Yessir That Thom guy is a hoot and a half.

Agreed.  That would be my answer, and I figured a survey with them would be almost everyone's answer.

I've read a variety of complaints about the rest of the options in the poll, so I thought it would be interesting to see who everyone liked listening to.  Also curious if anyone longed for Steve to come back to the booth.  

The answers may change over time, especially if Thom mellows or Brantley improves his PBP.  

Yes, just as you hear them today.  With Marty + 2nd person, the 2nd person always does 4 innings of play-by-play.

I expect Brantley will get better as the year goes on.  I wasn't a big Steve Stewart fan at first, but he got better as time went on.  

I appreciate the offer, Bob. I have enjoyed eating at your breakfast restaurants when I get a chance to eat out on the road. I don't often get a chance to eat on the road, except maybe once a week; so it may be that you've changed a few things up there. I can't say. Sometimes a cahnge can help a team stay consistent and within themsleves. But a manager has to be concerned about consistency at all times.

Frank Robinson is a friend of mine and was a great competitor. That's one thing I will always say about him. He knew how and when to compete during a game. Our careers overlapped some, so I never got to see him play that much. I don't know when it was he got called up, I don;t have the numbers in front of me. I expect that he was called up at some point and competed immediately. But I also expect he struggled a little. Even the greatest players will go through periods when they struggle. I would not worry about it to much. He will continue to hit.
 

I couldn't agree more. Joe reminds me of playing ball when I was kid. He has such great presence even though he rarely gets a sentence out coherently. Without his knowledge of the game, his passion for the player's point of view and his fearlessness to get really emotionally involved (sometimes overiding Marty) Marty would have most likely not made the Hall. I love Nuxy and it could be that Brantley in time may develop that same kind of original persona.

 10 reaons I like Jeff Brantly:
 1. He's actually played the game, Marty
 2. He's Positive
 3. He's not in awe of Marty
 4. He has FUN
 5. He's positive
 6. He's a regular guy
 7. Although he's a'homer' he still tells it like he sees it.
 8. He compliments the other team's achievements
 9. He's Positive
10.His fun, positive,experienced commentary balances Marty's curmudgon(?)-like senility and overt player favoritism, not to mention Marty's greatly reduced passion and his negativity.

I guess - as long as they don't show his coif.

I think in this survey Marty dominates just like a Marty & Joe option would have dominated.  He's been behind the mike for 33 years.
