John Sadak

[wlf WV]

OP thread about announcers got out of hand and closed. I wanted to say Sadak has adapted well and is very pleasurable as an announcer, especially with Welsh.

[DocRed]

I actually like him overall and enjoy his enthusiasm. I just think that his accuracy on calls could be a tad better.

[REDREAD]

He's gotten better. I wish he would stop calling everything "Front door" and "Back door" though. Welsh will occasionally use those terms but he does it sparingly and not with such loud enthusiasm.. I prefer "inside" and "outside" like most announcers do.
But that's a minor annoyance.
He has stopped getting excited over every foul ball and doesn't exaggerate things as much as he did in the first few weeks.

[TexasRedsFan]

Overall, he's good. Just wish he'd dial it back at times. Sometimes I have to turn the sound off for a while and take a break because he can occasionally be exhausting.

[Roy Tucker]

Needs to work on his judgement of fly balls but otherwise, he’s been fine. He works well with all of the trifecta of Larkin/Cowboy/Welch.

All in all, a breath of fresh air from the previous announcers.

Played a lot of video games with my son when he was young and Sadak's enthusiasm reminds me of one of those announcers. For the life of me I can't remember which baseball game it was but we would say a lot of "can of corn" and "swing and a miss" and Sadak's inflection on the latter is pretty dead on. He used it an awful lot last night.

Overall he's like a breath of fresh air. I don't get an impending feeling of doom when he's calling the game.

Like others have said, he's light years better than Thom, and that's all I wanted.

[RedsFanInMS]

He's not bad at all. He does get a little over the top at time, but so do most announcers.

[BCubb2003]

I think we’d all be majorly pumped if this was our first big league broadcasting gig. I wonder during the ugly games if he ever asks himself what he got himself into.

[0-2 Count]

I enjoy him quite bit. He has a good balance between being a homer while still acknowledging the obvious when things don't go well.

[pedro]

He still likes baseball which is an improvement over some of our past announcers.

Back off the excitement level a notch and pronounce names as if you were born in Ohio.

[Redeyecat]

Everybody sounds better when we are winning.

He wasn't born in Ohio.

[Red Buckeye]

Compared to silver spoon Thom he is awesome. I hope he remains the pbp guy for many years.

I still would love Marty to call a game every now and then but I'm sure since his homophobic son was fired that will never happen.
