MLB Sunday package still up in the air
- Thread starter CTListener
- Start date
I didn't watch today, but last week it was a mix of home and road (Chip Caray for the home-standing Cardinals, and Will Middlebrooks of the visiting Boston Red Sox), with dugout reports from Alexa Datt, who normally appears on the St. Louis telecasts.
Correction: it was the local radio announcer Dan Dickerson with Joe Morgan.
Pretty funny. It was definitely Dan Dickerson doing PBP.
Very entertaining game, too. Of course, baseball fans who watch any games other than their own teams' are rare. It would help if MLB were more betting-friendly, like the NFL and NBA, but the way baseball is played now -- with starting pitchers only sticking around for five or six innings and an unpredictable series of relievers taking care of the rest -- makes betting it a total crap shoot. With football and basketball, you know that the starters are going to be in there through most or all of the game, barring injuries.
True, sadly. I try to tune songs like that out, or at least ignore the messaging if I like their melodies.
They all sound alike ...
Ah, so the announcers for games carried on NBC Sports are different than when carried on Peacock? That's news to me.
He was talking about
You're right, I thought he was talking about NFL or NBA. But just the same; generally the same caliber announcers are used for network or streaming. That's why I wasn't following his complaint. That said; isn't the object to watch the game as if you were at the stadium? I guess if you found the announcers annoying, you could turn down the sound.
That's what I did with Dickerson. Such a homer.
10 a.m. games are commonplace in the minors. They draw busloads of kids, either from schools or summer camps.
As for the early start for MLB games, there's only one hour between 11:30 and 12:30, and 12:30 is the normal starting time for weekday afternoon games in several cities.(Those games used to be called "businessmen's specials," but that's considered sexist terminology now.) No reason to offer brunch or mimosas. Hot dogs, soda and beer go with baseball just fine at that time of day.
