I cannot remember how many games he did. I remember Dan Petry and Austin Jackson helped fill in some, and I think there might have been a handful of games that Dan Dickerson was solo.

1776 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Don’t recall if he traveled any or not. I do remember AJax and Petry filling in. I like both of those guys working with Dan. I just wondered with Jim’s issues in the past if he would just do home games going forward. He’s been strong out of the gate to date which is good.

lordstanley Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 The Blue Jays are not even sending their radio crew on road trips this season. Not sure whether due to Covid (Ontario may be last jurisdiction in North America still obsessed) or just being cheapos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordstanley Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Jim Price is 76. Paul Carey stopped Tigers broadcasting when he was 63, Al Kaline when 68 and George Kell when 74. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine it makes sense for Jim Palmer, who is 74, but seems like the others could handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1776 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Duane Kuiper announced he is retiring from traveling but will still join Krukow in the studio for games and remain active otherwise. Kuiper lost his wife unexpectadly a month or so back and the cause of her death hasn’t been reported. Kuiper is 71 as I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because they are cheap, and Rogers has this stupid idea that listening to the TV guys on the radio is the same as listening to the radio guys. The outcome will be that Buck Martinez the super-annoying TV guy will talk even more, if that's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoBert Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Jim Price was only 22 when I saw the 5th game of the ‘68 World Series with my dad when I was 16. I thought he had to be older than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If fact I think Kell and Harwell may even have worked together on some of those, but if nothing else, I think replay has made simulcasting pretty unworkable. You can't show replays on the radio and you can't not use replay on the telecast so that alone make trying to do both simultaneously pretty impossible. Even if I know Dickerson is looking at a monitor to give me details of the last play, that's still very different from him doing the correct narration of a clip for a viewer who can see it.

I don't think a simulcast would be that impossible. I may need to pay more attention to that the next time I watch a Walleye or Mud Hens game. Both have home games simulcast on TV & radio. I'll rather than listen, so that might not be the same experience, but I've never really considered whether the radio side is getting a poor broadcast at the expense of the TV broadcast.

1776 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) I remember when Sterling was with TBS in Atlanta and teamed with Skip Carey, Ernie Johnson, and Pete van Wieren. Hard to believe John Sterling is the only surviving member of that crew. Edited April 15, 2022 by 1776 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
