Gotta be Barry Davis for me. Annoyed me how to tried to ambush JD coming out of the dugout after the walkoff win as he was saluting the crowd.

Thought it was pretty daring of him to sneak in that "You gonna pay for my dry cleaning for the suit now Jose?" during the locker room celebration after all that debacle between Bats and Sportsnet over that Travis Suit incident. At least Jose took it in stride and told him he might get him a new one. Edited by EMK19

This exactly I was gonna say yesterday the team is celebrating a bit and he says stupid s*** like this as well as talking to buerhle about this being his last home start, just let the f***ing man enjoy the moment you f***ing tool

Apparently the Jays players know this, considering what they do every time he comes up. Wonder what they'll do with the FOX guys when the ALDS starts(FOX has broadcast rights, and will be doing the games.. no more Buck and Pat.)

After Martin's huge HR against the Yankees on Wednesday Barry Davis started his next segment with something like, "On a day when great Yankees catcher Yogi Berra passes away, a former Yankee catcher hits a huge home run."

 

Like, f*** off. Yes, let's use a legend's (or anyone's) passing for a s***** segway during a sporting event. It was enough to make him top this list for me. I wasn't at the seat at the time when he was interviewing Geddy yesterday, but I know if I was there I'd probably have to debate asking him about it. I honestly thought it was super s*****.

 

Frankly I think most of the media crew lack a lot of on-the-spot charm that makes watching any sports reporter bearable.

 

I think Zaun is okay. I don't always agree with him, but he's watchable.

 

Campbell I don't like, but he's still somehow endearingly blundering. He's just there for me.

 

Hazel Mae is terrible.

 

Davidi seems to have his stuff together. I like reading his work.

 

Not sure on Nicholson-Smith. I haven't really read much of his work, though. I'm not exactly sure what he brings to the table, but I think I should give him a fair shot.

 

Wilner is sometimes fine to listen to. He's pretty reasonable sometimes, but other times he's just a spin doctor.

 

The rest I either don't read enough or don't care to.

 

Ken and Evanka are enjoyable as post-post-game people. But then again Evanka could mesmerize me reciting Mein Kampf, so.

Arash shouldn't even be close to a baseball field. How did that loser get a job at Sportsnet?

 

Barry Davis is a tool. The guy is a midget and seems like a huge wanker!

Two way tie between Arash and Barry.

 

This. They're both just incredibly bad at their job. Wilner is terrible as well, but I don't listen to the radio much, so I'm not subjected to him too often.

Shi Davidi knows his stuff and is pretty knowledgable. I'd say he's probably the best Sportsnet has. Mike Wilner isn't that bad, though sometimes can be a Blue Jays homer. Overall, he is pretty rational though. Again, he had to deal with idiots calling him every night after a Blue Jays loss, which I'm sure a lot of veteran posters on here would have vented against haha.

 

Zaun is watchable, though I don't take him seriously. Trying to be the Don Cherry of baseball. He provides some good insight on in-game stuff like certain plays etc, those his overall baseball analysis is lacking.

Agreed. Whenever he talks about numbers I kind of tune him out. I really like him when he talks about the mental side of being a big leaguer though.

I would like to see Tim and Sid added to this poll. I think they'd win by a landslide.

Tim and Sid are entertaining and bring about good discussion on whats going on in sports. I don't take their analysis on baseball or other sports seriously, though they do put on a good show and I will tune in at times.

I don't see it. They act immature, rarely know what they're talking about and try too hard to be cool. They have a great set though.

I completely agree, though thats the type of show they're expected to do. If I want something more serious, I'll tune into PTS or PTI.
