What's up with the sarcasm? I don't go to every home game; maybe she was just having an off day. Maybe the previous guy would have missed it, too. But you would want the MASN broadcast to tell you that there was a pinch runner and the Orioles' best hitter was out of the game, why shouldn't the people who paid money to be there be just as informed?

Maybe I think you are demanding too much of her, and being overly critical.

BTW, I thought she was the PA announcer and not the MASN broadcast person.

I do find it amusing that when you call the Orioles, Wagner’s voice is still used to answer the call.

It's demanding too much to want her to announce a substitution? That's one of her (not that many) responsibilities. Why is she there otherwise?

I am not sure that PA announcers typically announce pinch runners.  I need to pay more attention.   Pinch hitters, yes.

I am not trying to be rude or anything but I have been to a handful of games this year and you can barely here the PA announcer.  The entire game is just very monotone. Again not trying to be rude but is this the best we have!?

I haven’t had that problem.   I was there last night and heard her just fine.

We moved all around the stadium last night (lower level).  With the walk up music her voice was just drowned out.  Each batter it was the same.

I one point they were still using commercials on I think both 105.7 the fan and MASN that had Jim Hunters and Gary Thornes voice.

I was at game last night. There is a major speaker issue in parts of the park. It’s embarrassingly bad.

I have a friend who until very recently still had his ex-wife’s voice on his business voice mail message even though he’d been divorced for maybe 15 years.

I take it he hasn’t found anyone else.

He’s actually remarried.   Just never bothered changing the voice mail.   He finally did it recently, with his own voice, not his new wife’s.

Hmm. I got that one wrong.
