Remember the BOYD!! call? That used to be kinda irritating. But I bet both of them upset the guy who just struck out even more...lol Quote

lordstanley Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Perfect game and no hitter gone, but at 59 pitches through 6 a complete game shutout is still in play for Skubal. Quote

I’m petty sure Jason has been primarily if not exclusively a TV guy for most of his career. It’s a different skillset and some never make the adjustment. I remember when ESPN Radio would let Chris Berman do “play-by-play” for at least one postseason series every year and be completely useless at it. Edited May 25 by guy incognito Quote

lordstanley Posted May 25 Posted May 25 9Ks and 72 pitches through 7, Skubal is nipping this losing streak in the bud. Quote

Any national broadcast is going to have flaws. Either you try to match up local guys like Roku and end up with this kind of stuff or you use dedicated crews like Fox/TBS/ESPN and have booths where the chemistry is okay but they never really know about any team in depth. Maybe they should just have each team’s regular TV crew call half of each national broadcast. But of course then you’d have fans pissed off at having to listen to “enemy” announcers for half the game. Quote

I remember when ESPN Radio would let Chris Berman do “play-by-play” for at least one postseason series every year and be completely useless at it. He does NFL and March Madness games on radio, and I'm pretty sure on his way up he did radio, but he probably hasn't done much radio in the pitch clock era. His meandering is entertaining, but causes him to lose track on the radio. Edited May 25 by Edman85 1 Quote
