  1. Yeah this was my issue, I had assumed the same thing. The Pirates announcers did what they always do for every ST game (interviews and what not) and really didn't act at all like this was any kind of special event - as has been noted, most of the guys barely got their names mentioned, if at all. Just another ST game. The way MLB has promoted the hell out of this series, I was expecting a lot more. Put another way, after that experience, I'm not going to bother watching the rest of these games the next few days, and I had planned to check most of them out. Hopefully MLB gets the broadcasting part of this together in the future, because the idea overall is a really good and fun one.
  2. I’m out. This series is a great idea but this broadcast absolutely ruined the viewing experience.
  3. JFC this echo is really something. This is like watching a train wreck on TV. Can’t look away.
  4. Yes Valdez pinch ran. Ironically the announcer actually managed to announce that LOL. Must be a special DH rule in ST games I guess.
  5. OMG this echo on the interview might end it with me. These guys make MASN look like an Emmy award winning broadcast.
  6. I will say I’m impressed by Termarr Johnson all around. Definitely going to be a good hitter and seems like a really mature kid.
  7. I blame MASN for not telecasting this one and forcing this Pitt broadcast on me.
  8. Very nice bounce back inning there for Cade. Based on what I’ve read about him, it seems we’ve gotten the full Cade Povich experience tonight. He has the goods if he’s able to put it together for a long string of time.
  9. The Skenes ejaculate all over the booth is probably making it harder for these guys in fairness.
  10. These broadcasters are something. Apparently that was Cade Pavlich pitching for the Os. Really thought we’d get the full MLBN treatment. At least Harold Reynolds level if not Bob Costas. This is …………not that.
  11. Is everybody stuck with the Pittsburgh feed? These clowns are treating it like a regular ST game. Not even mentioning half these guys names. Lame. I was expecting something with a little more national feel.
  12. There have been multiple quotes from Hyde this spring about how impressed he's been w/ Baumann. Absent a complete meltdown or physical issue these next couple weeks, he's going to pitch significant leverage innings to start the season, I have no doubt.
  13. I have been worried they would sign Snell to pair w/ Cole. Signing Snell to replace Cole is much less intimidating...also, this injury doesn't change the fact that any contract they sign Snell to is nearly doubled by the luxury tax implications, which I believe is the reason he isn't already a Yankee anyway (that, and maybe he wants to stay on the WC? Why else would he prefer the Angels of all teams?)
  14. I had similar thought. Santander, who's future with the team is also questionable given contract status, was also name dropped. Of course other players can and will replace them as role model types for these kids in the future, but you do wonder how much of a factor that kind of stuff is. I don't think its a ton, but I also don't think its zero.
  15. There are going to be some serious slugfests in the AL East this year. Goodness these lineups are so stacked.
