As opposed to TV. Not including watching live that's obviously the tops. Now a lot of this has to do with what broadcasters are doing the games but it's my opinion that taking in Baseball is more enjoyable on the Radio than watching on TV. Anyone else agree?

Love listening to Neil Price call Kentucky Baseball Games on the radio. I also love listening to Marty Brenaman call the Red games as well.

I can agree to an extent. I'd still prefer TV, but listening to baseball on the radio is better than any other sport on the radio. When tv isn't an option I don't mind listening to it on the radio at all.

I listen to The Cubs mostly on the radio. Pat Hughes is a great play by play guy. He lets the game breathe. Harder to have that with a TV broadcast having 3 guys in a booth jostling for air time.
I always know what is happening and I enjoy picturing the games events.

Agreed - one of the last vestiges of 1950s Americana - MLB at bat is worth ten times what I pay for it. favorite radio crews are Yankees and Blue Jays - least favorite are Astros and Brewers

Bob Uecker (Brewers) is Jim Hawthorne-calling-football level atrocious. Just awful.

Radio baseball has the best announcers cause they have to fill time with stories and interesting stats/player history.

Vin Scully wouldn't fit with anything but baseball. Almost got the MLB package one year just for dodgers games.

The Rangers are blessed with Eric Nadel who's also a baseball encyclopedia from New York.

It is the best of the big three on the radio but I still prefer tv. I am stuck listening to mets game on radio right now because the damn braves are blacked out in Mississippi on MLBtv


Mets are about to extend their lead to 8.5 games, magic number either 14 or 15
