The Atlanta Braves

[GAVol]

Tom Hart would be a good choice. Never heard him call a baseball game but like him during CFB games. According to Wiki he used to call Tennessee Smokies games.

If Bowman has it, it's basically a trial balloon. Nothing leaks from the Braves front office.

1000%

He literally did Braves games for at least 3 years.

I was trying to remember if he ever actually did any play by play. I know he did the pregame show and sideline stuff.

Tweets from Bowman might as well be from Alex.

He didn’t do pxp but he did pre game/post game and in-game. He was everywhere

Now - if they'll just bar Francoeur and Jordan from the broadcast booth . . . it will be a perfect day.

You may not recognize the name, but you're going to know who he is as soon as you hear the voice. I think he does a good job and sounds at lot less Anchorman-ish than Chip.

His voice sounds familiar, I do recognize that.

What years?

 

[GAVol]

What years?

Probably 8-10 years ago.

What years?

He was Kelsey before Kelsey. Wasn’t long ago

I'm probably too hard on Frenchy. He's not really that bad, but he doesn't exactly add a lot of hard hitting commentary.

Hart’s pretty good on SEC Baseball, so I’m fine with it. It’s gonna be nice to just not hear Chip for a year or two

I know @vols 30 will convulse seeing this but I’d like to get at least one guy who can tell me what FIP or wRC+ is and why it’s important

When was that? I must have memory holed it.

I wouldn't mind that either, but hardly any of them do that. And, really, I don't need the color guy to be a complete stathead or go Tony Romo on every play. I just like to occasionally hear them do more than be an affable guy who states the obvious.

Yeah i don't care about a stat nerd.

TBH, I don't know what it is. I Do know what HR, RBI, And SB is.

Thanks for this. Went last year with the young kids and it was a perfect start time for them. It was pretty full up in there. Will do it again this year if I can.

I went to the Fri/Sat game of the Padres series they did that. Thr hotel we stayed at there were quite a few families getting ready for the game when we were leaving.

I actually don't mind him too much now. He seems to be getting better each year with what he says. Still not great but not horrible either

He was Kelsey+Jerome+Paul Byrd

The guy was everywhere
