Jon Sciambi named CubsTV play by play

Recommended Posts

He was good on ESPN Sunday Night / Playoff Baseball radio broadcasts (with former Sox announcer Chris Singleton).

Is he going to skip Sunday Cubs games, or be limited to MLB Playoffs only, and skip Sunday night baseball?

An ESPN spokesman said Sciambi will have fewer MLB weeknight telecasts because of his Cubs deal, but his MLB work on ESPN Radio and college basketball duties will remain more or less the same. Sciambi has worked for ESPN since 2005 and became full-time with the media giant in 2010.

It appears the Cubs may also have let go of their dingbat color man. Mark was not afforded the same grace on the legal or commentary front as a certain person employed by a certain MLB team located ten miles south of Clark and Addison.

Never cared for him.

Heard a few of his interviews on the score this past year and sounded like a tool. When asked about White Sox this past year on the SCORE he kind of huh humed their success. 

Hope he enjoys calling games for 70 win teams for next 10 years!!

The Sox were a third place team in a crummy division with Jimmy Cordero as only pitcher other than Giolito who could get more than 10 outs in the playoffs. What was he supposed to say? Oh yeah, the obligatory "It's Ricky's fault."

Wouldn't get too cocky, since 2012, the Pittsburgh Pirates have won 77 more games than the White Sox, despite a much lower payroll. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

Because that's literally the only thing you can say about the 2020 Chicago White Sox

He had two DUI's and a history of misogynistic comments and behavior before the Cubs/Marquee hired him in the first place.  He was afforded the exact same grace as TLR.  He just sucked at his job.

What's the problem? I'd say it's totally warranted.
