He makes far more mistakes than he should, and the false homerun calls are annoying. However, I don't find him as bland as many other broadcasters, I also find him quite humourous. A couple of gems for me during the series with the Angels; as they showed DeMarlo Hale making adjustments to the lineup sheet, Buck chimed in with "how do you spell this guy's name?". He also said that if he was an Angels reliever he would be hiding, and said "if the phone rings in the bullpen, don't answer it". That kind of humour is right up my alley, though I'm sure there are many who don't appreciate it the way I do. He also had a few funny quips whenever they showed Mike Scioscia. Buck amuses me despite his flaws, therefore I don't mind him as much as most people do. I realize his style is not for everyone.
