Remember that a couple of years ago, she took a foul ball off her head/face that damaged her vision. But she got glasses and soldiered on. She's is trooper, and count on the fact that many of the players respect her for that particular reason alone. First Hamels breaks down, now this. Still waiting for the good news about 2020.
The only way this would make any sense is if Kelsey got a national network job. But with how much she’s on social media, if that were the case, Kelsey would have likely announced it by now. Looking on social media, the majority of Braves fans are ticked off by this news
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
I have no idea if she got better after going national, but Andrews with the Braves was hands down the worst in-studio talent I've ever seen. Ever. She couldn't pronounce even common non-English names (once calling Ivan Rodriguez [Eastern Euro pronunciation of Ivan] rod-RIG-gwez), and stumbled over the names of plays anyone with even the slightest knowledge of the sport would know (one I recall was a Grand (3-4 second pause) Slam (2-3 second pause) Homer (slight pause) Run, each word spoken like it had a question mark after it). She's one of the very few people who's exits I've celebrated (Chip the first time, Paciorek, and Andrews is that list).

I definitely enjoyed watching Erin leave

Haha - someone started a Keep Kelsey petition
Unfortunate for Kelsey... but hoping this means Ashley Shahamahdi gets more screen time.
Forever Fredi
Yeah this is pretty confusing to say the least, fans liked her, players liked her. Unless she got a national network job, no idea about this.
I mean...she actually is the one that left. She was just released from her contract before it ended. She took another position, in football I believe. Like someone mentioned, she had a stepping stone position with the Braves.
Yeah, she only did a few games anyway. It’s been widely reported that it was FOX that let her go.
The Athletic report seems to indicate that it was the Braves who made the decision, not her and not Fox.
