The nights with Goldsmith and Rowland-Smith will be great imo.
I liked Blowers fine but if the other guys can do as well as RRS, I'll be happy.
Even Angie's better than Sims, so seems like a good cast.
Ecstatic Sims is gone. Every once in awhile I forget and it's like Christmas when I jear it again.

I'll miss Blowers, not a big deal but I like having a guy like that on the broadcast, has the background with the team as well as the Bonifieds, like Paul Moyer with the Seahawks

They should see if Jamie Moyer wants to do some games. I remember he did color for a game once when he was on the injured list and I thought he was great. But I guess he just retired from the game completely.

Not surprised to see Blowers gone but sad he is - I liked listening to him. He seemed to be battling a variety of health issues sadly so again - not surprised to see him step away - probably felt like if he couldn't guarantee the whole year than he shouldn't do it.
We'll see how RRS and Buhner/Valle do - but really not looking forward to hearing Angie .... she really sucks. I'd rather they just leave Aaron alone and give him a dog beside him that they cut to every once in a while, than listen to Angie needing to fill every second of dead air cause she worries there shouldn't be a pause.....

Wasn't a fan of Blowers in the booth. I found him a little patronising. He had this annoying way of calling each play as if he had an all-encompasing knowledge of what just happened he knew it in advance. Worse than we do on Game Threads
That being said, the article says he has been doing the job for 17 years and hasn't commented on the reason for his departure. My bet is cost-cutting - but it seems a bit disloyal of ROOT to dispense with him in this somewhat brutal way.
