Part of what I miss about the near-daily experience of following the Nats is the radio team of <strong>Charlie Slowes<\/strong> and <strong>Dave Jageler<\/strong>. Last Wednesday, I was quite grateful to have them as I got stuck working late before driving up to Pennsylvania. I wonder if it was the last time that the two will be paired together in the radio booth.<\/p>\n<p>Back in August, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/blogs\/nationals-journal\/post\/masn-does-not-exercise-bob-carpenters-option-decision-said-to-be-collaborative\/2011\/08\/02\/gIQAaPhbpI_blog.html\">it was reported that TV play-by-play man Bob Carpenter would not have his option picked up for 2012<\/a> (Nationals Journal, <em>The Post<\/em>). Following that report, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yurasko.net\/wfy\/2011\/08\/day-baseball-nats-try-to-take-cubs-series-at-220-harry-kalas-son-on-nats-radio.html\">Carpenter missed several games and Jageler filled in for him<\/a>. My immediate thought was this was essentially an TV audition for Jageler. While Jageler would be an upgrade over Carpenter, I would really miss him on the radio &#8212; he&#8217;s an excellent straight man for Slowes. As for Carpenter, I&#8217;m kind of ambivalent about him and he has some detractors. I like his new home run call &#8212; &#8220;there it goes!&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yurasko.net\/wfy\/2007\/09\/nats-fail-kasten-speaks-but-does-he-say-anything-carpenter-out.html\">Carpenter also did not have his option picked up at the end of 2007<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yurasko.net\/wfy\/2007\/11\/carpenter-coming-back-zimmerman-surgery-and-more.html\">only to be picked up later<\/a>. My gut feeling is that isn&#8217;t going to happen again. You have to think that Jageler would be a very strong candidate for the TV play-by-play job. I wonder if <strong>Todd Kalas<\/strong>, who filled in for Jageler and was a colleague of Slowes from their Tampa Bay Devils Rays days would be a candidate.<\/p>\n<p>I just though I would put this speculation out there, maybe somebody knows more about the situation and can enlighten us.<\/p>\n<p>Also,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/blogs\/dc-sports-bog\/post\/fp-santangelo-on-his-first-year-with-masn\/2011\/10\/03\/gIQAJSr6HL_blog.html\"> F.P. Santangelo got profiled by DC Sports Bog yesterday.<\/a> I think he improved over the season, but couldn&#8217;t point to specifics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2011 Washington Nationals season is over and I miss it.
