17 hours ago17 hr Not saying Connor is great but much better broadcast with his lower key approach.I notice how at times he and stoney would go silent and let pictures tell the story. I like that over the alternative.Thanks for your efforts schriffdawg, but I bid you adieu.
16 hours ago16 hr How about Matt Swierad? He has been the play by play for Charlotte for a long time. Give him a shot and he knows a lot of these younger guys.

16 hours ago16 hr Personally I'll like for Len to move to tv with the guarantee he gets to move to radio for the playoffs.

Guys fight through every baseball shithole in the US to get here. It's lack of imagination up top. After Jason, they wanted to make sure they got a guy who wasn't going to be too busy, so he could only be so good, or outwardly famous.

TV play-by-play is more of a multimedia hosting gig now, with all the graphics, dugout interviews, pre-taped roll-ins, musical highlight vignettes, etc. There's a production team that's calling the shots and deciding when all those elements appear and interrupt the live action. Some play-by-play guys prefer the "pure" aspect of the radio broadcast, where it's just them and their partner describing the action.

It's nice not to hear the PBP guy incessantly trying to sell me on how these are such a great bunch of guys and belting out forced taglines.

McKnight would not immediately jump to the best of the broadcasters in baseball...but after hearing Scriff's forced excitement/lack of understanding of baseball/lack of understanding about White Sox history...Connor is refreshing! He certainly benefits from NOT being Scriff! I actually enjoy hearing him do PXP although that might be due to the fact I don't have to listen to Scriff!

14 hours ago14 hr Just now, fathom said:Brooke as a sideline reporter is great…Yes...but definitely don't move her into the booth! That is something "cute" that Brooks would try...keep a former player up there with a good PXP person!

This walk to the mound is brought to you by.... This double play is brought to you by..... This description of the team's uniforms is brought to you by....
