Sterling is heavily criticized in the media, with over 100 websites dedicated to denigrating his style and calls. Many baseball writers and websites have ranked him the worst or close to the worst of current baseball radio announcers. Much of the criticism stems from calling balls home runs that are not home runs, mixing up fair and foul balls, and his personalized home run calls, which some people view as “over-the-top” or “too much”.

Regularly criticized by Craig Carton and Phil Mushnick for his inaccurate calls, Mushnick has called him a “dishonest, self-promoting clown”.
