Georgie56 3176 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 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.

WCAUTVNBC10 410 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrschimpf 2184 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Bally just going with the 'we have until April' mode of where to put the pitch clock (this is on the Brewers broadcast). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5420 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrschimpf 2184 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 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 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 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightynine 287 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 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 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 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
