New York Baseball breaks down the two New York baseball networks in a must-read for any Mets or Yankees fan. They basically conclude (accurately) that YES does a better job with non-game coverage but SNY destroys on the field. They give a lot of props to Gary, Ron and Keith and their “brutal honesty” which is something I completely agree with. Having watched many other teams’ broadcasts, I can say that, with the exception of Vin Scully, there are no finer, more objective announcers than the Mets’ crew. The piece also gives lots of props to Kevin Burkhardt, a guy who calls a great game and a guy who is stuck as sideline reporter for now, until another network steals him away.
