Further proof as to why Kate Scott is now the worst announcer in the city. Sixers down 16, playing like crap, and she continues to yuk it up. All about the schtick, zero feel for the game. All I need now is a Bang bang George Niang and my TV gets the screen kicked in.
How does a market the size of Philadelphia have the two worst broadcasters in professional sports? Can someone please fire Kate Scott and Tubby Tom McCarthy?
@6abc
Still no curiosity as to why it's happening, huh? You've got to stop covering for your heroes, Krasner and Kenney. Once you do that, you'll start to regain a shred of any journalistic integrity you may have once had
What a great night ... driving back from the Poconos, listening to the game on the radio. The calming tones of Scott Franzke were amazing.

thing I noticed? Silence. Scott let's the game breathe. Unlike the buffoon on TV who talks non stop. It was so relaxing.
We need someone to have a Tubby intervention. Someone honestly needs to tell him that he sounds like an absolute tool with the "Brother Marsh" schtick.
This idiot has been waiting to roll out the "London is calling" line the entire game. I wish he prepared his game info as well as he prepared his moronic schtick every game.
I know Tubby's 50/50 tickets are really important, but, in the middle of a freaking pennant race, do you think we could spend more than 5% of the broadcast on the actual game? Jesus Christ, this is beyond brutal tonight.

Typical of the entire Phillies broadcast team...lazy, unprepared, and disinterested. This is such an embarrassment for a TV market the size of Philadelphia.
It's the phoniness of the broadcast that makes me nuts. Tubby with the over exaggerated voice inflection. "Krukker" with the fake hillbilly schtick. Just makes it so miserable to watch a game.
It's like having two squirrels with ADHD doing the broadcast. They can't stay focused on the game for more than a pitch or two before veering off to the juvenile schtick. Absolutely ridiculous.
@TMccarthyisms
Trust me Tubby, NO ONE is asking when the announcers are going to be sitting in the stands. I know your catch is the highlight of your life, the rest of us think it's one of the most cringe-worthy broadcasts of the entire year.

There is literally nothing worse than a Phillies blow out. "Krukker" and Tubby lose what little focus they had and will babble endlessly for the rest of the game.
@TMccarthyisms
God, give me strength. All I wanted to do was watch the Sixers and relax tonight. Unfortunately, Kate Scott tapped into her supply of ultra-annoying pills tonight. Game hasn't even started and she's already insufferably over the top. Growling, pre-tipoff, is intolerable.
I woke up in a good mood. Unfortunately, the first thing I hear is a replay of Tubby Tom calling Harper's 3rd HR. As usual, all schtick. "Krukker" annoyingly yelling "YEAH" as the pitch is hit. Tubby with his over the top (fake) announcer voice. Just brutal. Unlistenable.
The lack of self awareness from Tubby as he just rattled off the names of the beloved broadcasters in this city. He's so unaware of the growing number of folks who can't stand his ridiculous schtick.
There is absolutely nothing worse than a blowout Phillies game. Tubby and "Krukker" just babbling on non-stop. Add Mike Schmidt to the mix and it's the 7th level of hell. This is unbearable.
I see Kate Scott hasn't toned down her ridiculous schtick this season. She is giving Tubby a STRONG run for most annoying announcer in the city. Beyond brutal.
I can tell that Tubby's new fixation with "Schwar-bomb" is going to make me crazy. He'll absolutely run it into the ground. Him and "Krukker" are especially annoying tonight. Worst broadcast crew in baseball.
Switched over to the Sixers real quick for an update. Get to hear Kate Scott yukking it up as they're losing by 10 to the Wizards. Thought I was listening to Tubby's schtick for a minute there.
What did I just hear Franzke say? Tubby Tom is going to join them in the booth today? Good God, why? Why ruin the radio broadcast with Tubby and his inane banter and phony guffaws?
@TMccarthyisms
I would seriously consider cutting a limb off if it got us a professional broadcast crew. It's like having 12 year old fanboys calling the game. Amaro is absolutely beyond horrendous.
Jesus H. Christ. Kate Scott is going to ruin Harden's home debut. She's so phony with her over-the-top enthusiasm. Her over emoted voice is the stuff of my nightmares.
This broadcast is worse than normal. Something is definitely off with Tubby. His fake exuberance over EVERYTHING is just bizarre. I'd love to know what his deal is.
That's classic... Tubby talking about "the gravity of the situation" with the umpire. Meanwhile, this buffoon makes the game secondary to his schtick virtually every night. Comical.

I'm activating the Northern Bucks Heat Emergency Command Center. How ever are we going to survive this? Maybe Cecily will have some of her brilliant tips, like "drink water". 🤦♂️

Hey moron...he literally has no political takes...he merely reposts the words spoken by liberals, proving their utter hypocrisy and silliness on most issues. Hits pretty close to home for you, doesn't it?
2-1 game and these idiots in the booth are going out of their way to talk about anything but the game. It can't be like this with other teams. "Krukker" literally thinks he's more important than the game. I do not tune in to hear his endless fake hillbilly schtick.
One batter in, I'm already done. TV on mute. The "Krukker's" "Edmundo" schtick is grating on my nerves. This can't be how a major league broadcast is supposed to be.
There's nothing funnier than the simps and soy boys on local morning TV "news" stations trying to pander to Phillies fans. These dopes couldn't name 3 players on the roster, but now want to rah rah all morning. It's embarrassing.

I have to be honest. For as much as I hate Tubby, Kate Scott has far surpassed him as far as the most annoying announcer. She literally ruins every play of every game.
@PhillyMayor
The best part is that she thinks she's projecting strong leadership with this tweet. In reality, it's absolutely comical. Hey Cherelle, how about you keep everyone safe ALL the time?
Tubby celebrating that the Phillies tied the game... doesn't realize that it's an ultimately bad inning. 2nd and 3rd, no outs and bases loaded with one out and they get one run out of it. Brutal.
Thank you Nick for putting this on Twitter.
@TMccarthyisms
...so glad we didn't have to listen to Tubby try to disguise his disappointment as his beloved Mutts lost last night. Franzke is the best in the business.
"ground ball to third" as Harper, THE FIRST BASEMAN, fields the ball. Utter incompetence from our perpetually distracted announcer, Tubby Tom McCarthy.
