MASN complaints/venting

[AceKing]

A few things bothered me about yesterday’s opening spring broadcast:

 

I got frustrated with MASN showing last year’s stats or every pitcher.  They should just leave that out.  It is almost irrelevant for many reasons.

 

When they were interviewing Mike Elias, it was rather insightful hearing ME speak....but when they asked him his draft formula, and Elias was REALLY getting into the weeds with his draft strategy, they cut him off for some random play, and they didn’t let him finish his thought, and then moved on to a different silly question.   I would love to have heard his thoughts and plans for 1:1 which is where he was going.

 

They need to cut the ties from last year with their stats and just let these guys move on with a clean slate.

Showing last years stats  should only be used as a measuring guide as to IMPROVEMENT and COMPARISON.  That is all.

You could have had a drinking game centered around how many times Jim Hunter excitedly informed us how much the players have raved about camp and Hyde and Elias and everything else Oriole.  It's going to be exciting!!!!  Everything is awesome!

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with showing last year’s stats during the first ST game...

As if showing last years stats on the broadcast is not something that every baseball broadcast in the history of baseball broadcasts has done.

I have no problem with it.    If you don’t think they’re relevant, ignore them.    To me, they’re a benchmark against which to measure improvement.    They’ll probably still be showing them on Opening Day.

I was so happy to see O's baseball I didn't even notice last years stats.

Also, not every viewer is an obsessive OH poster who knows how all the players performed last season.

The only thing that frustrates me is being forced to hear Jim Hunter.

Ben Mcdonald was awesome though.  I can't wait to have him and Thorne do a game together.

Ben McDonald is awesome and should be heir to the throne when Jim Palmer decides to retire from commentating.

That said, I hope to enjoy the tandem of Palmer-Thorne as long as possible.

I’m more frustrated that I can’t stream on my tablet or phone than I am About last years stats being shown.
