On the field, the White Sox have nowhere to go but up, and their TV booth faces the same challenge. Recently ranked the most disliked local MLB broadcast team by fans on Awful Announcing, John Schriffen and Steve Stone’s performance has been far from smooth. Schriffen’s missteps include mispronouncing names and making ill-timed comments, though he acknowledges his growing pains and expresses gratitude for Stone’s guidance.
Meanwhile, the Mets’ broadcasting team of Gary Cohen, Ron Darling, and Keith Hernandez has finally clinched the top spot after a decade in the top five, cementing their status as fan favorites. Conversely, former Sox announcer Jason Benetti has made a remarkable impact on the Tigers’ booth, elevating them from 30th to 10th place this year.
Cubs’ announcers Jon Sciambi and Jim Deshaies maintain their strong presence, though their ranking slipped slightly to ninth. As Cubs fans look forward to upcoming games called by Jason Benetti and A.J. Pierzynski, and the Bulls anticipate facing Bronny James and the Lakers, the landscape of sports broadcasting continues to evolve.
