Early in his career, he was rather pedestrian with showing genuine emotion. But ever since 2012, he’s stepped up big time and not letting any insecurities get into his head and now he’s one of the best out there
I don't think he needs to. He's a "presenting" type of commentating rather than the "reactionary" type Like his commentary in ESPN's NFL games are quite off, because sometimes he's being emotional for no reason He just needs to adjust his commentary accordingly to the moments and not being too real to himself, IMO
@@redpillfreedom6692 SI has an old article on it: “A few weeks before the start of the 2011 baseball season, Buck underwent his eighth hair replacement procedure. But something went wrong during the six-hour-plus procedure. When he woke up from the anesthetic, Buck could not speak. He believes his vocal cord was paralyzed because of a cuff the surgery center used to protect him during the procedure. A doctor not part of the operation theorized to Buck that the cuff probably got jostled during the procedure and sat on the nerve responsible for firing his left vocal cord.”
@@robustbottlecapI can definitely see that. I do think he’s been “over-commentating” a little bit as of recently. His best calls IMO are the huge games he calls where he lets the moment speak for itself with some awesome well timed commentary. That Marshawn Lynch touchdown in the 2014 NFCCG is probably the best example of that.
6:19 "GOT IT!!" There's something I thought I'd never see Joe Buck announce in sports history. Normally I know Joe for doing baseball and football, but not golf. But man, I love how he said "GOT IT!!" when Gary Woodland sank that putt!
Glad to see Buck's call of the Cubs winning the World Series got the #2 spot, for all the grief he got over the years he couldn't have captured that moment any more perfectly.
That’s because Joe Buck knows more than team announcers (but he just didn’t know GB fans frequently moon away teams buses at Lambeau) But he’s still the BEST - booster seat and all
Joe Buck gets far too much criticism imo, me included from previous years. From 2010 onwards I think he's one of the very best to do it. The fact I could recite at least 30 of these shows you just how good he is.
I really think his early career was held back by having Pat Summerall as the obvious go-to model within Fox, and with learning football on the job that meant an awful lot. Very few announcers can make that level of minimalism work, and Buck wasn't one of them. He's stopped being imitation Pat for 15-ish years now and he's all the better for it, and somehow I think an amazing number of people still think he never changed even as the change happened in front of the biggest audiences in television.
@@FungiRy91massively disagree mate. He’s worked on his craft and I think ever since his move to ESPN in particular he’s been reborn. An unbelievable announcer.
It took a long time for Joe Buck to blossom. But when he did, he gave us some amazing calls like the end of the 108 year drought and Minneapolis Miracle. It only got better when he moved to ESPN, where i think he's at his best currently. Also the man can beat someone in a roast battle. 😂
Loved his response to Peyton Manning, who asked him, "During blowout games, do you ever wish you could have someone in the booth to interview?" Joe Buck: "I had that thought when your Broncos were playing the Seahawks in the Super Bowl."😂
I've been one of the guys who criticized Buck early on, and I still think his sparse kind of style lends itself better to baseball than football. But there's no denying that he's stepped up his game with calls like the Minneapolis Miracle.
That cubs team in 2016 are the best ever to come back in games. They did it all season! Winning the World Series is one of the greatest moments in sports history.
Not even close Red Sox’s were down 3-0 to the Yankees ended up winning the Alcs in 7 games to go and beat the Cardinals in the 2004 World Series. Cleveland Cavaliers were down 3-1 in the NBA finals to the 73-9 Warriors and came back and won in 7 games in 2016 The LA Kings were down 3-0 in the playoffs in the NHL and won their series it occured in the 2010s What the cubs did was significant by winning the series down 3-1 but in terms of magnitude it’s not the best
The reason why I don’t include the 2016 Golden state Warriors despite being down 3-1 to Oklahoma City is because they lost to Cleveland in the NbA finals. Every team that I listed won their leagues championship that season.
It seemed like overcoming that vocal chord ailment he had in 2011 gave him a new perspective with having his voice fully back. 2012-onwards Joe Buck is definitely one of the top voices out there, with so many big-moment calls. Big Papi grand slam, Ishikawa wins the pennant, the Cubs 2016 run in general, the Minneapolis Miracle, 28-3, the list goes on and on.
Now you just have to add, "Nearside, I don't see any flags, Gipson inside the 30, its the Jets, AND HES GONNA GO!!! JETS WIN IT! TOUCHDOWN! ROOKIE XAVIER GIPSON GAME OVER!"
How could, "we will see you tomorrow night." Not get the top spot? By far his best call and a great omage to his late father and he's a cardinals fan as he was their play by play guy for a number of years... epic.
Man basketball and football may be more entertaining moment to moment, but there is nothing as epic as a game-defining, playoff baseball moment. Travis Ishikawa. Rajai Davis. Freese. Montero. Unsung heroes man.
Actually happening! There's going to be a four-network rotation in the future under the latest TV deal; Super Bowl LXI in 2027 is the first ABC appearance in that rotation.
Honorable mention from the NLCS Dodgers vs Brewers when pitcher Brandon Woodruff hits a HIR off of Clayton Kershaw. "High drive into deep center; back at the wall; ARE YOU KIDDING ME!"
I was happy to see Ortiz's grand slam in the 2013 ALCS make the top 5 - Buck's call and tone of voice really set the scene to match how hard Fenway Park was rocking - but I would have put the Cubs winning the World Series as Number 1.
Every call by this man is the greatest of all time. He's the Morgan freeman of sports broadcasting. Idk why everyone hates on Joe Buck. His voice is amazing
I don't care what anyone says, I like Joe Buck. Every game felt like a big deal with him on the call. and his voice sounded more epic when they were playoff games, which most of these calls were from.
His Dad like Vin Scully were two of the greats. Jack was the voice of many of my summers growing up! Hate on Joe as much as you want.....Joe is good....very good!
No way the Diamondbacks WS winner call is lower than the Yankees winning in 1996, let alone most others. When you defeat a 3-time defending World Series winner with a walk-off, plus coming out of 9/11, automatic top-5!

I never knew he did golf... It suits his style well
Glad to see Buck's call of the Cubs winning the World Series got the #2 spot, for all the grief he got over the years he couldn't have captured that moment any more perfectly.
I miss him doing baseball ever since he went to ESPN. They should’ve offered him the Sunday Night Baseball gig along with Monday Night football.
I think he wanted to not call baseball anymore... He had two kids with his new wife, they are like 5 or 6 iirc, I guess he wants more time with them

Buck sucks
I can say that the criticism was justified, for the most part, until 2011. After he had the surgery in the vocal cords he improved a lot
That cubs team in 2016 are the best ever to come back in games. They did it all season! Winning the World Series is one of the greatest moments in sports history.
Maybe for you Cubs fans, lol.
Not even close

even as a cardinals fan i do agree
I love the way he says “high drive into right” with confidence
MANNING LOBS IT, BURRESS ALONE.....TOUCHDOWN NEW YORK!!!
My favorite call before my Pops passed away he was so happy

For my 23 years of watching MLB on FOX hearing Joe Buck brings back memories especially the ejections and benches clear.
World Series as well.
Mark McGwire's 62 is waaaaay too low. That was a masterclass by Buck
The Michael Cole of the NFL legend
As a Seahawks fan hearing “Seattle’s going to the Super Bowl” forever lives in my head.
11:03 "ALTUVE!!! HAS JUST SENT THE ASTROS TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!"
Thanks for the trigger warning

Putting that right after the Rajai Davis home run, so we get back-to-back Aroldis Chapman blank stares was beautiful.
Diggs, Sideline, Touchdown 😎SKOL
I love how he lets the crowd takeover. Lets the moment breathe.
Best announcer ever
Buck is great. Hes among the best.
Joe Buck is one of my favorite announcers of all time
Buck is honestly the GOAT commentator
50-41 felt like all Packer pain
LMAO couldn’t get away from it
I gotta say his homage to his father was class.
Also, you know how epic a game was by how many of these calls are from that one game. Dodgers-Astros World Series game 5 was incredible.
Man basketball and football may be more entertaining moment to moment, but there is nothing as epic as a game-defining, playoff baseball moment.
Travis Ishikawa. Rajai Davis. Freese. Montero.
Unsung heroes man.
That ishikawa homer gives me goosebumps to this day
I know the Cubs win was special but his best call that night was the David homerun late to tie the game. Should've put that one in honestly.
