    I don't know if I'd call Blum great, but Ashby is definitely painful.

    The only thing worse than Ashby being your Color guy, is that he be your Play-by-Play guy. They need to let Ashby go, and they need Bill Brown to go on the road or find a new Play-by-Play man, IMO.

    Well, you know they'd be overly critical.

    I'd say Blum is about where JD was when he first started... maybe even a little wittier earlier. I doubt he'd get to JD's peak, but he's still entertaining enough to be the everyday color guy.

    Agreed on Ashby... he's got no business being a pbp guy, and he's now not even the best color guy they have at their disposal. I think its Bill Brown's choice to no longer go on the road as much, so they'd have to hire somebody new.

    Seemingly, Qualls has a hip issue he is dealing with.

    Stassi drives in 2 in a manner that is about ∞ times less painful.

    Nitro really doesn't look sharp, missing spots badly.

    Not to make excuses, but he hasn't pitched in 12 days. For a guy that relies on feel, that may be a factor.

    Blum and Brown were pretty much really ok the few games I heard them together this year.

    Anything would be better than Ashby, literally anything. HAL9000 deadpan reading the chronicle and espn comments would be better.
