I still don't mind Pinder but do think they have a bit of a balance issue on the station as a whole right now.
Boomer, Warrener, and Pinder worked because they balanced each other out. Pinders more serious analytics focused view point was balanced by Rhett being more the traditionalist and Boomer facilitated the discussion and kept it light by being a bit goofy.
Now with Pinder gone the balance is lost on the morning and now it's a bit too goofy at times. Klein is getting better at filing the "serious" role but think it will take a little time, and in the last couple weeks Boomer has reigned himself in a bit more too to try and be a bit more serious now with Pinder gone so that's helped.
The problem with the afternoon show has always been a lack of balance in the other direction. Kerr and Steinberg always took themselves a bit too serious for my liking and didn't really have a more relaxed foil to balance the show.
Now with Pinder and Steinberg it's even more prevalent because they are both analytics guys that focus on that part of the game and take it very seriously, and they just don't really have that balance. Will tries to be the foil but due to his more abrasive style it tends to end up just being bickering most of the time.
