The "bat crack mic" is annoying as hell. I keep looking up expecting to see huge hits. Deceiving for us that don't watch every pitch.

Bauer can eat a bag of dicks. I usually like him but not today

ESPN telecasts are such a fricking joke. A-Rod has been awkwardly trying to explain Donaldson’s swing for this whole goddamn inning


I'll take it any day/all day over Chip and Frenchy.

Especially Chip...he just gets worse every year.He makes the broadcast virtually unbearable.

Frenchy's not all together bad and I give him somewhat of break for being relatively new to a full time gig.

I don't disagree here, but at least Chip gives the impression of being a genuinely nice guy like his grandfather.

Frenchy is great and his anecdotes are actually relevant to today's MLB unlike Simpson.

Frenchy is already a 1000% improvement over Simpson.

I was one of them. And it's more of the expensive contract combined with his slow start that have some us questioning the acquisition. But, regardless, I was really glad to see Josh turn it on yesterday, and I'm happy for him. I hope this is the start of a good run for him and the team.

Max Fried is amazing and quickly becoming my favorite pitcher. Kid has ice water running through his veins. Excellent composure to be so young.

His Father Skip was head and shoulders above him.

Jim Powell (Braves radio) is a far superior play by play guy.Really wish they'd give him a shot to take over for Chip.

Simpson was fine until he turned into a bitter old man.Frenchy isn't bad though and is getting better.The problem is Chip does most of the talking.

You seem to have read something out of my statement that I didn't say.

I wasn't referring to their ability as baseball announcers.

Nope just adding to the statement and Chip being a "nice guy" doesn't make him any more bearable to listen to.

At least Harry was entertaining and Skip was entertaining and a very good play by play guy.

Chip is neither. Both Skip and Harry spent years refinning their craft on radio where as Chip pretty much jumped into TV out of the gate because of his name.

The final straw was when he mocked Juan Soto's age and then Mike Rizzo went up to the booth to confront him

Dont forget him complaining about the Dodgers taking BP in shorts and t-shirts.

Joe probably needed a break more than he realized.

I think Frenchy has been a very good replacement. I really like the insight he provides during game situations. It's nice to hear the intel about what's going on in the locker room too.

I love Jim Powell. He's the best in the business.
