are just violating Milton on air right now. It's almost like they're trying to convince Castellini to outright him by sheer force of their words. It's brutal. As much as I dislike Milton, this is just brutal.

Sometimes the truth hurts...however that $25 million bucks he didn't earn can't hurt too bad
Some broadcasters wouldn't be able to get away telling it like it is either, especially about a player on their home club. Thankfully, we aren't one of those markets.

He is a power pitcher without any power.
His fastball has no pop, his curve has no bite and his chance little deception and no tumble. The bad knee is not going to get any better.
Continuing to send Milton out to the mound is an exercise in beating your head against the wall.
I'm liking Brantley. He's a color man who actually has some interesting things to say.
Makes all the routine posts.
I like their recommendation that Milton be used as the Number 5 starter. It certainly makes sense.
Their assessment of Coffey's work was fairly blunt, too. I think it was Brantley who said somrthing like "Walking the first batter in an inning when Dick Pole is your pitching coach is a good way to get yourself a ticket on the next bus to Louisville."

I said this in the game thread, too, but Brantley sounds like a young Harry Caray on play-by-play. Take that for what it's worth.
As a color man, he seems knowledgable but, as befitting his ESPN roots, is very prone to making huge overstatements and grand pronouncements based on very small amounts of evidence.
Cool, then it'll be like having Nuxhall in the booth all over again.
We used to dial into WLW on game nights by listening for the absolute silence of Nuxhall at the open mic.
For ever, this has been the sweetest music of summer:
"Thewine annapitch."
Five seconds of silence.
"Swinggg annamiss."
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.
That's what my 14 year old daughter said when she heard him the other day. Not the dark hair bit, but that he sounded loaded. I'm sorry, but I don't like listening to him call a game. Bring back Joe, give me Thom, but keep Brantley away from the mic. I don't care how much baseball he knows, the sound of his voice drives me crazy.

oh, I get it
I like the dialogue that has gone on in the snippets of game action I've caught with first Marty and Thom, then today Marty with Jeff...to his credit, Marty clearly is allowing the other "voices" room to be heard and to grow...it will make for a much more entertaining, and I think informative broadcast
I will say this, however...I look forward to the first offseason where the biggest news for the Reds is signing a big-name free agent PLAYER
