Just for you, Motor City! From Wednesday:
Tigers broadcast team ranks dead last in local MLB broadcaster ratings
Haven't read the article yet, but if GKR aren't #1, I'm sending an angry letter.
(I'd accept Kruk and Kuip, but I'd still disagree. Especially as those guys rotate out of the booth.)
ETA: Grr. Apparently GKR easily won the "A" votes category, but a small coterie of haters (is that you,
Bru?) kept us from the top.
I didn't watch a lot of Pads games, but I did notice that Enberg had them going nicely before he passed. Mark Grant is an underrated talent, IMO.
Anyways, my sympathies, Tiger Den.

The problem is mainly with Matt Shepherd and the widespread impression that he’s just not a baseball guy, nor a very compelling broadcaster in general. His forced use of catch phrases, particularly his own pet ones that don’t fit into a baseball context, and general lack of easy familiarity with the game are the chief gripes.
However, different color analysts have their supporters and detractors too, without any one of the group really seizing the role and becoming a long-term fixture.
