chetkincaid Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Masur is okay but it sure would have been nice to have an established, veteran radio voice to call the games. Is this more about being cheap or giving a young guy a chance? Edited June 25, 2020 by chetkincaid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnin' two Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Hiring John Rooney back would have saved 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstar Lamar Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 seems like a placeholder hire I think Wills' contract is up after this season so that may be interesting timing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcq Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Rooney walked because the new radio deal was kind of small and salaries were cut. Masur has experience. DJ is a tool. No one replaces Ed Farmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the best post game host imho. That being said, Masur has been good when he has filled in so I have no problem with the move. Speaking of Dave Wills, I looked up his info and saw in college that he also worked for SportsPhone, a call-in service that provided one minute of sports scores and updates for Chicago. Haha, I had totally forgot about Sportsphone until I read that and said "Oh Yeah, I remember calling into that to get scores." Times sure have changed since my first flip phone.

WhiteAnkleSox Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Masur is a pro. I think this will be a major league upgrade for the radio broadcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 The few times I’ve heard him do Sox games, I’ve really thought he’s good. And seems like a genuinely good guy too. Hopefully the radio broadcast matches up to the TV picture close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this more about being cheap or giving a young guy a chance? Cheap Cheap Cheap Cheap Cheap. What else ? A dynamic well-heeled ownership group is going to be needed to keep this team in tact in a few years. It will be terrible for the base to have sat through the honing-skills phase only to watch the finished products flourish elsewhere. I still envision a south loop ballpark. Absolutely sinful the visionless Reinsdorf didn't take Mayor Washington up on his offer to anchor this up and coming area. And all that tourist revenue too boot.

Not taking the South Loop offer from the City of Chicago has to be the biggest mistake in JRs ownership. JR wanted to move to Dupage County/Addison and have the stadium built on land that he owned. JR would have had tax benefits as long as that stadium was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, Farmer died unexpectedly on April 1. Kind of hard to get the kind of "established" guy you are looking for after the season was supposed to start. I think Masur is good. The team makes hardly anything on radio broadcasts. They aren't going to spend a ton of money bringing a big name in. That's for TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
