Reds Broadcasters

[CJTank74]

What does everyone think about the Reds broadcasters on Fox Sports Net? I thought I would like Brantley and Brenneman in the booth, but they just seem to be to critical of the players. In my opinion, broadcasters are there to announce the game...let the players play. I like Welch and Grande much better. Any thoughts on the subject?

Besides in one of RP's Duke threads, this may be the most disagreed with statement ever...

Thanks Debbie Downer.

 

Most welcome!

I prefer the radio, unless Jeff and Thom are calling the game on TV.

 

As has been said many times before, listening to George and Chrissy, I would rather watch a Norwegian instructional video on how to vaccum your carpet.

You have to be kidding! :eek:

[Hat Trick]

I can listen to all of them, in which ever way they are paired....until...Brantley does the play-by-play. He should really just stick to the color commentary.

Well, I'm not a big fan of them either. I just like to watch the baseball game and I think the other two are just to opinionated about the player. All they talk about is the mistakes the players make, like the other day when Valentin hit a three run single...seconds before the hit, they were bashing him for swing at a 2-0 count. Just let them play. Maybe I'll start watching with no sound...

I would rather try to touch my brain with a q tip than listen to Grand and Welsh. I love Brantley and Brenneman. Sure they're critical... but they're not making anything up. Its all true.

That was justified. He swung on a 2-0 count when the pitcher had just thrown 8 straight balls.

The bat shouldn't have gotten off his shoulder. The guy hadn't thrown a strike in like 10 pitches. If he popped that up he'd look like the biggest idiot alive. He just got lucky and came through.

Let me guess: Do you also avoid TV news and the newspapers because there "isn't enough good news in it?"

 

Welsh and Grande should be doing HS games, and that has become painfully obvious listening to first-rate pros like Brantley and Thom the past few weeks. The contrast couldn't be more stark.
