Least Favourite Blue Jays Media Person

[Boxcar]

I find Tim and Sid entertaining. Barry Davis is the worst by a mile which is pretty remarkable when he isn't even paid to give his opinion.

[Trouba95]

Wilner is actually a decent radio play-by-play guy. I hope he gets a shot.

 

Agreed. I like him at the mic for pbp more than Jays talk.

[Lil Looper]

I need to meet the guy who hired barry and arash.

 

Two of the least charismatic losers ive ever seen

[reedjohnsonfan]

This is a hard one. Barry Davis is annoying but he's not an analyst so can't really vote for him. I really think Stoeten is full of himself, Wilner too. The other guys aren't really terrible or anything, and Shi Davidi shouldn't even be on this list.

[reedjohnsonfan]

I don't know who is the worst, really hard to pick when a lot are terrible, but Dividi and BNS are probably the two best.

 

Agree I voted for Stoeten. Zaun is entertaining to me, so he does his job well. Why isn't Blair on this list? I have no problem with most of the stuff he says but he is incredibly dull.

Tim and sid should of stayed on radio, I find the tv broadcast very ADD in nature and way too many pointless social media quotes

[Boxcar]

Where's Barker is the real question.

[Stangstag]

Where's Barker is the real question.

 

EXACTLY what I was about to comment. That guy is truly annoying to listen to.

 

Barry and Arash are probably worse though

[Muck Bartinez]

Where's Barker is the real question.

 

Could not agree more. Davis makes me cringe every time I hear him, but Barker is unwatchable.

 

On a side note, I really like Brady and Walker.

[Jonzo]

It's funny reading people bash Wilner. I personally do not like him, however, he clearly has knowledge of the game and does his research. Yes, everything he says is tainted Blue but he still clearly knows more about baseball than 99% of the people on this forum, including me.

[Krylian]

Wilner. And it's not close.

 

Barry Davis is annoying but he's harmless.

 

Mike Wilner is cocky, arrogant, snarky, and a cock maggot.

No. He has people feeding him stats during the show so he can avoid looking like an idiot. I know this for a fact.

Eh, some of the stories I've heard about Davis (like that one in Seattle) say otherwise.

[43211234]

Wilner is actually a decent radio play-by-play guy. I hope he gets a shot.

 

He's not terrible at play-by-play I guess but I can't stand his insistence on saying "nothin' nothin'" hundreds of times.

 

I find him arrogant in the post game show but I hardly ever listen anymore. Only if I'm driving.

 

 

This thread really reminds you how bad Canada's Deepest Roster is on the whole.

[L54]

I voted for Wilner because he's a giant douche. So is Stoeten, but Wilner is on a bigger stage so I chose him.

[43211234]

On mobile so I can't see the poll but I think OP also forgot Jeff Blair? He has pretty bad opinions and always draws the oddest conclusions from things.

 

 

I like Campbell in his current role, Zaun should be ignored when he opens his mouth about personnel decisions but is solid on in-game analysis. Ken and Evanka are likeable. Davidi and Nicholson-Smith are decent reporters. I like Howarth and Siddall on the radio.

[pickoff22]

Jeff Blair needs to be on this list. Easily the worst in my book. Sure, he has ridiculous baseball opinions at times that expose him as uninformed, but he is the absolute worst colour analyst there is. So friggin boring. The other day he was on air with Jamie Campbell pregame and checked his blackberry while he was talking. No idea how he got the job he has.

[Spanky99]

Griffin Hands down as a beat writer... as for Media, Barker by a country mile.

[Trouba95]

I love Wilner on the PBP as I already mentioned. He didn't miss a beat when Jerry was what we thought suspended, even though they claimed he was "sick"

[L54]

They blocked you on twitter eh?

 

No, only JPA.

[baubau]

Eh, some of the stories I've heard about Davis (like that one in Seattle) say otherwise.

 

What did he do in Seattle? The only thing that came up in google was him mockingly thanking JA Happ for canceling his dinner plans for taking so long to pitch on twitter. I mean, sure dumb comment, but doesn't seem like much.

[reedjohnsonfan]

Where's Barker is the real question.

 

lol. He's pretty bad sometimes but is tolerable and a nice guy unlike the other jackasses they employ... IMO.

[Billy Bats]

lol no he doesn't, he has producers whispering stats and argument winners in his ear the whole show.

I doubt it. And even if that were true, he's still an arrogant sob.

[Orgfiller]

People are seriously underestimating just how bad Richard Griffin is.

[art_vandelay275]

I considered Griff but I had to go with Davis - There would be interviews that I want to hear but because he was doing it, I had to turn it off; case in point was the JD interview after the game today. there are numerous others

 

i used to like Griff - an old baseball guy, has good stories of the Expos days, etc. It seemed ever since he was inducted into some HoF, his writing has just sucked. He just takes some historical stuff and extrapolates to the future. I distinctly remembered some article he wrote last summer where he said the Jays will make the playoffs just purely based on some historical win/loss %. Completely non-value add. I've mostly stopped reading his articles though I sometimes participate in his chats which is a little bit hard with the time zone here in the west coast... though an interesting guy to have a beer with

Can't remember which thread it was, but someone said he was trying to get somewhere in Safeco and an usher stopped him and he started aggressively trying to "flash his creds" to get by her and was like "Do you know you I am?!" or some stupid nonsense.

[Cyborg]

They're all atrocious.

[Mozzer]

Even though he doesn't work the beat, listening to Bruce Arthur talk about anything induces a vomit like reaction. His pretentious no it all, anti-Toronto, attitude is just so off-putting. Rosie Dimanno comes a close second, but you can't fault her for having having bigger balls than most of her peers.

[labadee]

Arash Madani with Wilner a close second.
