If you are new to Sterling or Scully it’s where I take a look at play by play to see if the announcer is doing good honest PBP or just working in a catch phrase.
Tonight, let’s mix things up from my usual obsession with Gary Cohen. With the game on Fox, we had no Gare – but we did have Joe Davis!
I like this first call. Why? Because it’s not a “CALL” it’s a good description of the moment.

I also like this next one. He mixes it up and catches the moment.

Fine job on these. Zero schtick. No It Is High, No To The Wall….just good honest play by play.
This next one I don’t love, but it’s not schticky so it’s fine. I mean what’s he gonna do. I guess it’s fine.

Since Joe is the TV voice of the Dodgers there can be only one verdict…
Verdict: Scully
