I Hate Announcers

Which is why I did this. Inspired by things the TBS team has actually said. More playoff announcer nonsense invited in the comments.

The chick with the mustache is hot.

Also, on a scale of 20-80 (with higher values suggesting more bad), how bad is Ron Darling?

Probably a solid 75. This is awesome, BTW.

Assuming the latter half of your comment is an evaluation on the video, agreed on both counts!

Yeah. That was the intent. I’m pretty sure.

I agree that Ron is awful on TBS. What’s weird and sad is that Ron is really good on SNY.

Maybe there’s something about national broadcasts that makes him less comfortable. Less familiarity with the teams, maybe? Hopefully he gets constructive feedback and gets better on TBS.

I mean, I don’t consider myself rationale about this at all but I friggin’ hate Darling on SNY.

I also hate Darling on SNY. The NL East is such a terrible announcer division.

Haven’t heard him on TBS this year. He’s solid on SNY. Nobody is more focused on the game within the game than Hernandez imo. Darling and Hernandez usually offer pretty good players insight on SNY.
