Will The MLB Suspend The 2020 season

[Bellhorn04]

No but we did learn Damon could run all the way to New York

 

There is some irony in that statement.

[Jasonbay44]

Oh man you and me both!!

 

I can’t watch that colts game. But I’m a colts fan lol. That game still haunts me to this day ugh. Little did I know, one year later they would win it all!

 

I might try and find some old Sox games especially their 04 run and watch them. Apparently YouTube has a ton. Wow

 

Yeah I'm the same way with the Steelers/Packers super bowl. I have still never gone back and rewatched it and really don't want too lol. But yeah, there is a surprisingly huge amount of old games on Youtube. I guess the one good thing about this is its given me time to rewatch old games and catch up on TV/Movies I never had a chance to watch.. I'm actually really excited UFC Fights are happening Saturday night. About time we have a live sport to watch lol.

The ESPN announcers will spend most of the time talking about anything but the game.

 

So, I have watched two games so far. You are right, the announcers spend a lot of time talking about things other than what's happening in the game. Most of it is baseball related, with guests 'in the booth' talking about what it's like to play in the KBO. It's strange that they keep the image of the announcers and guests on the right side of the screen while the game is going on, kind of like a Zoom meeting. It's been difficult to focus on the game itself.

ESPN's production has sucked forever. People blamed it on Jessica Mendoza, but it wasn't her fault at all.

You are right. Mendoza had no business in the booth. She was a symptom of incompetent management's approach to broadcasting baseball.

Not her fault, but she didn't help the situation either.

[mvp 78]

Jessica Mendoza was fine. She was better than Joe Morgan at the very least.

 

The worst sports "broadcaster" all time was Dennis Miller. Yuck!

[Elktonnick]

Quite frankly none of the recent ESPN baseball announcers and analysts are any good. I hate to say it but A-Rpd was the best of a very bad lot and he wasn't very good.

Personally, I didn't have a problem with Joe Morgan.

ARod had some good insights or information to share every now and then. That said, I have a hard time even looking at him.

Or, if you prefer other literary devices, foreshadowing...

Miller was worse than Limbaugh?

 

Miller, who once said "Easy to believe the league leader in fumbles was a guy named Griese". Try getting THAT out of Dan Dierdorf.

 

The best thing about Miller was he was generally quiet during good games, and when the game sucked, they let him go a little more...

Did Limbaugh ever do actual games? I thought he was just in studio for one week. I wouldn't call that a broadcaster.

Fair enough.

 

For me, Miller met my admittedly low expectations, and probably even exceeded them. I always expected more from a football lifer like Dierdorf, but he continually disappointed me with his ability to do nothing but point of the incredibly obvious...

Dierdorf was a dumbass who sounded like a dumbass. I actually hate guys like Fouts who are dumbasses that try to sound smart.

Yeah I'm the same way with the Steelers/Packers super bowl. I have still never gone back and rewatched it and really don't want too lol.

Ya me too man!! I’m pretty pumped it’s back. I have my black belt (got it 14 years ago) always thought about going back in Tae Kwon Do..... but I’m too fat now. I’ll just watch others on tv fight lol.

I'm still mad at y'all for the AFC Championship game that year. You couldn't let the Jets have just a little bit of fun?

Ugh poor guy I’m an oilers and sens fan. Life hasn’t been kind to me either in the hockey world.

Are you old enough to have seen the Oilers in the Gretzky years?

[a700hitter]

Are you old enough to have seen the Oilers in the Gretzky years?

I am, but I never saw Gretzky live at a game until he was with the Rangers. Even though he was at the end of his career, he was still something to see. His awareness on the ice was second to none. It was impossible to get a clean hit on the guy, even from the blindside. I saw two guys coming at him from opposite sides as he was digging the puck out from behind the net. It looked like they were about to make a Gretzky sandwich. At the last split second, he backed out with the puck and the 2 guys converging for the hit wiped each other out. It was like he had eyes in the back of his head.

All true.

There you go. There's always someone worse off than you are. LOL

I agree. Potential to be a Wild Card team this year if they stay healthy. Still think they are a WR short, but they did have a very good draft

Back to baseball on a baseball forum: Bradford reports today that the MLB is proposing a half season of play in MLB parks beginning July, three 10-team divisions, with seven playoff qualifiers from each. For the Sox to return to the postseason, they'd probably have to outperform Baltimore, Miami and who else -- the Jays or Phils? Any takers?

So a playoff tournament starting with 21 teams? Yikes. Sounds incredibly rinky-dink.
