Cleary this will be an unpopular post on this thread, but I feel compelled to speak up. I have been listening to and watching Cardinals broadcasts since the early 1970's. I am a very loyal and interested fan (some would say too loyal and interested). I thoroughly enjoy Brad Thompson, and I would really miss him if he left. It's a very subjective thing, and I'm surprised I'm in such a minority.
What parts do you enjoy the most? His movie critiques, his family Barbeque stories, Legos stories, color of Chip’s socks stories? That list can go on and on. I think the people that don’t like him such as myself is because he talks about everything except what’s going on in the game. I don’t care what he had for dinner. I don’t care what movie he went to last week. But, to each their own, I miss Mike Shannon.
And nobody cares about you, (donkey)(pit). Good grief. The poster expressed an opinion. And true to form, you have to be a jerk. Go eat a (bleep) sandwich.
You're angry about what an anonymous poster said on a online sports forum? He wasn't even rude lol. He also expressed an opinion.
Here's my opinion: Chip and Brad are a bad combo going forward. We can call them the rebuilding announcers. Hopefully they change suit when the team gets good.
You are chiming in on a situation without knowing the whole story. He was being rude and has a history of posting replies with the sole purpose of being a jerk.
Wouldn't that mean that you also "chimed in".
No. My issue with that individual started when he responded to one of my posts with a rude response. When I saw him repeat it with another poster, I responded.
The difference is I knew the he was being a jerk because I had observed his prior responses to myself and others.
Eh, it's the internet. (bleeps) are everywhere. Or brave people behind a keyboard.

As for the topic, I still dislike Brad and Chip!
You are very right, all types everywhere. And I understand your opinion on the announcers. Not a huge fan myself. Just didn't like how that guy responded to the poster who said he does like them.

Do the games still air on the Audacy app? If so, one could mute the TV feed. And play the radio feed over it.
I could turn on my radio, but it never seemed to be in sync with the TV action so I gave up on that.
The Audacy app feed I believe is on a delay. So it may sync up with your TV.
I just gave it a try. The Audacy app is about 10 seconds behind the tv action. But I can rewind the tv 10 seconds and make it work. Thanks.
No offense, but that might be the stupidest thing I have ever heard anyone doing.

Is there any chance Chips’s son or Sweeney or Dani or Claiborne could replace him for 2027? Maybe Chip by himself like Vin Scully?
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
What a rude and idiotic comment!
I am sure you are a looker

Just curious, why do you think it’s stupid?
I’ve done something similar. I live in Reds territory, and when the Cardinals play Cincy I’m stuck with their broadcast. I don’t want to listen to their broadcast team, so I’ve synched up the TV to MLB.TV’s KMOX stream. I’d much rather listen to John Rooney than their guys.

What’s stupid about listening to two different broadcasts at the same time in sync? Even if it was stupid, if that’s the stupid heard, you haven’t heard a lot.
So, how would you do it that is smarter?

You’re wasting your time with him. He perceives every post I make as an attack on his personal existence. Even if he has to misread or change the meaning of what I said. I try to avoid him, but he’s like a scorned lover with an obsession. He will give you a profanity laced reply that wears out the automatic editor, and then claim you were rude.

MLB posted the clip of Winn’s amazing play today, and it starts off with Brad talking about getting poutine. Cards posted the clip of JJ’s homer, starts off with him yapping.
Not only does he talk too much about dumb stuff, he also doesn’t know to shut up when the pitch is thrown. Edmonds used to do that too. It’s irritating.
Blue jays broadcast is excellent. They are very lucky. Reminds of big fox or espn games - must be nice! I honestly think the Cardinals could care less how bad their broadcast team performs. They have to know something to let Sweeney do 30 percent of the games that there is a problem

Listening to the BJ announcers too. Much better tone and timing. The Cubs announcers yesterday shut up in a timely way, to allow the viewers to watch the game. It's different than radio... we tune in to watch, not listen...take a breath, especially in-game interviews need to go!
