MASN broadcasters on the road again!

[MurphDogg]

Our long national nightmare is over!

I tended to keep the broadcast muted because the delay messed with the flow of the game. I wanted to know what was happening, I didn't need to be told what I just saw.

Well, good.   I guess they got shamed into it.

Excellent shaming job everyone!

One more step towards games feeling like normal baseball.

I feel sorry for this guy to have to spin it two days ago but that is his job.Did the science change in two days to let them travel again? No.

 

Todd Webster, a MASN spokesperson, issued a statement to my colleague Ben Strauss that said: “The global pandemic required all of us to learn new lessons in innovation, resourcefulness, and resilience. MASN is carrying forward some of those lessons.”

I wonder if the SF Giants are also going to let their announcers travel?

They also got a ton of complaints and were looking into it.

Anything about the radio broadcast?

Nevermind,.Weird that no travel for the radio announcers, even though some of them do both radio and tv I guess traveling for radio causes more Covid cases

Not sure.I guess depends on the RSN and what controlling rights the Giants have .

They can live with the radio broadcasters who need to be more descriptive than TV callling games off monitors. 
 

Why? Because other than the quality of the broadcast being impacted there is no visual where you are behind on the action. 
 

Still a joke. It’s all about saving money. The more they try to hide that the worse they look.

Speaking of broadcasters.This is a pretty good interview with Kevin Brown. Why he moved to Baltimore full time,remote broadcasts,etc.

I'm getting flashbacks to the scene in Bull Durham (I think) where the minor league radio broadcaster is getting wire updates on the road games and making up his own story and sound effects to go along with it.

Of all the big nothingburgers we've had around here, this is a double patty with cheese and bacon on it, IMO.
