Reply With Quotenot too sure Astros TV is a step up; I think I'd have stuck around another year and had alot more fun calling a winner. I'd like to have a buck for every time he uses the words rebuilding and future this year in Houston
Alan Ashby leaving Jays radio
Ashby is off to do play-by-play on TV for the Astros. I liked him. Good voice, honest sounding. Very analytical, clear and concise. Tough to see him go. In a way I almost feel betrayed - the Jays were just getting rolling. But he's gotta move his career forward, and the next step is TV. Too bad he couldn't get something for TV, permanent, in Toronto.
Any ideas on who replaces him?

Gotta be the $$$$$ then. Weird that Rogers would be cheap with him though

Id say mike WilnerOriginally Posted by Dobber
Probably Mike Wilneer....which sucks because I hate him.
Ashby played his career for the Astros though right? That probably has something to do with it.
Actually he played for the Jays b4 Houston
Fair enough but I meant the majority of his career.

Ashby's home residence is in Houston so he's a lot closer to his family now. Makes sense.
Good for him, now please don't take away Buck Martinez!

Mike Wilner is a goddamn plug and I can't believe he has the position that he has. Such a homer, and that's coming from a big Jays fan.
I searched this thread instead of starting a new one. I've listened to a bit of the spring training games so far and UGH I am NOT looking forward to Wilner this year. Like bondon, I was already often annoyed by Wilner's homer-ness big time!! Listening to his biased opinion during the actual game is going to be painful.
I rarely listen to the games on the radio (unless Im driving home from work and the game is on) so this wont affect me much. As long as he doesnt start broadcasting on SportsnetTV, I should be ok.
I subscribe to him on twitter for his Jays insight, so he can homer all he wants on there. I am ok with that. I dont have to listen to him there.
