Wow shocked. Kerber is passionate so I think he’ll be good but vitale has been rough whenever I’ve heard him. Rivers isn’t the highest bar tho…

JK will be missed in any event. Very surprised

Warmann the Blues Live host for home games.
Strickland the host for road games.
Alexa Datt is outta there.

NEVER was a fan, but to give the 101 clowns the reigns????



Vitale is not good, and the 101 sports guys are not good.

This blows…I cannot stand Kerber and Vitale is just as bad. I cannot even believe they let Kelly go.

They need a billionaire to buy a big piece of the team.

Stillman is not a rich guy. He has rich friends, but they dont pay the bills, he does. Gotta get STLFCCity Owner more involved in the money front. She has billions with a B, not tens of Millions like Tom

Stupid decisions across the board.

Not a fan of losing Kelly and even less of a fan of things going down this way given his family history with the franchise.

Not particularly a fan of Kerber/Vitale. They spend way too much time discussing things other than the game.

Not a fan of losing Alexa Datt. Especially not in favor of the dweeb Scott Warman.

Absolutely not a fan of getting more Strickland shoved down our throats.

I enjoy Kerber and will be happy to hear him on the Blues TV broadcast BUT I will miss John Kelly. When he was a part of the Kelly/Pang team I found the Blues broadcast enjoyable. The broadcast lost some when the station didn’t ran off Pang.

This is about Fanduel cutting cost. It’s a sign of the times boys.

Product really has been downgraded significantly in the past few years. At least the team should be a bit more entertaining

Definitely a cost thing, but I checked and John Kelly is about to turn 65. I’m sure he loves what he does but maybe he sent signals that the travel was getting to be a little much. Regardless, it’s a shame and it will be a little odd without having him calling the games.

Ah that’s a bummer. I really like John Kelly. I have mixed feelings on Kerber. I guess we’ll see how he translates to tv, but his style can be harsh. Kelly comes off as much more relaxed. Kerbs is passionate about the Blues though, I’ll give him that. Vitale has been rough. Rivers was an obvious downgrade from Pang but I grew to like him and think I’d rather he stay on color.

Kerbs is fine as long as you don’t care what is happening in the game. He has a keen grasp of the obvious.
