Interesting

Wonder who they’ll get to replace him on Comcast. As goofy as Dan is, I really didn’t mind him in little 20 minute spurts after the game. I don’t think I could stomach him for three hours a day in the booth or anything, however.

Yes, the Big Blue Train has left the station.

It belongs to the world now.

Personally, I liked the guy.

He was knowledgeable and really knew what he was talking about,

Oh well.

I liked him, too.

Maybe they’ll bring Bielecki back.

Replacement

I tend not to look at fanshots but what I posted in the fan post I deleted was that I could see Todd Hollandsworth get a look. He’s getting more attention and experience in the Chicago area as a baseball analyst and he’s pretty solid. Dave Otto could also get a second chance.

I’m glad Plesac has moved on. His monotone voice and overall lack of presence make him tough to listen to. He seems like a nice guy and knows his stuff but he does not have a broadcast presence.

I agree with you re: Hollandsworth.

He seems like a rising broadcast star.
