The sheer amount of player-specific lines from RoFlo, which I feel are few and far between with Boog and Singy beyond select anecdotes about certain players.

But there's a lot of player-focused lines that make his commentary pop better that I would like to hear from the more serious booth, from RoFlo having individual player HR calls and acknowledgements ("___ steps to the plate after the HR by Henderson") to stuff like "Opportunity to drive in Buxton" if you have him in RISP or who's coming to bat immediately after an out before the batter cutaway ("One away and it'll bring up Mookie Betts"). There's even a line like "We have a Polar Bear sighting in the Rockies" if you bring Alonso to the plate in Coors.

The fourth wall breaking and pop culture gags I can definitely see why it would grate for some people, but some of the detail in his commentary for the actual game reinforces how generic the two man booth can be, especially after the Matty V era was dotted with so much of those player specific lines.
