MarlinGuru Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Exactly one year ago today, our beloved announcer Len Kasper signed with the WGN to announce for the Cubs. He is still missed. FSN has got to change our announcer. Rich Waltz is mediocre at best and doesn't have as much baseball knowledge as others. We miss you Len!

TheDon Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Exactly one year ago today, our beloved announcer Len Kasper signed with the WGN to announce for the Cubs. He is still missed.

I totally agree about the Rich Waltz thing....He sounds like a really nice guy and he tries real hard but he just doesnt have the MOJO man. Have you noticed that he knows VERY little about baseball? :banghead With that said....I miss Boog WAY more than I miss Len although I would designate Waltz for assignment in a heartbeat to get Kasper back.

Skully Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Rich Waltz is good. I don't know why people here don't like him. His baseball knowledge is fine, and he showed plenty of enthusiasm. However, I may be a bit biased, but the best broadcasters in baseball right now have to be Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper. They do the Giants broadcasts. If you guys have never heard them, tune in to a Giants game on MLB.TV or DirecTV.. however you can. They are awesome. Not only do they know their baseball inside out, but they are hilarious.

PSLMARLIN Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I really liked Len Kasper , He was a fantastic radio voice , but I see nothing wrong with Rich Waltz . Dont judge the poor guy just because he looks like he is stalking Tommy Hutton when they show him talking to each other . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyMountainMarlin Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 That was the low point of the 2004 offseason. How much things can change in a year .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_eob Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I really dislike Rich, zero presence. Tommy and Boog for 2006! :thumbup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I really dislike Rich, zero presence. Tommy and Boog for 2006! :thumbup I'm assuming you know that Boog turned down the TV job last year (that's why we signed Waltz), and not only that but he has a contract still with ESPN to do Wednesday baseball. Exactly one year ago today, our beloved announcer Len Kasper signed with the WGN to announce for the Cubs. He is still missed. FSN has got to change our announcer. Rich Waltz is mediocre at best and doesn't have as much baseball knowledge as others. We miss you Len! I totally agree about the Rich Waltz thing....He sounds like a really nice guy and he tries real hard but he just doesnt have the MOJO man. Have you noticed that he knows VERY little about baseball? :banghead With that said....I miss Boog WAY more than I miss Len although I would designate Waltz for assignment in a heartbeat to get Kasper back. Huh? Waltz is extremely knowledgeable in baseball. He knows historical facts/stats almost as well as Tommy. If anything, his iffy on screen presence is his downfall. His voice doesn't command attention...but he does a good job with what he has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinGuru Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 I guess we'll just have to go Cuban style and mute the TV, and put DVH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBMarlin Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 In hindsight it looks like Len made his move at just the right time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
