I don't have any interest in hearing the moves he'd make as a GM, but that's generally contained to his radio show, I believe. As an in-booth analyst, he still seems pretty good and better than most of the options I've heard. I'd still prefer Brenly, but really wouldn't have a problem with Stone.

 

As much as he focuses on the Zambrano is too angry, Ramirez is too lazy, small ball is where it's at and nonsensical mental toughness aspect of analyzing baseball, he brings very little to the table. He's really only good for talking about pitching approaches, but even then it all seemed to boil down to "a slider low and away here and he's got him."

 

Brenly is pretty big on the Z is too angry and Ramirez is too lazy as well. He also rails on Soriano too much. And maybe I've just heard good Stone games recently or something because I haven't heard that much small ball love recently from him. It could be there and it would bug me, but you'll get that with almost any analyst.

 

They all love to see sac bunts and moving runners, etc.

 

I'm not a huge Brenly fan either so the comparison doesn't matter.

I think a Len + Glanville would be a really smart broadcast. I'd really enjoy that.

 

Odds are it goes to Grace, Sutcliffe or Moreland (saying Brenly leaves). You could make the case that Sarge would get a look (he's doing TV for the Phillies).

 

I want Glanville.

 

edit: I half-jokingly tweeted Doug to see if he would have any interest in the gig. His reponse.

 

Doug Glanville

@RonanOShea Ronan I figured after my three off key performances for the 7th inning stretch, no Chicago business would want me :)

One of the great things about having Extra Innings is that I've gotten to listen to a lot of color analysts out there. In doing so, I've found there simply aren't many close to as listenable as Brenly. There are a lot of terrible color analysts currently broadcasting games and, considering it's mostly those guys who would replace Brenly, he and Stone look a lot better to me.

 

Brenly - nor Stone - is my ideal color analyst, but I just don't know many that are better and I've listened, in varying degrees, to all of them.

It'll be tough for Glanville to call those day games when he was up the whole night before raiding in World of Warcraft.

 

lol

I'm not getting Extra Innings next year, so I don't really care who they throw in there

 

Why not?

 

it's not worth the money to watch the team suck. I don't think I watched 50 games this year
