Today I'm watching the TV broadcast, and yesterday I listened to the radio broadcast as I was travelling home from Athens after watching the Bobcats thrash the Kansas Jayhawks.
I have to say that my preferred broadcast duos are:
TV: Jim Day & Chris Welsh
Radio: Jim Kelch & Jeff Brantley
I'm ready to completely separate from the Brennaman clan.
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
Jim Day is likable enough but his PBP chops need improved. Odd phrasing and pacing and a lack of smooth transitions to Welsh. I'd prefer bland Kelch to Day right now but let's see if Day can improve.
I have Kelch working radio with Brantley because he and Cowboy seem to have good chemistry. JD is inexperienced, but he comes across as sincere, and I think he will improve.

The Reds' TV crew only ranks about average when compared to other MLB clubs I've watched. Lots of bad ones out there. On radio, since I cannot see the action, I don't like Kelch because his voice just irritates me so much, I can't listen, and although Brantley is improving his pbp, he is best as a color man. Marty is Marty, but I really know what's going on in the game when he's not pontificating about one thing or another. I enjoy guys that entertain me because I'm only listening when I'm in the car. John Sterling of the Yankees ranks high for me too.

No Doug Flynn on your list? Had the misfortune to be listening to the game while I mowed with Doug on the mike
I don't think I've ever heard Doug Flynn call a game.No Doug Flynn on your list? Had the misfortune to be listening to the game while I mowed with Doug on the mike

The horror. The horror.
Took 23 pitches but a scoreless first for Bob with 2 strikeouts and a walk.
