Joe Lucia at Awful Announcing:

The dust has settled, the votes have been counted, and Awful Announcing’s readers have voted on their favorite (and least favorite) local MLB broadcast teams for the 2024 season.

Any ranking of “best baseball announcers” will necessarily be partisan, driven as much by fan interest as by any objective quality.

No surprise, then, that I disagree with the results. San Francisco should have taken this, as they did in four of the six previous contests—including last year's. Duane Kuiper, Mike Krukow, Dave Flemming, and Jon Miller are—individually and collectively—the best broadcasters in the game. The new guys—Shawn Estes, Javier Lopez, Hunter Pence—are solid up-and-comers. I enjoy them enough that I’ll turn on the radio and mute the TV if the game is nationally televised.

Of course, the last time I regularly listened to Mets baseball was the late ’90s, when their announcers were Bob Cohen, Gary Thorne, Ralph Kiner, and Tim McCarver. I have no idea if their current team of Gary Cohen, Ron Darling, and Keith Hernandez is actually good.

Like I said, partisan.

More important than any of that, though: the Giants and Mets beat out both the Dodgers (5) and the Yankees (22).

I do feel awful for Oakland (29), though. And someone had to be last, White Sox fans.
