What can you say about a crew that votes the 3 stars of every game but will only vote for Giants players, even if they get a no hitter thrown at them? Homer announcers. The biggest ever. If you want the best homers, they are it. If you want announcers who will make you love baseball and players from both teams, not just Giants baseball, look elsewhere. They don't have to hide their cheering for the home team but they go out of their way to either belittle or ignore players from the other team that deserve their accolades during the game.
Kuiper and Krukow are the worst homers and corrupt the greatness of Miller's announcing. The unevenness of their reporting comes out even more during KNBR's morning sports talk, when they make excuses for bad play or bad management/ownership moves. They are Giants PR employees before they are objective announcers.
Teams that operate this way are "partly" responsible for people not loving baseball as they used to. So when their team doesn't do well, their fans have no interest in the rest of baseball. Homerism is bad for baseball and if you are one of the leaders in homer announcing, you cannot be the best overall. But they can still win this pole as long as everyone in this city only votes for their own, just like they were taught by their announcers. I for one cannot.
Wish we had an option for +/- grades. Jeremy Affeldt and Javier Lopez are good additions to the team when Kruk can't travel, but they need a little more polish, especially Affeldt. I think they'll get there (Kruk & Kuip weren't A performers when they first started either) but they do lower the overall A to more of an A-/B+ grade.
The Giants crew is sublime. Now that Vin Scully has retired, I think Jon Miller has become the reigning dean of radio PxP voices.
