    It's what Ashby does. Him and Bill Worrell are two crotchety old men of Houston sports broadcasting.

    There's no point in sending him back down to beat on Triple A pitchers.

    He's gonna have to learn how to swim, or he drowns. He actually has the 2nd highest OPS of our outfielders (sad isn't it) so we don't exactly have options

    I think we need to see Blum with Brown. How can we judge Blum when he is stuck in the booth with someone as terrible as Ashby?

    Why again was Deshaies not retained? Not that I blame him for taking his "promotion".

    Do we know if staying in Houston was his choice over Chicago?

    Frrom what I remember, it was a tough decision for him. He basically said he loved Houston and working with Brown, but "C'mon, it's the Chicago, it's the Cubs" and it was too good an opportunity to pass up.

    Hmmm: broadcast on a superstation (though that may change next year) for a team with a national following or broadcast in a city where only 40% of the people have access to the network.
