Ben McDonald on MASN is my favorite when he does the Oriole games, but he is not on full time. Ron Darling on SNY is also outstanding, and I find myself watching Mets games just for him. I flip around on MLB.tv and watch many games and I'm sure there are others that are very good as well ?

Mets booth is the best in baseball IMO, Gary is a great PBP man, and Ronnie is a great color guy. Keith is just funny and doesnt give a frick lol. They are also very entertaining when a game is out of hand and they are just bullshitting, lol

It would be hard for me, hate the Rangers (Astros since '75 when I first attended). But then again, the Dodgers were my most hated team of any sport and I would watch games just to listen to the GOAT (Scully).

That was the name that popped to mind when I read the thread title. He's a Mets homer 100%, and sometimes sounds about like he's halfway through a joint (or "marijuana cigarette" for you old-timers), but I really enjoy him.

Agree with the Mets, I like the blue jays with Buck Martinez (and Dan Shulman Play by play)

Ray knight and the nats are the worst

I'm not a Mets fan at all, but I'll watch their games because of Gary, Ron, and Keith. Very enjoyable.

That sounds more like Keith Hernandez that's on the call with him to me.

He’s not an analyst. Boog is a play by play announcer. They are different roles.

Steve stone is still the GOAT

McDonald is so much better on the oriole broadcast. He plays off Kevin brown well

McDonald and Darling are both great. I think Keith Hernandez is a good color guy as well. I think the Mets probably have the best booth in the game and I'm a Braves fan.

Geoff Blum is solid for the Astros. Him and Todd Kalas are a great listen

I agree - they are two of the best I've heard.

I think Steve Stone is still pretty good as well, but not as likable.

Vin Scully used to call the game and provide analysis by himself. Goat
