Granted only one match (most of the time) but i reckon if you could sober one of them up long enough he would do a better job. They are better at filling gaps in action, just as enthusiastic and IMO more entertaining.
It's not about filling in gaps in action, it's about commenting on about five goals in the space of 30 seconds while maintaining clarity and providing stats on the players/games without second thought. I never watch Soccer Saturday for the commentary during the gaps because they're so rare. That one time was when they did it for eight games only during a Tuesday/Wednesday or something.
