    I should stop once in a while to remember Tim McCarver. He was not a natural announcer, not easy to listen to, and his efforts to lighten the mood were painful. But I'm sure I learned more from listening to him than any other announcer.

        I always liked him. I really enjoyed him doing a few Cardinal series a year at the end of his career.

        McCarver was amazing when he was on local Mets broadcasts, far better than he was on national ones later on.

        He was fine on national broadcasts that weren't the All-Star Game or the postseason. I think the problems came when he felt he had to entertain a non-fan audience.

        On repeated pickoff lobs or throws he used to say 'Speed slows the game down' Good stuff!

        Really? I couldn’t stand McCarver and his insipid comments. And he brought down Joe Buck, who has flourished since McCarver’s departure.

        Tim McCarver was a baseball broadcast trailblazer.

        Joe Theismann and Rick Barry were like that. Couldn't stand either one of them, but I'd always learn something when they'd do a game.

        Steve Stone. I grew up with Joe Nuxhall, and I learned to love the game from him. But I've been listening to Stoney now for many years, and he's pretty great. I enjoyed McCarver.
