Joe Siddall officially stepping into the broadcast booth to replace Buck Martinez is the spectacular television transition we absolutely love today.
Losing an absolute broadcasting legend like Buck to a highly deserved retirement is incredibly emotional for this passionate fan base.
We all grew up listening to his iconic voice call the absolute biggest moments in franchise history over the past few decades.
But the front office and network executives completely nailed this incredibly difficult massive transition perfectly.
Joe Siddall is undeniably the absolute perfect man for this legendary job.
The brilliant Windsor native has been an absolute staple of our daily baseball lives since he first joined the radio booth in 2014.
He worked alongside the legendary Jerry Howarth before sliding over to television to provide spectacular elite insight on Blue Jays Central.
His brilliant baseball mind completely elevates the entire broadcast
Every single fan feels a massive rush of pure comfort knowing Dan Shulman has a highly familiar and brilliant partner beside him.
Siddall completely understands the modern game from a catcher's unique perspective and breaks down complex pitching mechanics beautifully.
He already proved he can seamlessly handle the intense pressure when he brilliantly filled in for Buck during previous seasons.
Replacing an absolute icon is a terrifying challenge, but his phenomenal track record makes him the overwhelming fan favorite today.
Caleb Joseph is also reportedly ready to step up and backfill whenever the main duo desperately needs a well-deserved break.
Hazel Mae returns to provide spectacular sideline reporting, ensuring our incredibly talented broadcast team remains the absolute best in the entire business.
We will deeply miss hearing Buck yell "Get up, ball!" when Vladimir Guerrero Jr. launches a massive majestic moonshot into the stadium seats.
But welcoming Siddall into our living rooms every single night perfectly guarantees another spectacular summer of elite winning baseball coverage.
Let the new broadcasting era officially begin while we fiercely prepare for a legendary championship run this season.
