Ya know, I’m really starting to ponder my career trajectory. At some point, I won’t be able to physically “answer the bell” 🔔 to work the number of games so as to keep a revenue stream flowing… and I am inept administratively, so that rules out assigning. 
So maybe I should consider polishing my “radio voice”, and go into broadcasting. 🤔 

My favorite part of the entire video is the product-placement shot of the DeltaFlex-by-UnderArmour mask harness… for skullcaps… worn with a hat. 

It ain’t a Wilson, the brand isn’t marked out, and that sure ain’t a skullcap he’s wearing! 🫨

Heh… :sarcasm:… is he getting “Bad look!” evaluation demerits?

but how about all the total vindictiveness hurled (cheap shot artists) by the announcers at the umpire till the 1:54 spot and beyond. totally 2 faced. and what about all those people who did not hang until 154 (potty time or snack time) and beyond.

It's 2 seperate crews. The later gave a fair assessment

Kudos to the Mets broadcasters. (credit where credit is due)

The Mets broadcast team is actually really, really good. Have a very solid (still not great) understanding of the rules while staying at least somewhat objective until they see every angle available to them. (this is a personal opinion however)

I agree. They are also one of the few crew that will say things like "I don't think I've never seen that. We're gonna have to look that up."

You realized the error, but I think this is still a great illustration of the real "homerism" of broadcast crews.  Willingly and blatantly blasting anything that goes against your team does far more damage to the culture of the game than just plain ignorance.

I love the catchers reaction. He is so apologetic and sorry for beaning the batter and his concern for his fellow player is the best thing about this video.  But yeah the call is correct too 🤣
