Do you think that you'll enjoy it more or less without him, if you watch? Personally, I don't think I will miss the relentless barrage of "back, back, back, back" calls. What will replace it, though? Pretty hard to call ~100 HRs with creativity.

The home run derby was like the only time it was awesome to listen to Berman.

So yeah it's gonna suck.

Berman did what he loved with A passion that is unmatched... Like him or not....... The guy lived A DREAM.. He loved sports and got paid millions for doing it....

Mendoza on the lead call? Is ESPN in full kamikaze mode?

If they don't keep Eduardo on the latino broadcast it's going to be miserable

Probably Karl Ravech, but she is on the broadcast.

They are showing BP on MLBN right now and Judge was spraying balls into the upper deck with ease.

Only good thing about the HR derby was seeing the back of Berman's head

WTH
He was excellent at calling the HR derby. And his 2 minute drill of NFL highlights was the shite as well. He would go "wop!!!" on jukes and what not.

The announcing is horrible, as expected.

Berman was more talented than obviously given credit for.

I remember when Berman said "He hit that one to Omaha!!!"

George Brett deadpans: "Omaha's the other way."

Yeah I may consider watching this in Spanish rather than hear her squeal the whole time

There are some quite funny tweets concerning Mendoza if you search her name
