If you ever get a chance to listen to other team's radio broadcast, you will hear how outstanding Gil and Geno are at calling a game. Most other local radio pbp duos are homers, screaming at officials and whooping up big plays. Think of having two Tommy Heinson's calling Celtics games. That is what you get when you put on other teams' radio broadcasts.
Yeah, Gil and Geno mess up, but they are calling it live and often have to watch an awful lot more than just the ball. Plus, they have people talking into their ear, background noise in the stadium and the announce booth, and a spotter who, if he makes an error, will make Gil and Geno look to be the bad guys.
Besides, it is radio, most of the people listening can't see the game and would have no clue if they are right or wrong most of the time.
