hogan873 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Finally. It has to be tough to call a game by watching a monitor. The Yankees announcer called a HR on a replay because they were watching a monitor and didn't realize it was a replay. And we've seen enough times where Jason was fooled by a fly ball, not knowing how far it was hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossanoveralls Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 This will be good for Jason. Everything looks like a home run in the studio even more than live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan isn't much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyJenkins Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I have grown accustomed to a can of corn being called like a division clinching home run...but glad for them. Steve can get even more sarcastic with jet lag again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiddleCoastBias Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I see a couple folks saying Jason needs it, but I've got to commend the two of them for just how well they've called the games just looking at monitors for half the season. It's really felt seamless where it feels more like that they're at the game and it's only some moments that stand out and break that illusion where I remember that they aren't there (most notably those games where there's a delay in one person's feed so they end up talking over each other). They've done better than I could've imagined, given the constraints. With that said, I'm sure they're even happier than us that they get to travel and call the games first-hand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he’s only been doing this traveling thing for over 50 years now as both player and broadcaster. Totally not his thing. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOFHurt35 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 The fact this has taken this long is so senseless. Unless broadcaster and TV personnel have refused vaccines, there is no reason why they should not have been traveling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 It's solely about the $. Jason Benetti called the RSNs including Jerry Reinsdorf's Regional Sports Network as "hot garbage" . Jason also said the network bitched at him for "not adapting well" and wanted Steve and Jason to announce the games in the NBC Studios in separate rooms.

greg775 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Why they kept the announcers at home is an outrage. Nobody's been concerned about covid for weeks. Typical baseball paying players exorbitant salaries and nickle and diming other departments. Outrageous. Glad they will be on the road.

Explains Jason Benetti's anger earlier in the week. Can see Jason telling Jerry to stick his cheap ass garbage television station up his ass like Harry Caray did if this continues. Quote “I won’t rule out travel for road games in the future, but we will not do so for the Milwaukee series,” NBCU Local Chicago president and general manager Kevin Cross wrote in an email.

greg775 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Wow. Benetti really exploded on that podcast. Good for him. It's simply ridiculous to not let he and Stone travel on the road. How the hell are you supposed to broadcast a game watching it on TV in Chicago? Awful decision. Cmon. Compared to player contracts these announcers' pay mean nothing to the bottom line. I bet Stone refuses to do this next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snopek Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 The "they're not great" comment feels really out of character for Stone. I read all of his tweets in his voice and when I got to that part my brain didn't know what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
