SATURDAY Dave Flemming>>>>>Joe Davis

So nice to hear a real announcer calling the World Series fairly. Fuck Joe Davis, what an insufferable homer.

Server 2 on Streameast had the Canadian broadcast

He was with Ryan Spillborgs on SN for me. Canadian feed I believe

It's produced by MLB, and aired in every country carrying the Series other than the US.

It used to be “Fuck Joe Buck”…we’ve come so far hahaha

At least Joe Buck had the all-timer call on Ishikawa’s walk-off shot.

Joe Davis sounds like what you'd get if you asked AI to call a game. Just nothing to grab onto. Smoltz is just unlistenable. It's criminal Dave and Jon aren't calling the game. We literally have a Hall of Famer and the next coming of Al Michaels. At least the Brewers radio team is fire. And listening to the game on the MLB App allows you to skip seeing Jesse Waters and his punchable face and the rest of the propaganda on the FSOne App

I miss Ueck.

Smoltz clearly didn't prepare for anything at all, and he's just riffing.

There are some announcers that just cannot maintain neutrality when calling National Television games. Joe Davis is unfortunately one of them. Those Braves and Brewers NLDS series were brutal to listen to

I honestly don’t mind him when it’s a game without the Dodgers. But when he’s calling a game with them he’s completely insufferable

Flem is in another league entirely compared to Joe Davis. Just leaps and bounds better, they shouldn’t be in the same discussion.

u/CoffeeBoy80 3d ago

Which team is Joe Davis a homer for in this World Series?

u/midnightjim 3d ago

Yeah, and if I never heard another word salad from Smoltz I'd be quite happy.

It was a pleasure and a relief to find their broadcast and not have to listen to the Fox morons

u/MD1NA 3d ago

Say no to Joe

I fucking love Dave so much

I miss getting the international feed. Univision is bearable if you're stuck watching it on TV in the US. They use the same camera feeds as Flem's broadcast too.

If you don't wanna listen to Joe D-AI-vis but can't access the sportsnet feed you can watch the Spanish feed on Univision (over the air just like Fox)

Going further the TUDN radio broadcast has forever Giant Luis Quiñones as the play by play broadcaster
