    Anyone else a fan of the O'neill/Kaat broadcasting team

    I think these two work great together, they break the game down from a players point of view. They have great chemistry.

    O'Neill sounds like Michael Jackson sometimes but yeah he's great with Kay.

    I like their tandem better. Also with John Flaherty, Al Leiter and Paul O'Neil...

    Agreed, Paulie is awesome in the booth, funny, smart, informative, I love when he calls games.

    I'm probably in the minority but I don't like O'Neill as an announcer. I think the best is a tandem of Kaat & Singleton. i also thought David justice did a good job as an announcer. Really good insights and he broke the game down well.

    This is only the 2nd time I've gotten to hear Paulie in the booth and I think he is fantastic. He is not only funny but he knows what he is talking about. He has played with a lot of the current players and his playing days are still fresh in our memory. I think he is great with his analysis and breaking down of hitters and fielders. Also, he has a great sense of humor that makes Kittie seem pretty funny as well.

    I like them a lot. Kaat is a great announcer, and the only real objective announcer on YES. O'Neil is a good commentator and it's nice having a player who we watched play just a few years ago give his thoughts. It's also hillarious how he jokingly makes fun of Kay all the time.

    I dont really have a problem with any of the boradcasters YES uses, I just wish they would pick a combonation and stick with it though.

    The only thing I dont like about Kaat is that he seems to have something against pitchers with good stuff, and undervalues K's imo. Minor stuff though

    I love listening to Paul O'Neill give Kay a hard time. It's pretty entertaining.

    I heard a significant improvement in Paul's work this week. Didn't he seem to have raised the passion a bit?

    How many broadcast teams are there? One thing I like about NESN is they have the same two guys every night. They have a good rapport and relationship and know eachother's way to call a game. Makes for a pretty good experience.

    I wish Kaat/O'Neill would work every game, but neither wants a heavy schedule. They are the two best on YES, in my opinion. I used to like Singleton a lot, but over the past year or so I find that I don't enjoy him as much as I used to.

    I agree - not only the passion level but he seems much more prepared to discuss all the players - not just the ones he played with..
