Have listened to the TVA broadcast with Brulotte and Doucet. It just feels like it did in the early 2000s, the way Doucet calls the game, it's so laid back.
What was of greater interest were their guests from inning to inning, which included Bronfman, Arsenault (Marlins) Larry Walker and El Presidente. Dennis Martinez said that he is very close to certain key individuals in MLB and he's hearing that a team is coming to Montreal and it's close. I hope he's right.
What I enjoyed about the broadcast were the exchanges with the guests. They purposely delayed calling the plays or not call them at all when there was more minor stuff in favor of getting an Expos-focused perspective. They mentioned how Vlad Guerrero Jr. will be on the DL til May 15th. And how there are 4 players on the Jays who are the sons of former major leaguers -- Bichette, Biggio, Guerrero Jr. and Clemens.
Also, an Expos connection in the Brewers's lineup -- had not realized that Travis Shaw is the son of one-time Expos reliever, Jeff Shaw.
The worst part of the broadcast has to be Derek Aucoin whose wooden tongue is only outmatched by his incessant cliches.
It just feels like summer is coming when you take in a ballgame. Yeah, summer is coming to Toronto. Our baseball summers will have to wait.
