I am curious to hear what Brewers fans think of announcer Joe Block at this point in the season. I realize that I am opening a Pandora's box here, but I am hoping that people keep their comments intelligent and respectful even if they don't care for Block's style.

I have tried giving Mr. Block a chance, realizing that any broadcast team needs time to gel and any broadcaster needs some time to find a rhythm. That being said, I'm still not very confident that Mr. Block will get to the point where he energizes me as a baseball listener. His voice is definitely clear and pleasant-sounding (he reminds me a little of John Miller), but his overall tone range is too limiting to do justice to the emotional moments of a game. I find myself hoping that Uecker was on the mic when something great happens because Mr. Block's enthusiasm just doesn't come across with the same energy as Jim Powell or Cory Provus did.

I'm sure Mr. Block is a wonderful man. I'm just not finding myself a fan of his announcing style.

So, Brewers fans, without skewering the man, what do you think of Block's style so far?

His voice just bores me, he seems to have lack of enthusiasm. I didn't think I would say this, but when I tune in to Twins games I miss hearing Cory Provus.

He'd be better suited for golf.

I am not a fan at all. After Hughes left, I instantly liked Powell. When Powell left, I instantly liked Provus. Block reminds me of listening to a minor league announcer.

I'd take Laraviee. Block is just awful. I'd rather listen to Marlee Matlin call games.
