Ok, I was wrong, I thought Dan Gladden was the worst announcer in baseball, but go listen to Palkas first homerun for Rocjester....I will give you some idea...Palka at Plate, kills the ball..announcer, says, this game is going to be tied.. then says ADAM BRETT WALKER (a black right handed hitter) Palka is a white left handed hitter, has tied the game up....I think ok Walker hit a home run earler, then I look at the score and it HAS to be Palka....wow monotone, boring and worse, wrong player, wrong color, wrong side of the plate....worst call in baseball history?

 

It has to be a candidate...When you listen to Gladden, you have no idea whats happening..ball hit...this going to be off the wall (no excitement in his voice) anyway, Danny, there is one worse than you...believe it or not!

Not a fan of Gladden, that's for sure. Doesn't even tell you what kind of pitch it was.

Gladden's game calling leaves something to be desired. But I like him as the color guy. I enjoy his perspective and stories as a former ML player and former Twin.

Excellent color man. He and Provus have a great rapport IMO.

Also not a Gladden play by play guy, but do like Provus.

 

Oftentimes, with the radio on, you're doing something else at the same time, so a little voice inflection lets you know something just happened.  With Gladden, there can be 5 runs scored, and you don't even know it.  

I wasn't a John Gordon fan for the opposite reason.  He'd jump out of his chair for a warning track fly ball.  But at least you paid closer attention.
