MLB Commentary

[knich1]

Did SDS say they improved main commentary? I am hearing exactly same lines as last year and I am just a few games in to franchise. They still don't announce names of many players who are in the base roster. I am surprised!

Is that Singleton working with the minor league guy? I thought the minor league announcer was going to work alone.

I miss the MLB Network crew. Especially Matt Vasgersian. He is the king of MLB The Show commentary. Absolutely the gold standard.

No doubt he's great in real life but his video game voicing, compared to Boog, is stiff and dry. Boog's style is perfect for video gaming. He has sense of urgency that you never felt with Vasgersian. But Matt was still more than competent and wouldn't bother me if he ever did return. The real problem for me, even now, the color commentary sidekick, none of them have been worthy of working in a video game booth with Vasgersian or Boog. Not Hudler, not Karros, not Lyons, not Plesac, not DeRo, not Singleton. Definitely not Heide. Maybe Soup, maybe. I really wasn't sure about Harold Reynolds. I would have liked to seen him stay longer than one-and-done.

The minor league guy is working alone. I like the concept but he needs a little more energy in his presentation at key moments, but maybe that's what it is like in minors?

There have been instances where I swore Gellman sounded like he was in conversation with another commentator. He must be talking to himself. Very surreal.

I haven't played full game with him...just from critical situations.

I've played a half dozen Play Now friendlies Syracuse versus the Rumble Ponies to get a better feel for the Met prospects. Spring Training does no justice to non-40 man roster guys.

And if Singleton isn't working with Gellman, then the sound editing dev did a terrible job. Gellman sounds like a schizo psychopath if he's having a pleasant conversation between he himself and him.
