Should feel wrong to call him The Kid but I think it's okay.

Anytime Hoskins wants to do anything remotely productive that would be fantastic.

Do people like Vinny? If he becomes the long term Rock replacement I wouldn't be mad.

I think he comes off like an as*hole jock too often, personally. Dillard can be awkward but I find him more endearing.

I'm not crazy about either of them but if I had to pick I'd pick Dillard. I have a feeling they'll keep splitting it for all games once Rock hangs it up, which could be after this season.

I can't stand Dillard, he's so awkward. Vinny is fine, I don't really have an opinion on him

I greatly preferred Vinny last year, but I kind of turned my opinion over the course of this season. I now don't really like either, but not sure it's enough to have a strong feeling either way.

The dweeb bothers me, though.

I don’t really have a strong opinion on either as well. They’re fine, but haven’t like had that I hope they are the next Rock vibe either. Dillard I think has more potential as believe he is kind of a witty dude that may show more as he gets experience. Rottino I think is a bit more polished but is who he is at this point. Feels like our play by play is on verge of transition mode with Rock, Uecker being at end and BA essentially half time. I wouldnt be shocked if Levering went more national at some point if offered more.

Levering definitely wants a national gig. He does college hoops and maybe other stuff. Good, I hope he gets it, don't care for him. Supposedly he was going to leave if not given the Brewers TV gig. I imagine Amazon or NBC will go after BA when his contract ends. He lives here and has been doing Brewers games for 17 years so hopefully he can continue to do at least the 50 games or so he does now.

There is probably zero chance Hoskins declines his player option, right?

I did not have an Aaron Ashby career revival on my bingo card. But he's throwing hammer curves and painting the corners with 99 mph ched.

Said it a few times earlier this season - NEVER give up on a young pitcher with Ashby's K rate. (I know he won't be regarded as young much longer, but he won't be regarded as a disappointment much longer either.)
