He really knows pitching.... IMO, he and Steve Stone are the best broadcasters when it comes to the pitching aspect of the game. I'm fairly knowledgable about the game (playing and/or watching my whole life), but they consistantly tell me things I didn't think of or notice. Stone in particular can immediately detect a mechanics problem in a pitcher.

The worst broadcaster I know is Rex Hudler for the Angels.... It's like he's jacked up on coffee and speed and thinks every Angels player is just a fantastic player... That and he and the other guy are constantly talking about stuff other than the game at hand. I don't mind the off-topic stuff if it's hilarious or informative in some way, but Hudler just tells you unenlightening stuff about his life that's in one ear and out the other.

I like Hudler and think he knows his stuff and brings it to the table. People are bothered by his energy, which I understand, but to say he doesn't know his stuff or gives the audience nothing is ridiculous.

The worst announcers by far are the White Sox. Most arrogant announcers/homers ever.

Hershiser knows his stuff. His skills are wasted in the booth, he should be a coach somewhere. I assume he doesn't want to do that, because he would likely have no trouble finding a coaching job.

He was the Rangers pitching coach for the past two seasons.
