All this talk of commentary has me getting even more excited for my own. I'll be doing some baseball games at the local community college near me. I'll be a one man booth haha.
But anyway love me some Matty V on commentary and I can't wait to hear him this year. He is "The voice of The Show" in my mind.

Reed is comin' atcha!

Baseball would never classic again. Haven't you seen the news with Manfred doing all of these pace of play changes? I'd like to record that program though and see what they say about it. But in my mind, baseball will only future.

Speaking of which, anyone happen to catch the World Baseball Classic? When I was watching it, yes the first thing that came into my mind is: "Let me try and distinguish the separation of dialogue and conversation between Vasgersian in real life and The Show."

Can he sound perfect in a video game? Of course not. They have to account for every situation and stitch the emotions together with it, plus names and statistics. However, in my uber long post in this thread, I suggested that any games we can catch PBP with him, that SDS captures his individual pieces of dialogue, arrange them for appropriate moments, play them back for Matt, then ask him to re-record that line as necessary. I've never had trouble not mimicking myself before, no matter the emotion I needed to convey.

At least this takes away the script, but Matt doesn't always sound like he's reading off a script either. does help with the organic feel though, and perhaps finds many different ways he can describe a ground ball that's hit, etc.

(also, according to the Machado home run in Marlins Park last night, Matt refers to the LF concourse behind the stands is known as "big boy territory"... let's make sure that name is tagged in )

I'm saying that as a baseball fan, not just as a Mets fan. Fans of other teams would agree that Gary, Keith and Ron are probably the best 3 man booth in the MLB. I know it hurts you as a Phillies fan to say anything good about the Mets.

The single best announcer is/was Vin Scully, I could listen to him call anything.

You end up listening to a lot of crews when you have MLB.tv (including radio guys) and the Mets guys are some of the best. And while I live in the Philly market, I can't imagine anyone here being biased towards Tom McCarthy. Thank god they play the radio feed in the CBP bathrooms. lol

I would urge anyone with MLB tv to tune into an SNY feed. Gary Keith and Ron are insightful and hilarious, those broadcasts are NEVER boring, especially when Keith is on. Ron Darling is smart as a whip and gives great analysis, and Gary is an amazing announcer.

Don't know if this has already been brought up or not, but, my only gripe with commentary is for some of the players is the announcers don't even call them by their actual names. It's "number 15 comes up to bat", or "the right fielder makes the catch". That's boring.

The reason that happens is if they don't have that particular players name in their audio database, or if that particular player hasn't made their mlb debut yet and is a rookie.
