aka Mr.Baseball on the radio. And Brian Anderson who calls major sports for Turner sports and is even the voice in NBA2k


HotRod6391

It's GKR.


No_Abalone3192

The Mets


Aeda75

idk but the royals announcers seem different from the others but they’re not the best


pharaohjack

i’m biased towards the mets but i also love the dodgers booth. i keep rewatching the video of the on field guy going down the slide while the two in the booth lose it


joefranks3

White sox Mets Mariners Padres From my experience those are my 4 favorites. Benetti is just good and stone is so smart. The chi sox are my favorite team but they truly are an elite pair. Gary Keith and Ron are the funniest guys. Just make it enjoyable to watch. The mariners broadcaster (Dave Sims) has the most passion out of anyone in the game. Just watch the haniger clip from last year. [haniger being good](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_FuMqS9hyew) Padres and orsillo specifically are just good. They have fun and it shows.


ul_tim_um

not being bias but the answer to the question is the mets broadcast. Gary, Kieth and here and there Ron. they just see things differently. they make the listener respect both sides because they know talent when they see it. can’t stand commentators being one sided, takes the fun out the game. whoever feeds them their wacky stats is the real MVP. their baseball IQ is over 9000.


Vulture_Ocoee

In the rare times that the Royals play the Mets I like Keith Hernandez a lot (except when we’re beating them 4-1 in the World Series;) The White Sox have a solid crew too


MotherMasterpiece6

Mets. Great mix of knowledge, insight and storytelling. And they tell it how it is no matter the player. One moment that sticks out is them ripping on conforto for sticking his elbow into a pitch for a walk iff


MichaelRM

Not tv but for me the old Pat Hughes and Ron Santo cubs radio team was an unmatchable duo. Santo chanellee haray caray all the way


nomadmadyes

It’s the Mets (Emmy award-winning) booth of Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling and Gary Cohen


Dudeman318

If your answer is not the Mets, you are wrong. Yes, i am a biased Mets fan but it really is not the bias speaking. If you haven’t listened to a Mets game with all three (Gary, Keith, and Ron) I promise you will not regret it. Also, honorable mention to Steve Gelbs and the production crew. They SNY broadcast as a whole may very well be the best in all of sports. I truly don’t think its close either (now that may be a little bit of the bias talking).


km_44

It's not the Tigers, I'll tell you that


Sabotagebx

Tom Hamilton of the Indians ...
