I agree, CWD. My only problem with Ash was that it seemed he felt the need to be critical for the sake of being critical. But I think that he did that while being brought down by Milo, who gets...

This stinks! I thought Ash did a good job and I liked having someone on the radio broadcast that was well versed in the history of the organization and could communicate that to the audience, along...

I'm very disappointed that the Astos let Alan Ashby go. I saw nothing wrong with his radio work. While he might not have been perfect, I appreciated his insight.On the bright side, the new guys have...

It puts the ballclub in an awkward situation when their "anchor" announcer does only home games. Other teams have done it to accomodate aging broadcasters but it means they have to find workable...

Quote:Ash was really in a no-win situation. I hope he turns up somewhere. I keep asking myself why color men like Ash, Dierker and Deshaies don't show up on ESPN or Fox TV telecasts. They seem so much...

I wish we could get Bob Brenly away from WGN. I like that guy.

Totally undeserved and classless. The worst move in franchise history. Pam Gardner should have gotten the ax not Ashby. What was she thinking? Doesn't she understand Astros fans? We are loyal, we...

Wow Sphynx, that's pretty venomous. I'm giving the new guys a chance. I never listened to radio broadcast when I had TV available because I'd rather listen to Brownie anyway. Maybe these guys will...

Deshaies is good for comic relief, but doesn't really add much in the way of real anaysis, and Dierker is not what he once was in the booth. Ashby beats them both when it comes to actually discussing...

Smith, good post. I agree 100 %. I often find myself muting the tv broadcast anyway. I hardly ever listen to Brown, Deshais, and Dierker. Of course, that is only because my radio feed of games is live...

My problem is that I know all of the TV guys. Brownie and Lucas are avid SABR members and really nice guys. They also happen to be very knowledgable. I get the sense that Milo doesn't do his homework...

Deshaies usually shows up on national Fox broadcasts that involve the Astros, like when he does Astros v. Rangers games with that tool Josh Lewin.

Agree with Barzilla about everyone having their own tastes. I know Ryan has said how much he likes Milo, and I can't really stand him. But I liked Ash and thought once he got out from having to clean...

Maybe Purpura is next to go Hate to see Ashby gone.

Pat,Brownie takes a radio approach to TV. In radio dead air is a killing, but in TV you don't have fill every second. And, honestly, much of what says is just inane. He's not terrible I suppose, but...

Smitty - I think we're going to just have to agree to disagree on that. To me, Brownie is the smoothest voice on TV. He doesn't get too far down when things don't work out on the field, and he truly...
