I love listening to baseball on the AM dial. I grew up on Ray Fosse and Bill King on AM 560 in the Central Valley, spoiled by their incredible nuance and style, I was disappointed first by the Orioles Broadcast team, and initially by Dave Shea and Charlie Slowes. However, these two have grown on me, more than I ever expected. Tonight I listened as they called the second and third innings on my way home from rehearsal, and I was pleased to hear them on Z104, calling Tony Armas’ return to the diamond. They’re getting better, learning each other’s strengths and weaknesses, playing to the former and avoiding the latter. It’s nice to hear a new team mature, just like our Nationals (currently up 2-0 on the Diamondbacks.)
