They had the video today. They could not get the audio to work from Baltimore. Rock was able to give some play by play but was breaking up most of the time. This should be their lesson, to loosen the purse strings and send the lowest paid announcing group on the road.

Just send Roch on the road as the road broadcast crew.

We have a young kid that we can build with in LF, CF, RF, 1B and soon to be catcher. I agree we are not bringing the young pitching up...yet.

I don't consider 27 "Young" by baseball standards.

But isn't the announcing crew really on the road when they are in Baltimore? I think only two of the announcers live in Baltimore year round. Are they kept locked in the broadcast booth for the entire baseball season and meals slipped under the door for safety reasons.

Also it is not a MASN decision but an Oriole decision since they can't send the radio crew either.WBAL is a Hearst company . The Nats can send their radio crew since it is a separate entity.

This gets one of those BS fact checker “lacking context” comments.  Guys like Mullins, Hays, Santander, Mateo, Urias and Gutierrez may not be young, but they are late bloomers still lacking in MLB experience.  I’d give it a pass even though I get your point.

I don't have cable, and MLB is living in the stone-age with their streaming blackout rules, so it doesn't affect me at all.  

I only care if the radio feed cuts out, because that's the only way I can follow the Orioles.

Ironically listening to Roch was pretty entertaining. It was almost a bummer to go back to normal broadcasters. But yeah they obviously risk this situation happening in regular season games. They made their bed and will have to lay in it. 

There's always the radio or the other teams' feed. MASN gonna MASN.

Maybe they can do the radio via  telegraph like in 1921,when the announcer was in the radio studio reading what was happening off of a wire report. Close to what the radio broadcast and TV are doing now in Birdland.

MASN shouldn't bear the expense of technical crews and cameras to record every little thing that happens, including boring non-events like batters stepping in and out of the box, mound conferences, pitching changes, waiting for video reviews, etc. Just put on the screen a board that shows each pitch and play. Big savings that can augment all those millions that ownership will spend next year, or in 2024, or . . . whenever.
