New Network, New Tone for Schiffren in his second year (and first with a new network)

 

One of the comments at the end of the article was on point here...

Listening to his segment with Bruce Levine and Ryan McGuffey on “Inside the Clubhouse,” I have the feeling it’s not going to be the quickest of fixes. 

I heard that interview and have to agree with this JM. This tough-guy, I am from New York, need to prove people wrong nonsense really bothers me. Who the hell cares? You went to Dartmouth. What is that the toughest of the Ivy League Schools(?).

He comes off to me as thin-skinned, petty and not very good at his job and that interview on the Score only reinforced that to me.

His disingenuous attempts to explain his performance and actions last year as caused by his being overly competitive and wanting to prove people wrong, makes no sense. You are a professional MLB play by play announcer.  (Like GM's, it's just one of 30 such jobs in the world.)  No need to prove anyone wrong. Just do better.

 

I guess one of the other things that he did that annoyed a lot of players and front office people (probably because he felt isolated from Stone and Brooks Boyer)...was hanging around the players too much, getting too close to be objective with some of them (like Pham), trying too hard to be the "cool kid" and showing off that he wasn't Benetti but maybe pitching himself as the polar opposite in numerous ways.
