As much as I despise not sending crews on the road last year in the regular season it doesn’t bother me for spring games. It would make sense to me to have the teams work together to provide more spring training games on TV.

I agree, would prefer MASN invest in their product at least some each year and add to their Orioles content for a growing fan base, as the competition window increases.

Tomorrow is the only MASN game this spring where the announcers will not be on-site. I'm not sure why they didn't just televise an additional home game instead of the road game tomorrow that will already be on MLB TV anyway.

I had to help my mother in law with something today and missed a chunk of the game. 
 

 

Saying I was better off is hard for me to say.   That said I was.

Who were the announcers and how bad was it?

Melanie Newman and Dave Johnson.  And, they weren’t on-site.   Basically, they just blabbed about whatever was on their minds the entire time.  Hardly any discussion of the lesser known players or their backgrounds.  No insight of anything going on this spring training. No graphics showing pitch velocity.  It was awful.

Dave Johnson went on an extended soliloquy about the joys of bunting, and it wasn’t the worst part of the broadcast

Melanie Newman and Dave Johnson should not work together. That was possibly the worst tv broadcast game I have ever watched. They give you nothing about the actual goings on of the game. No dead air…at all. They talked non-stop about so many trivial things, and even my 12 year old son was annoyed. We were at a tournament all day, and came home excited to watch the replay. Absolutely awful. I had to FF through much of it just to see the last two innings to see Westburg, Kjerstad and Cowser.

Melanie and Dave are the Nickleback of baseball broadcasters.

It was better than not getting to watch it at all.
