Philip Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 This is a walk off home run call by someone who must be the As announcer? Hello, I dunno…just listen. Your life will be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s ok as the middle innings “around the league update” voice, but she’s objectively terrible at PBP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I’m in the minority here, but the Melanie hate in this board is weird and over-the-top I certainly don't hate Melanie. But I do think she's sub-par as a play by play announcer for a major league team with a rich history of excellent play by play voices.

Someone on the yankees feed said it was fake, although they didn’t go into detail, I don’t know whether it’s fake or not but it’s hilarious nonetheless. edit: ha! It says right below the video that it’s AI generated, so it is fake, but it’s still hilarious, and it is quite similar to Melanie, who is not fake, but probably doesn’t like the comparison Edited Saturday at 02:24 by Philip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frobby Posted Tuesday at 04:52 Share Posted Tuesday at 04:52 The A’s do have a female PBP announcer, IIRC. I wonder if this was meant to diss her. I I have no idea what she sounds like or if she’s any good. https://www.npr.org/2024/02/14/1231317599/oakland-athletics-woman-announcer#:~:text=Hourly News-,The Oakland Athletics hire the first woman play-by-play,years and has five Emmys.

Tony-OH Posted Tuesday at 13:19 Share Posted Tuesday at 13:19 This is an AI generated fake. Of course no professional would be this bad nor would a baseball fan call a home run a 4-base hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming whoever put it together doesn’t like the A’s announcer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted Tuesday at 15:46 Author Share Posted Tuesday at 15:46 When I originally posted it, I hadn’t read the caveat at the bottom, and initially thought it was genuine. Once I realized it was fake, it became a bigger indictment of Newman, who really isn’t much different from this, especially the first but…”and it’s hit to left field, no, I mean right field…” I have nothing against Newman, BTW, but her announcing is awful and I wish she’d do something for which she is better suited. And FWIW, I think “four base hit” is actually kind of cute. Maybe we could do a tie in with Wendy’s. ”And there’s a SINGLE…with CHEESE.” Im kinda surprised Brown hasn’t tried that one already.
