Chip Caray to St Louis Broadcasts

**The Chosen One** · 01-23-2023, 06:20 PM

Mentioned on radio here in Atlanta.

Ben or Powell if staying in-house.

**bravesfanforlife88** · 01-23-2023, 06:28 PM

Powell is the absolute best. Would love him in the booth my guess is they move back Simpson

**VirginiaBrave** · 01-23-2023, 06:36 PM

Isn't Powell like semi-retired? Ben would be the obvious choice. This is a shocker.

Not really.

He was born in St. Louis when Skip was doing St. Louis Hawks broadcasts. His grandpa did STL broadcasts for years before moving to the Cubs.

He worked for his father's baseball team, and also for his grandfather's other baseball team previously. Now he wants to finish the circle.

I would be fine with one of the radio guys, but I’d also love to go steal a good one from another team. Brian Anderson with Milwaukee comes to mind.

I also don’t know who has the final say in the hire. Is it Bally Sports SE leadership? I would assume the Braves don’t have much of a say in this, but I’m not sure how this works.

Thought about that too. But completing the cycle would mean a stint with the White Sox after the Cards.

Kind of late to go after an outside hire I would think.

**CyYoung31** · 01-23-2023, 06:55 PM

This is the biggest move of the off-season.

**GovClintonTyree** · 01-23-2023, 07:04 PM

The best play by play man currently employed by the Braves is Ben Ingram, and it’s not particularly close. Move him over.

**bravesnumberone** · 01-23-2023, 07:08 PM

Would hate to lose Ben from the radio, but he’s the obvious choice.

**CyYoung31** · 01-23-2023, 07:09 PM

No more Freddie, Dansby and now Chip. Will there be a fan left on Facebook?

**Buzzworm** · 01-23-2023, 07:12 PM

Thank goodness.
Would love to have Boog back from ESPN but I’m sure he’s making good money and wouldn’t leave.

Boog took a cushy job with the Cubs iirc

Random thought I had - Tom Hart is doing really well with the SEC Network now. He had at least a few seasons in a lesser role with Braves broadcasts. I wouldn’t mind that.

**VirginiaBrave** · 01-23-2023, 07:27 PM

I know this will be unpopular but I wouldn't miss Kelly either.

The phrase "addition by subtraction" was essentially invented for this scenario.

**brian22** · 01-23-2023, 07:56 PM

I wondered why Ingram was handling Chip’s interview duties at Bravesfest.

**Heyward** · 01-23-2023, 08:06 PM

Ingram's the obvious choice.

**The Chosen One** · 01-23-2023, 08:07 PM

To me, Ingram has a voice meant for radio, not for TV.

His monotone voice reminds me a bit of Pete Van Weiren. But I loved Pete on TV so I can't complain.

**CrimsonCowboy** · 01-23-2023, 08:18 PM

I know Chip isn’t overly popular in Braves Country, but it will be strange not having a Caray in the Braves TV booth
