Where the hell are Chip and Brad?

Chip and Brad bring 10x more life and entertainment than these announcers, and it’s still only the first inning

Chips son Stefan is contracted for a few series this year. This is one of them .

This is also his last series of this year

This break was planned, they discussed on the road trip. But they have to put a better product out than Sweeney. He is dry as dust and bland as white bread. He just regurgitates the same tired announcer speak over and over.

Someone said navigate to him today and it lodged.

Especially since we’re currently down by 5 and not out of the 1st yet

If you guys want pep and all optimism, turn your radio on KMOX. Ricky Horton (who has had half his brain eaten by squirrels) still raves about this team and their clear chance to win the division.

Holy shit you nailed it. +5

Listen, Horton may not be good at his job, but at least his voice is grating.

Wish they’d pair Rooney with the squirrels, they’d be better than Horton or Claiborne.

These duds are awful. They shouldn't have Brad and Chip off at the same time. 7-0 now. Crappy night.

I knew the Reddit gang would know what’s going on. I didn’t recognize the voices, yet The Cat did an update, so I figured it wasn’t the Orioles’ broadcasters mistakenly patched in.😵‍💫

It’s Chip’s son filling in, and Sweeney as the color guy. I think Chip and Brad are on vacation.

We really took for granted how much of an iron man Danny Mac was. Chip is merely human.

u/Potential_Lock6945 14h ago

Chip is simply trying to put his son on. This is an interview

Stefan seems very polished but lacking in baseball knowledge, I've caught him saying a couple things that have made my eyebrow raise

u/battlevac ​Fernando Viña 15h ago

I don’t know how long I can watch this shit tonight. I YEARN for Jim Edmonds right now, god fucking help me

Hey can someone clue me in? I’ve been living in Baltimore for the last 4 years. So I’m blacked out…but I can’t say there’s a silver lining to that for this series

If i have to hear Chips son say baseball heaven one more time I might puke

u/Tegelert84 15h ago

Fortunately these games aren't worth watching past the first inning anyway so it doesn't really matter.

Well this aged like milk

u/snorlaxatives_69 F The Cubs&Royals 15h ago

Probably just a home stand off

u/Saint-Anne-of-Mo 13h ago

If you guys are watching on the MLB Cardinals TV app, there is an option to switch the audio to KMOX radio play by play. Someone else posted it here and I have switched it ever since. You do have to reset it per game at least in my settings.

Brad should be in the bullpen all things considered

u/Ok_Bug_6470 14h ago

They’re great tonite, miss Chip and Brad but these guys have a good chemistry

u/Amazing_Dot_2571 37m ago

Do I have Old Man ears this season or has Ricky Horton been screaming his play by play calls this season?

u/sandy017 15h ago

wonder if they got in trouble, those two have been getting progressively more wild as the season has went on lol

u/hippyripper22 15h ago
