When Marty Brennaman left the Cincinnati Reds radio booth following the 2019 season, there were some big shoes to fill. Brennaman was a Hall of Fame broadcaster with numerous memorable calls over the years, and an sharp and honest opinion that many fans throughout Reds Country came to love.
But Tommy Thrall has done an excellent job filling in for Brennaman since his departure, and the Cincinnati faithful have embraced the new voice of Reds baseball. Awful Announcing's 2025 MLB local radio booth rankings, however, paint a different picture.
Thrall and the Reds radio broadcast rank 19th out of all 30 Major League teams.
