Chip Caray to St Louis Broadcasts

[CrimsonCowboy]

I’m not sure how much of an option Tom Hart is, considering he’s got a good gig at ESPN/SEC Network. But who knows. I also wonder how much of a contract Bally Sports will pay to an announcer, considering the financial trouble they’re in.

Considering Chip just moved from Bally Southeast to Bally Midwest to do Cardinals games, I'm not sure it's all about that.

Bally Midwest is owned by the Cardinals. They have plenty of money. Apples and bowling balls.

Cards are only a minority owner.

Diamond/Sinclair still own the majority of it and the rest of the old Fox Sports Net regional networks.

Chip should fit right in with the Cards and their traditional fanbase.

I had no idea Harry did Cards games before he did Cubs games. It must be weird moving to the rival, especially when you have to at least pretend to be a homer every day.

I am actually very surprised of the sad Braves fans about this news. Sticking to just mainly this board, I thought Chip was disliked as he is just a simpleton announcer who refused to look at how this game is evolving. I was wrong. I’m entirely unsure of why he is mostly loved.

Stupid people on Facebook like stupid announcers because it makes them feel like it's ok to be stupid. That appeal applies to many places, as evidenced by the orange cult.

Give me someone, anyone, who actually enjoys the modern game and can explain it to the simpletons in the South who still think bunting and "putting the ball in play" is good baseball.

Also did White Sox before Cubs.

I don't know why you are so malicious toward folks who enjoy baseball just for the fun of it. It may make them look stupid but your comments make you look awfully small as a person.

Great points. Longhorn fans are the worst.

If he stays in the booth into his 70s like his Pops, I would say he may be back. Remember he started with EJ Sr. on the original SportsSouth before moving on to Seattle and Big Fox.

It didn’t even age eight hours !

God, please. The last thing is some announcer who thinks he's smarter than everyone.

Way better than announcers who **** on the modern game and wine that it's not played like it was 30 years ago. Who does that?

Bowman:

Tom Hart remains a top finalist to replace Chip Caray in the Braves' television booth. Sounds like Ben Ingram will remain in his preferred role on the radio side. Ben is as good as it gets on radio.

[NinersSBChamps]

There’s something about listening to a baseball game on the radio. Brings back memories for sure.
