ESPN Manages to Make Its MLB Coverage Better and Worse With One Move
There’s only one thing the Worldwide Leader could’ve done to make its
Sunday Night Baseball
announcing duo of Joe Morgan and Jon Miller any more insufferable: Add studio analyst Eric Young to the crew. Good news: They didn’t do that. Bad news: They did the second worse thing by throwing Steve Phillips into the mix.↵↵Yep, starting this season, all three -- Miller, Morgan, Phillips -- will be forcing you to hide all sharp objects from yourself every Sunday evening. Upon receiving the news, Phillips had this to say to Michael Hiestand:↵
↵↵⇥“I honestly didn’t think I’d be able to make a career of this.”↵↵... And we honestly have no idea how you continue to. Really, the insights of a failed GM aren’t that valuable. Although his elevation to the Sunday night crew creates a studio opening for Baseball God Peter Gammons, who will be seen much more regularly on
Baseball Tonight
this season, instead of being relegated to sideline reporter. This is great news for those of us who dream of a day when
Baseball Tonight
’s format will be Karl Ravech, Peter Gammons and actual game highlights.↵
