Kelch to replace Keels on FSOhio Broadcasts this year
This is good news Reds fans. Jim Kelch does a great job calling the game, and Keels is pretty good at football.

Good news
Keels was a yawn job.
Now if only the Brenneman’s would retire…
Fred Lewis and EdRent together are not worth One Laynce Nix
I agree with you on both counts.
Jim Kelch does a good job whenever I catch him on the radio.
Thom Brennaman has always been a hack riding on his father’s coat-tails.
Marty just hasn’t been the same since Nuxy passed away.

This is hard to even type this
But tHom actually has a pretty proven track record and have been around for a lot of different stuff in the world of baseball. Maybe it’s because I also am a hate monger and truly despise Cubs fans. I actually am glad he’s here in Cincinnati. Maybe tHom will carry on his father legacy for quite some time. You might as well get used to seeing him, It’s not like Rose’s son, It’s more like Griffey’s

Sorry but as Grahamophone so eloquently put it:
Thom Brennaman has always been a hack riding on his father’s coat-tails.

tHom doesn't even shut up when he's blowing Madville.

I’ve never heard Thom call a really great game (baseball or football). Madville already pointed out that he never shuts up, and it’s even worse when he’s with the Cowboy. He just eggs Brantley on.

I thought Marty was pretty good this last season
It does him a world of difference if he’s calling games for a good team. Also, can you imagine if Keels had been calling Jay’s home run to clinch the division? That might have ruined the whole thing.

Agree
Marty’s great to listen to when the team’s doing well. I like Kelch, but he’s not on Marty’s level as a PBP guy.
Ditto
Marty & Cowboy were much much better last year. As much as Marty & Cowboy can be annoying sometimes if they are trying to carry the show during a bad game, it will be a sad day when Marty retires.
After subscribing to MLB.tv’s audio-feed and listening to some of the opponents’ radio guys, our staff is one of the best. I’m not sure if that says more about the Reds broadcast team or the state of sports broadcasting today.
I also think Marty and Brantley are a really good combination
Their chemistry is very strong. Now, when Marty takes his naps and leaves Brantley to run the show on his own, it is godawful. Right up there with Keels awful. Also, if the team is losing, they can get into a spiral of ass-headed pessimism, which I think Kelch is more resistant to. But when things are going well, I enjoy listening to Marty and Brantley call a game together.

We will soon forget the name of the man,
That could not remember anyone’s name.
"Never fight a land war in Asia"
was listening to him announcing the osu mich basketball game 2 days ago
He got denard robinsons name wrong. I guess it’s not just baseball players he can’t remember.
I heart Kelch
Nice to see the cream rising to the top.
(But wow, he spent 20 years doing Louisville Bats broadcasts?)
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Aggressive GMs add spice to NL Central outlook
from MLB.com:
Over in Cincinnati, former Cards GM Walt Jocketty has, aside from the recent acquisition of aging World Series hero Edgar Renteria and veteran outfielders Fred Lewis and Jeremy Hermida, generally rested on the laurels of a strong stable of young players and a definitively deep pitching staff. The defending division champs have an embarrassment of riches in their rotation, with Bronson Arroyo, Johnny Cueto, Travis Wood, Homer Bailey and Mike Leake all aboard and Edinson Volquez ready for a full season’s work.Not many clubs could afford the luxury of keeping Aroldis Chapman and his blazing fastball in a bullpen setting, but the Reds can. They can also afford to spend their winter performing routine maintenance on the roster, rather than undergoing a major overhaul.

Personally, I'm looking forward to a Kelch-Welsh combo
I think that could be very enlightening. Kelch sounds like he likes to talk about the intricacies of the game, which gives Welsh a chance to talk about baseball rather than other stuff, and that’s when he’s at his best.

I prefer Welsh to talk about the Pondarossa.

Also, their names almost rhyme.
Which is cool.

i seriously just did a celabratory dance in my office ...
"And a high fly ball to center field. He hit it a ton. And the 2010 National League Central Division Champs are the Cincinnati Reds!"
As usual
I disagree.
- To me, Kelch is hard to listen to, while Keels has one of the greatest announcing voices I’ve heard. I agree that Kelch does a better job announcing, but I’d much rather listen to Keels call a game.
- tHom does a good job. To me, his biggest problem is being teamed with Brantley; I think Cowboy Idiocy © is contagious.

Principal Skinner has a great voice too
But he is boring and often wrong.

Are you suggesting Brantley spent some time in Crawford, TX?
When you come to the fork in the road, take it.

You like Keels but not Kelch?
Now I think you are just being contrary.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Jan 14, 2011 11:24 AM EST up reply actions
Again
In terms of listening to them talk, yes. Kelch is technically better, but Keels is much easier to listen to.
Catherine Zeta-Jones isn’t going to win an Oscar anytime soon, but I’d much rather look at her in a movie than Merryl Streep.
"You never know how you look through other people's eyes"
Gotcha
I can dig that. Keels’ velvety baritone is certainly something to behold. It’s funny, because he is some kind of ugly.

much like this guy

As someone who never watches broadcasts on FS Ohio,
I’m just glad to hear he’ll still be on the radio this year. I momentarily panicked when I saw the headline.
by the finest muffins on Jan 14, 2011 6:24 PM EST reply actions
I have never heard Kelch
but I welcome the news because he is not Keels. Thom is par for the course these days, which means just generally not very good, and just hope that he’s paired with Cowboy as seldom as possible. I’ll be interested to see how Kelch gels with the others.
