Maybe it’s harsh to call for a Giants personnel firing in only my second blog post, but Renel Brooks-Moon needs to go. She either needs to go, or they need to turn that PA system’s volume WAY down this season. Renel is the only female PA announcer in MLB, true – but that’s certainly not why I’m calling for her termination. It’s not that she’s a woman … it’s that she has a terrible, piercing voice. How someone with such an obnoxious voice could land a career as an announcer of all things is something that perhaps only Ralph Barbieri could appreciate. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve been at a Giants game, been nursing my 5th beer (you gotta put on the beer goggles to appreciate their offense) and truly feeling “in the zone” – only to be jolted awake by one of Renel’s spastic shrieks. There’s nothing about that woman, her voice or her delivery that is even remotely related to or condusive to baseball. I’m not saying that the Giants should replace her with a male PA announcer either. Pick another woman, fantastic, I’m all for it. In fact, pick a random woman off the street – any woman – and give her Renel’s job. And please, Bay Area media, stop giving Runel these little fluff stories where you talk about all her cutesy little Giants merchandise. We’ve all got Giants schwag at our homes, BFD. That is not proof that someone is good at their job. Giants HR folks: conduct an approval poll amongst the fans re. whether they’d like to keep Renel or get a new announcer. I’m telling you, the stats will prove that you are torturing an otherwise captivated audience.
You're a MLB Pro..Thanks For Coming Back!

Wow, a defender of Renel comes out of the woodworks. And not surprisingly, with an anonymous handle. Not defending any sort of skill or attributes of Renel, but just with a barb about age. First of all, I’m younger than Renel. Second of all, it’s not how loud she is, it’s her complete lack of savvy in how she broadcasts over the P.A. These aren’t pep rallies, they’re baseball games. There is a certain demeanor and style that is entirely lacking from Renel. Tell me one thing that is even remotely related to baseball with her approach? She’s talentless… and that is a good job that should go to anyone (man, woman, any race, background or creed) that is TALENTED. Unlike Renel.

does anybody know if she got fired from the radio station?

too much beer drinking makes you dislike renels voice. Keep drinking thats what you obviously do best. Leave Renel alone, I know of plenty of fans who LOVE Renel announcing at giants games, Keep drinking, and let us enjoy RENEL.

How can you apprecciate Renel’s announcing if you get drunk. Go watch the game and enjoy her without drinking and you’ll see. We, her fans, LOVE her.

What is there to enjoy? What exactly are you referring to? I was being a little tongue-in-cheek about the alcohol consumption level. I don’t see how you could possibly identify yourself as being her fan, let alone a part of an alleged group of “her fans.” Renel, if this is you, this is really a low point in your career – defending yourself as “anonymous” on the comments. Time for a new career choice.

you are just being sexist. Need to hear a mans voice to enjoy a game. Maybe you are GAY!
May 3, 2009 at 1:32 pm
Not everyone who lives in San Francisco is gay, anonymous. Happily married with a child. Clearly Renel’s supporters are *classy* though – on the one hand wildly (and anonymously) accusing sexism. And then in the same breath making homophobic accusations. You’re only helping me prove my point about the complete lack of connection between Renel and baseball.

I agree. Renel’s broadcasting is spastic, as though she has tourents syndrome or something.
May 31, 2010 at 4:19 pm
I have recently been discussing this with buddies of mine. No one I know like her style. We all think it is intrusive and grating. nothing personal against her, but I wish someone else was doing her job at the Giants games.
