That is unless today is the first day Jerry's RSN is paying for their TV announcers to travel outside of Chicago to broadcast games in person (Jason attended the Sunday night Milwaukee game as a fan).
August 9, 20214 yr Get well soon, Jason. We need the band back together on the jingle. Len seems to give Steve the yips. Edited August 9, 20214 yr by Bossanoveralls
August 9, 20214 yr No need for East Coast PBP man - Steve could fill in. Keep it in the Sox family and bring in Frank, Gordon, or Donn Pall.

August 10, 20214 yr Here's hoping Jason has a quick recovery. I had a breakthrough case and went through a speedrun of mild symptoms before feeling fine one week later.
August 10, 20214 yr Kudos for getting a professional broadcaster to fill in. Broadcast sounds great so far. All the best to Jason. Hoping he recovers soon and is back in the booth with Stoney. Edited August 10, 20214 yr by WhiteAnkleSox

That is unless today is the first day Jerry's RSN is paying for their TV announcers to travel outside of Chicago to broadcast games in person (Jason attended the Sunday night Milwaukee game as a fan). that would be my guess. Len/the radio guys are "allowed" to travel for road games while Jason and Stoney are not. So stupid - cutting costs under the guise of covid ... either way, likely the reason. That said, can we please get Hawk!!? Man, I'd love to hear him call Eloy's homers yesterday. Though - him calling from a studio may be awful ... the "wayyy back, he looks up you can put it on the .... wait .... yes .... no ..... board!!!! YES!! would be plentiful. he could barely tell in person anymore. Not sure he'd be very good calling a game from a TV. I'd have to think with all the switching in and out they've reached out on the idea.

August 10, 20214 yr What I love about Jason is that he brings the experience of having been a White Sox fan his entire life. Most PBP guys work for teams they had no connection to before getting hired.
August 10, 20214 yr Covid infections appear to have gained momentum in certain areas of the country, particularly among the un-vaccinated. I suspect several of the so-called "break-through" cases are bulsh1t.. Some might be the result of false positive tests, flu symptoms erroneously reported as break through covid nfections, or positive tests for the virus where there are few if any symptoms for the previously vaccinated. Benetti has to remain in quarantine for a while because a Covid outbreak is the last thing the sox need right now
August 10, 20214 yr Just now, tray said: I suspect several of the so-called "break-through" cases are bulsh1t.. I don't think the breakthrough cases are bullshit. I think they're real cases but they're extremely mild because the vaccine is very effective at preventing illness even when the virus gets through.

We’re all doomed.
