I love it. I hate boring PBP guys like Kelch and Bad Boy Steve Stewart. I feel like for years the Reds tried to make their next PBP one of those types, and have figured out people want personality out of the PBP.

What revealed Sadak's mindset to me was when he was interviewing Krall during the first homestand. Krall started off by asking Sadak how he was, and Sadak replied, "Well, I'm sitting here in the TV booth, calling a major league game for Cincinnati Reds talking to their General Manager. I'd say I'm doing awesome!"

I mean, he's still calling half his games looking at a bunch of TV screens.
Not surprising that he's a little off on fly balls, esp on road games.

I know this isn't about the radio announcers, but yesterday was one of the few times I actually listened instead of watching on TV...just the bottom of the 9th on the drive home. Thrall's excitement and inflection on the final strike was perfect. You could practically feel his joy through the radio.

Literally his only positive is that he’s not as miserable as Thom. He’s pretty terrible across the board otherwise. Horrid cadence, can’t judge a fly ball, gets excited about the smallest thing, yells too much, talks too much. Overall he’s pretty terrible lol. If you ever wanted to hear Barney the dinosaur announce your favorite team, he’s your guy.
Thrall is excellent though.
