As someone who calls games, I know how hard it can be and try not to be too critical. With that said, count me as a founding member of the Joe B fan club.

Carnicelli?

I also like Joe B, but he is literally a professional pbp guy who has been doing it for years 70-80 times a year in the NHL. He's got a bit of a head start on everyone else.

Sounds like Bill Tierney is doing radio color for Denver games.

Ha...I like Tierney a lot in general. The game I listened to (Big Red game btw) the pbp dude was just awful. Perhaps if T has, at least a competent partner, he'll do well/better.

Kind of a crazy list (my opinion) since you jumble pbp/color.

Mine would be (from your list):

pbp:
Joe B
Jay ALter
Drew Carter
Anish

color:
Dixon
Quint/Boyle (I loved him when he started, his schtick is wearing off, repeats the same bromides, e.g., open for a reason, a bit too much).
Cotter (maybe, is he the guy that says "for all you young players out there ..." and then repeats the advice?)
Carc
Matt Ward (meh)
Starsia only does Richmond home games, pretty blah, bad pipes
Stawick a color gal that never played the game, I get enough of that in the NHL, altho good pipes (the hop faithful love her because she is a woman)
Jules is OK
Mike Corey dunno.

I also like Booker Coorigan for color in the Corrigan games.
