Fans grade broadcast teams on an A-to-F scale. Out of the 495 votes the Giants broadcast received, more than 63% were an A, which helped their GPA end up at 3.35. But the Mets’ crew had 68% of 573 voters give them an A, boosting them to 3.37 to take the top spot from the Giants.
The two broadcast crews were somehow intertwined in an extremely weird New York controversy earlier this season. New York Yankees play-by-play broadcaster Michael Kay blasted the Mets’ TV station, SNY, for running an advertisement on Kay’s radio show that called the Mets’ team the “best booth in baseball.” Kay defended his own booth, saying that the Yankees had the best broadcasters in baseball, but told the Athletic that most people believe Krukow and Kuiper are the best.
“It’s not an exact science,” Kay told the Athletic. “Most people say it’s Kruk and Kuip. So who knows?”
