Sweeney might be terrible but you can’t tell, it’s relative to Brad.

Okay, okay, so shoot me, but when are they going to be able to AI Harry, Jack and Joe and give us back some really great announcers?

If you had to listen to Chip instead of watching it, you'd never know what happened. Line drives are bloopers, deep drives are medium fly balls, great catches rare routine plays...drives me nuts. It's like I'm watching a different game.

Chip is ok. Rooney is good, not great. Ricky and Brad are what they are. Claiborne is BORING doing a game. And Sweeney is average.

Sorry fans, the days of Jack, Mike, Joe, and even Danny Mac are long gone.

Seems like whoever his boss is has to know Thompson is terrible. Anytime he takes a day off the broadcast is instantly better.

He is perfect to help with the Fredbird crew and Chip seems to keep suggesting that he could join them. Thompson seems like he is up for it. Perfect match
Dani? - that woman has a face for RADIO only
Not very nice.
I used to hear Dani on the XM radio MLB channel I thought she was very good. Jenny Cavnar was the one I couldn't stand. And talking about faces, Cavnar had the crazy eyes. Where are the dead bodies, that was my question.

Ricky and Brad are both good cardinals. I respect their playing careers. But Brad especially takes away from the game when he gets Chip off topic on whatever silly topic he can think of to get some laughs.

Someone on here said BT hams it up for the cameras and I had to looked that one up and it’s not far off.

ham it up - To act in an exaggerated way, typically in order to try to be funny.
To exaggerate a performance or act in an overstated or over-the-top manner, often to the level of being irksome & annoying to the audience

Place Brad in the studio and replace him with Sweeney. I would for Dani to take some turns in the TV booth as the analyst.
