And he is actually pretty good at it. Just goes to show how good we have it, or that Tablet is the weak link on that TV team.

Buck is an excellent analyst, it is the play by play that he struggles at.

I heard his voice, and immediately assumed the Jays made it on a technicality. Sadly, Tabby never came... :(

I was really surprised at the quality of his work. I very much enjoyed the broadcast.

Dan and Buck represent the Golden Age of Blue Jays broadcasts. Buck is a great colour guy. Whoever made the decision to switch him to play by play made a terrible call.

Tabler is the one that's especially hard to listen to.

“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."

Buck Martinez is a good Baseballer.

Buck Martinez is spelled with a B and M. The letter "B" and the letter "M". There are 25 letters in the English alphabet. I like pepsi.

Blue Jays should sign Fowler and let Jose Walk. Jose likes to hit home runs. Fowler likes to run. I like turtles.

I don't like Trump.


Mods. Please don't delete this post. If u do, that means u like Trump. I like Hillary. Ivanka is hot. Anthopoulos gutted our farm system.

Last few years I assumed Buck was the worst commentator based on some posters here.

Buck is like Devlin, when they aren't asked to be homers - They're very good.

I hate Devlin on our broadcasts. He's great on TNT when he's neutral.

Buck would be amazing as the colour man again. Drop a dump truck in front of Dan Shulman and steal him away from ESPN for good. Those two could talk us through a rebuild if we end up down that road.

He's a hell of a lot better than the other Buck on the American Fox broadcast

I would actually tune in and watch 162 broadcasts/year if Shulman and Martinez were the commentators.

And I don't even love baseball all that much...

Buck demanded the job as pbp. I assume due to ego/stature/ambition.

And you're right, Tabby is everyone's vapid drunk uncle.
