Can someone tell me who in the organization thinks Brad Thompson is

Post by Kentucky kid »

is a good announcer, cause someone must think so. I think he is probably a nice guy, but he would be better doing public relations for cardinals , but not broadcasting.

I have seen a few episodes of Thompson with Fredbird doing those shows. That fits his personality pretty well . He also seems good when the two of them visit elementary schools for PR stuff.
As for analyst on games , I do prefer Sweeny by a large margin.

Who is the bald guy on the post game? His baseball knowledge is OK, but man that voice is so grating I can hardly stand to listen. nails on a blackboard.

That’s Mike Sweeney, former big leaguer.

I also prefer Sweeney over Brad. I do think Brad has toned it down some with all the unnecessary banter.

Horton is a great guy but does not belong in a booth.

Hate to break this to the OP but Thompson's gig is definitely public relations.

The time for being objective and educating fans instead of indoctrinating them are long over.

Thompson never breaths when he's in full run talk, no pause, nothing just a continued flow of nonsense. Nobody has said less with more, than Brad Thompson.
