Well, I reckon you might be wonderin’ about who talks during them Detroit Tigers games on TV, right? You know, the folks who help us know what’s goin’ on with the game, shoutin’ out the plays and all that. Now, let me tell ya, the Tigers got a whole team of announcers workin’ hard to make sure you don’t miss a beat. They got folks on TV and the radio, and some of ‘em are real good at what they do, like Jason Benetti.
Now, this Jason Benetti, he’s the main man for play-by-play on TV, startin’ from 2024. I heard he’s got a smooth voice, and he knows his stuff when it comes to callin’ the game. Ain’t no wonder people are talkin’ so highly of him. Been gettin’ praise from players and other broadcasters alike, especially when the Tigers are on a roll, like they’ve been doin’ lately.
But it ain’t just him, no sir. The Tigers got themselves a whole lineup of announcers who work the games across TV and radio. You got people like Carlos Pena, Dan Petry, Kirk Gibson, and even some folks like Greg Gania and Bobby Scales. It’s a big ol’ team that makes sure you got all the action covered, no matter where you’re listenin’ or watchin’ from.
Now, let me go through a few of these folks a bit. I’ve heard of Carlos Pena before, he’s done a lot in baseball himself, so he knows a thing or two about what’s goin’ on out there on the field. Then there’s Dan Petry, he’s been around for a long time too. Folks say he’s good at givin’ insight into what the players are doin’ right or wrong. And don’t forget Kirk Gibson, he’s one of them ol’ timers who played for the Tigers back in the day, so he’s got a lot of wisdom to share. He’s a real character on the mic, always addin’ a bit of fun to the broadcast.
And I gotta mention Matt Shepard too. Now, he’s been around Metro Detroit for years. Been on the airwaves forever, so if you’ve lived around here long enough, you probably heard him callin’ games. Ain’t no doubt that he’s a household name when it comes to Tigers games.
The Tigers’ broadcast team ain’t just limited to the folks I mentioned. There’s also some radio announcers like Dan Dickerson and Rod Allen. They’ve been around for a good long while too, always makin’ sure the folks who can’t watch the game still get to follow along on the radio. It’s a real treat to hear ‘em call the games, and they’ve got a way of makin’ even the smallest play sound like somethin’ important.
And look, this whole setup, with TV and radio announcers, it ain’t just about callin’ the game. It’s about connectin’ with the fans, too. These announcers get a chance to share the excitement of the game, but they also get to tell stories, give a little background on the players, and sometimes even crack a joke or two to keep things light. It ain’t just about the game itself; it’s about makin’ the fans feel like they’re part of somethin’ bigger.
Now, as for whether Jason Benetti will still be callin’ Tigers games in 2025 and beyond, well, that’s somethin’ we’ll have to wait and see. But folks are hopeful. He’s been gettin’ all kinds of praise, so it’s lookin’ like he’ll be stickin’ around for a good while. I reckon the Tigers fans will be happy ‘bout that, especially if the team keeps winin’ games like they have been.
It’s a good time to be a Tigers fan, with all these announcers who really know their stuff. Whether you’re watchin’ on TV or listenin’ on the radio, you can count on ‘em to bring you the game, the stories, and all the excitement that comes with it.
