December 4, 20205 yr This rules and it rules extra hard if it's an FU to the Ricketts. I know the article goes out of its way to say this isn't some rift with Marquee, but wanting to move to radio for the sake of moving to radio seems pretty hard to believe.
December 4, 20205 yr Weirdest news we could have expected but an awesome get for the Sox. Cubs fans in shambles lol

December 4, 20205 yr Benetti and Len Kasper are two of the best play by play guys in sports. We're lucky as fans to have them both calling games for the Sox. Wow.

I would bet in a few years, Benetti moves up in the world and Kasper takes the TV gig. Meanwhile, it’s a nice problem to have for now.
December 4, 20205 yr Real convenient time for Kasper to switch sides in this city. He sounds like a bandwagoner tbh

Benetti can be as good as he wants to be. If his goal is to become a Joe Buck or Al Michaels, it's going to happen. But my hope is that with him growing up a Sox fan and there being no sports alternative in the summer he's calling Sox games for many decades to come.
December 4, 20205 yr Good chance Kasper does a lot of TV in relief if Benetti continues his rise on the National stage.

December 4, 20205 yr Welcome Len! Big shoes to fill and RIP to Farmio but I do like this. Maybe a Quintana foreshadowing?
December 4, 20205 yr I find Len Kasper to be an insufferable listen. The tv voice of the team I hate the most now doing radio for my favorite team. The 2020 offseason keeps getting more wonderful day by day.
December 4, 20205 yr If Bennetti goes I will be so happy. The sooner he's out of here the better. Re: Kasper, I like him, but he's more the national type than the typical Chicago-style homer. On the radio I think he might work very well. I like the guy who does the PBP for the Charlotte Knights games. He would be an excellent replacement for Bennetti. Also I liked the guy who did some of the Sox ST games last year. I bet there are lots of good PBP guys in MiLB that can focus on the game of baseball properly. Bennetti is such a dork. And all his big calls suck. I'm not going to rant about this but seriously, if he has any aspirations of increasing his national time, great, go do it, good riddance, GTFO of here already.
