The consensus from Tigers Twitter seemed to be that Shepard wasn’t very good, but I never understood why they had that opinion. I thought he was fine.

I just never felt like he followed the ball well enough to make consistently accurate calls.

Shepard would consistently get trashed on social media and forums.  I thought it was often unfair. He got compared to radio guy Dan Dickerson, whom many fans love.  I didn’t think Shep was that bad.  Seems like a nice guy.  Sure, he wasn’t Ernie Harwell, but was perfectly adequate in his role.  Fans get so worked up about the announcers. Tough crowd.
I’d rather get worked up about Hinch’s dumb lineups.

Would love to see them give Mario a 2nd chance.

Ha!   I still have a letter from the Detroit Tigers organization when I sent in an audition to replace Ernie Harwell.
