I think Bally is serving us up the worst TV booth of my lifetime, which stretches back to when Ernie and Kell were working together. They tell me that before that Van Patrick was just as good, which I believe even though I never heard him do baseball  as Van the best I ever heard doing football  - which I did hear him do for the Lions for a long time.

I'm really disappointed in Monroe. I thought when they gave him his shot he might be decent - but it's like he's locked into a platitude phrase book - constant repetition of mostly poorly applied stoc

Nope. If Schoop's leash were any shorter he'd bump his nose turning his head. Ironically. probably also true for McKinstry - they wan't to get him into some games, see if they have anything before dec

I think it's a simple case of A.J. putting everybody into games everywhere early in the season to see who sticks where, and also, whether they see the need to get the Express going.

I would want to hear more of Cameron Maybin and Jonesy before making that call, but seeing Shep rub up Monroe's head during Game 2 is embarrassing

I can't listen to him. Scales on the other hand may have a ways to go but he's pretty natural and occasionally says something clever. There's potential for improvement.

Monroe been showing us what he is for years. Not sure why we'd expect something different.

I like Bobby Scales so far.

Another weird thing. A couple of times during the pre-season, I brought up gameday audio opposite  my Bally feed and the time adjustments were there on the gameday page. Today they were gone and the audio was quite a way behind the video. So I  set the video to record and that let me watch the video from the recording 30 sec or so behind needed to match the audio, which I couldn't adjust. I'm iritated they are making this difficult for me. If it comes down to listening to Shepherd and Monroe in order to watch a game, I simply won't watch.

It's not just Monroe's homerism which, yes, is bad. But even worse to me is his whole I'm-still-in-the-game schtick: referring to The Guys by their cutesy-poo clubhouse nicknames; acting as a cheerleader and an apologist for The Guys; leaning hard on jock-talk crutches; and, of course, his general lack of actual insight for which he's apparently relying on his memory of what it was like when he was a player on the inside, rather than studying up on the game as an informed outsider.

In other words, he comes off like a YouTube or TikTok amateur, not as a broadcast professional.
