TV Baseball Play-by-play.

Watching the Yankee - Cardinals game today, Yankee TV play-by-play broadcaster Michael Kay and his colour man stuck to the game, no over-the-top unnecessary conversation.  The periodic gaps in their talk were welcomed.  The Jays; Sportsnet crew of Dan Shulman et al should take a lesson and forget the constant folksy back and forth and just stick to the game.

Re: TV Baseball Play-by-play.

I hear you...  but perhaps this is above Mr. Shulman and Mr. Martinez...  

The constant chatter / stream of consciousness might very well be what the producer wants or  feels is necessary for the telecast.  It might also be a directive from up above the producer....

just wondering...

In all of the independent surveys I see, the Jays tv play-by-play crew always rate higher than the YES crew.
