MARCHAND’S MATCHUP OF THE WEEK – METS’ RADIO VS. YANKEES’ RADIO

This matchup isn’t close. Gary Cohen, Bob Murphy, Ted Robinson and Ed Coleman dominate John Sterling and Charley Steiner.

While the Mets’ crew give you everything you could want – Murphy’s a Hall of Famer, Cohen’s a future Hall of Famer, Ted Robinson’s solid and Ed Coleman delivers behind-the-scenes information – the styles of Sterling and Steiner styles are too much alike, which makes for a monotonous listen.

Michael Kay and Suzyn Waldman join Cohen and Coleman as broadcasters who act the most like reporters by doing their pre-game work with the managers and players. This shows up on the broadcast and, with Kay on TV, it is lacking from the Yankee radio team.
