I long for the days of the "baseball interview" pie-in-the-face. 😂
▶️ Mike Maddux interviewed by Ron Futrell- Pie in face, early 1990's

I heard someone say today, “If you’re a 40 year old guy in the upper deck of a baseball game holding a glove, you look like an idiot. ‘Sit down, asshole. Have a dog and a beer, and let the kids chase the foul balls.’”

@crash Yes, the scorebug not correctly representing the runners on base is another pet peeve of mine. We were wondering if somebody is multi-tasking the updates with other telecast duties. But this is definitely something that should be a priority.
And I agree that the on-air talent should be women. Representation matters both on and off the field. Surely as well connected as Justine Seigel, Rocky Henley, and the rest of the crew are, they should be able to network and find some decent play-by-play at the college or minor league level. At worst hold open try-outs like they did for the players!

We love the new league! The games are exciting and the players are talented, engaging, and joyful. It's been wonderful getting to know them through the games and social media and starting to follow their stories.
But the telecast is doing the league, players, and fans a grave disservice. With all of the games being played in Springfield, the telecast is your primary channel for growing the fanbase for your new league. And frankly, it's becoming unlistenable. We've had to start muting the sound when watching the game, but I wonder how many casual viewers are simply electing to watch something else?
Clearly finding the right play-by-play combo has been a struggle. But at the moment the telecast is Ms Beccera and Ms Andrews jibber-jabbering about almost anything but what is occurring on the field. The play-by-play is vital for casual fans who are multi-tasking while watching the game. The announcer's delivery--pacing, tone, excitement--are critical for pulling watchers back to the game at important moments. Beccera and Andrews are a monotone mush of trivia, with occasional calls about the game action roughly around the time the replay is running.
Andrews may be a gold glove outfielder (as we are reminded constantly on the broadcasts), but she is a sub-standard interviewer. She asks meandering, long-winded questions and doesn't appear to be particularly listening to the answer. She fails to follow-up appropriately with the subject's response. All too often the interviews seem to be about her, her outfits, and how charming she tries to be.
We're hoping that the new league succeeds for these talented, hard-working women and the young girls watching hungrily from the stands and on the telecast. Finding on-air talent that matches the talent on the field is the least they and all of us deserve.
Wishing you and all the players the best!

During yesterday's #baseball game between the Fukuoka Softbank and Tohoku Rakuten Eagles they celebrated Mario's 40th anniversary. Not only did the man himself throw the first pitch, but they also replaced the plain white, boring bases with coin-block-inspired ones!
Never change, #Japan.

The prospects of triggering an extra "ghost" win, which could make a league champion's path to the Japan Series a little clearer than usual, is adding intrigue to NPB clubs' jockey for playoff positions. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/08/17/baseball/japanese-baseball/npb-ghost-wins-playoffs/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #baseball #japanesebaseball #fukuokasoftbankhawks #hanshintigers

It should have been called Frank Jobe elbow surgery.
