Hey hey - Len Kasper got it right about AW

[jim]

I don't know why this irritates me so much, but I hate it when they talk about AW being converted from a reliever to a starter. On WGN, they got it right, calling him a starter who went to the bullpen for a year and then embraced going back to starter.

Hats off to Kasper/Brenley of WGN for finally getting it right.

Len is a great announcer. Bob not so much.

I'm in the minority with Brenley, I like him. He's kind of folksy, but he's pretty knowledgeable and I think the Len/Bob team is up there.

But then again, I like Joe Morgan so I guess you have to take what I say with a grain of salt.

My main problem is that Bob just talks too much. I have the same problem with Al. I can see the game. I don't need them talking all of the time.

I don't like either one of them much, I appreciate that Len is more saber-friendly than most PBP guys, but I think they dumb down the game too much.

As Jim likes Joe Morgan, Hawk Harrelson is one of my fav. announcers.

I love the Kasper-Brenly duo.

I'm with you. That drives me bonkers. It's sloppy journalism/fact-checking.

Kasper is a knowledgeable guy, although I think he should show it more and give his audience more credit.

Brenly's value to me is comedic relief. I've done a decent enough job of being able to tune him out if he's going to give an opinion.

My opinion of Len Kasper went up ten-fold during WGN's broadcast of The Cubs day game against the Rockies a week and a half or so ago when he suddenly decided to reference: "It's peanut butter jelly time!"

I might be the only one, but I really like the Farmer-Stone team on the Sox games broadcast by WSCR.
