John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman: Is This Their Last Year?

I think sterling is fairly bad and misses a lot of calls but I will say he did much better job with Tino in the booth than normally with Susan. And tino added to the broadcast with his knowledge….

The Yankees pick them, and Suzyn clearly has incriminating photos of someone in the Steinbrenner family, as she’s been able to get job after job with the team despite a total lack of baseball knowledge or broadcasting ability.

Sterling’s funny at times, not usually when he means to be, but from a technical standpoint, he’s beyond awful. Sometimes when you get in the car it’s nice to – you know – find out what’s going on in the game, or what the score is, rather than be treated to John Sterling’s rendition of songs from the 1940’s.

It’d be nice if a sports station broadcasted the Yankees rather than CBS. During a rain delay, I’d rather someone come on and talk about the team instead of hearing a newsreel that’s 60% commercials that loops every 15 minutes.

For the so-called greatest franchise in sports, the radio broadcast is really an embarrassment.

Listening to Sterling and Kay on the radio, and getting my younger brother mad by calling them Michael Sterling and John Kay.
But we both agreed that Sterling made it impossible to mock his announcing. “Constantino Martinez” and “Bern baby, Bern!” are forever etched in my memory.

They need to go. Get someone who realizes the program is Yankee Baseball and not the John Sterling Variety Show. In short, John Sterling is even more annoying than Tim McCarver and he lacks McCarver’s credibility. Waldman is even worse.

Any act gets old when you hear it for the thousandth time, but the problem with Sterling is that what we hear is his actual act, not a call of a baseball game. When I die and go to hell, the Yankees games will be called by Sterling and Phil Rizzuto, and they will lose every one. Suzyn Waldman lost me with the Sportsgasm, and too much of her color commentary consists of responding to Sterling’s opinions with ’um-hmm."

I’m not advocating for them to be replaced by anyone specifically, and televsion and radio calls are two different animals completely, but the present team must go. Carthage must be destroyed.
