Ueck said during the signon that Edwards is having bypass surgery Wednesday.

Ah, geez. I was wondering why the voice sounded different on the radio tonight. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

 

Best wishes to Robb for a full recovery.

I was at the game tonight. I don't know who's voice it was but it sounded like someone I have heard before but nobody could put their finger on it. But he was good, at times he sounded a grown version of the kids they let announce, but that is ok because it was full of energy.

 

Wish nothing but the best and a speedy recovery to Mr. Edwards and his family.

[Principessa21]

Wow. Please get better Mr. Edwards.

[iluvlamp]

Aww man. Get better Robb! You are a great guy and a great PA announcer. You will get better.

I think the announcer tonight was Mueller from 620. At least that was the consensus in my section.

[olsonnet]

Yeah it was Mueller. He did fine except for at the beginning of the bottom of the 2nd. He said "leading off the 3rd for the Dodgers, Brad Penny", but then corrected the inning, team and player (Penny would lead off the next inning). Not as much energy as Edwards, and obviously he wasn't used to a lot of the between-innings stuff that Edwards could do without thinking about it.

Heard this during tonight's telecast. I hope Edwards recovers soon; his dulcet tones fit the Brew Crew and Miller Park

I was wondering why Mueller was doing the PA. Best wishes to Robb and his family, and hope to see him back at the park soon!

[TooLiveBrew]

Get better asap Robb!

i miss bob betts. hoping for a speedy recovery robb!

[Mike2k33]

I too miss Mr. Betts. He had a one of a kind voice.

 

Robb is a great PA announcer and a good guy to boot. I hope everything goes well for him and hopefully he can get back to Miller Park as soon as possible.

Robb Edwards was back behind the mic Monday night, just under three weeks after his heart attack and bypass surgery. Nice surprise, but wow.

[stoops17]

It was very nice to hear his voice again last night. What a speedy recovery.

[BCZF]

The miracle of modern heart surgery..

 

I'm glad he's back, because I thought Gene Mueller was just plain awful..

 

I agree though, Betts was the pa voice of the Brewers for me..

[TooLiveBrew]

Great news! Congratulations (is that the right word?) Robb, and welcome back!
