MiddleCoastBias Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I watched Chuck and Jason "call" simulated games of MLB the Show on YouTube for weeks so whatever, I'm ready for the wacky. Now can they digitally remove Joe Buck from broadcasts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Depends how they do it.... for example, If every person behind home plate is a virtual George Jacobs in his M&M jacket then I'm fine with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gusguyman Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I'm willing to give it a try, and I could see liking it once I got used to it. Plus it will be hilarious to watch the tech gore highlights of broadcasts where things bug and the fans are all suddenly upside down or flickering 20 times a second or whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've decide my viewpoint is I like it for the sides/outfield, will not like it in the scout seats behind the batter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm concerned it will make it harder to pick up the ball as it goes towards or leaves home plate, I don't think the ball stands out as much against the virtual background as the natural fans.

"Go to Wrigley" whenever people started the wave. For a couple years my dad had tickets in the Nancy Faust section, any attempt would be stopped dead in its tracks once it swung around there. The entire section would froth in anger in the face of such an indignity being imposed upon their beloved ballpark, and all the bottled up vitriol that comes with modern life would be unleashed upon the transgressors. Never had a better time at the ballpark than sitting in that section. Had to have been the best fans in all of baseball, a bunch of absolute nuts, and the view was incredible. Upper deck and had a better view than 90% of seats in the lower deck today. I'd rather watch at home than sit in the upper deck at today's ballparks. Man, what a place. I still dream of it.

supernuke Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I would prefer each Park installing cardboard cutout fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of those old radio broadcasts of away games in the early 1950's. WCFL, IIRC. Broadcasters did not travel with the team, and the studio guy read the results of each pitch from a teletype or whatever, with fake noise. Announcer's name was Bob Finnegan, I believe. Don't ask me how I remember stuff like that. Bob Elson did the home games, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
