Georgie56 2974 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 With pitchers and catchers reporting this week and spring training about to get underway, this is the place to talk about broadcast-related aspects of the season. Melanie Newman and Katie Nolan aren’t coming back to Apple Friday Night Baseball this season. They’ll use the more traditional two-person booth with Wayne Randazzo and Dontrelle Willis being one of the teams. They’re still deciding on the second broadcast team.

Georgie56 2974 Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 The NBC Sports regionals and ESPN will incorporate the new pitch clock into their scorebugs this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCAUTVNBC10 407 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Here's a look at the modified NBC Sports baseball score bug. I'm assuming the pitch clock will go where the peacock is (with Spring Training production values limited NBC Sports Philadelphia is showing a camera shot of the clock in a separate box). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrschimpf 1864 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Bally just going with the 'we have until April' mode of where to put the pitch clock (this is on the Brewers broadcast). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5126 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I'm not doing a screenshot, but the Cubs' Marquee is continuing with last year's scoreboard, with the clock alternating with the pitch count on the tab with the pitcher's name. Nice and simple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrschimpf 1864 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 ESPN's version of the pitch clock; a little more naturally integrated into the box and it slides in and out (though since it's the first game they've done it's taken the producer a bit to remember 'oh yeah, pitch clock graphic, shoot!' and slide it in). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a quick update for in-season that the pitch clock is now within the pitch count/pitch type box more naturally on this one (and also generated in Helvetica). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Brendan doing Isles or TNT NHL broadcasts. We'll see how well he does on MLB broadcasts, as he's also the heir apparent for John Sterling. I thought Bennetti was a freelancer, kind of like how Kenny Albert is on multiple networks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie56 2974 Posted May 31 Author Share Posted May 31 The Padres began their post-Bally era tonight. Standard MLBN graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynine 250 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 The surrounding animations around the standard MLBN graphics set for the Padres sure seem pretty easy to adapt for any other team. Guessing MLB made a quick and dirty set to have ready and perhaps something a bit more bespoke would be rolled out next season. Maybe with a full-on MLBN revamp that’s needed, IMO. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, MLB clearly had well-founded contingency plans for this scenario, and it’s impressive that they were able to put something that polished on the air in such a short time. Honestly, even if the Padres find a permanent OTA/cable partner, I could see MLB continuing to produce the games. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible what they were able to accomplish with such short notice, and that they were already planning this contingency earlier in the year. What might have seemed like wasted redundancy then surely paid off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
