I'm not gonna be a Brewers fan because I can't rewire my brain after the Cubs/Brewers rivalry heating up so much lately. But, that "I'm probably not going to watch" has turned into a "I'm not going to watch". I'm a fairly recent baseball fan and ignored it for the first 26 years of my life, so I can do it again. Len Kasper who's been with the Cubs since 2004 has left the broadcast booth is leaving his spot to call radio games for The White Sox. Len was classy and said he really prefers doing the radio, but it seems really fishy and like there was some meddling going on from the network.
It's all speculation and conspiracy theories, but every time I've heard Len talk in an interview he sounds very liberal and so does the other Cubs announcer Jim DeShaies. Sinclair Broadcasting and The Marquee Network were messing with the Cubs announce team all year doing things like trying to put noted Conservative Mark Grace in the broadcast booth among other people which damaged the easy going chemistry between Len and DeShaies. They also made the announcers wear suits during every broadcast which neither announcer seemed to enjoy.
The guy they are replacing him with is Chris Myers. I know nothing about him or what his political views are yet, but it wouldn't be a surprise if a 61 year old white guy from Florida that primarily calls Nascar races and looks like this
is a conservative.
