August 19, 200422 yr you have to understand they were doin this off the top of their head... i know we know all the players but this highlight must have just come in watch "behind sportscenter" next week and you will understand
August 19, 200422 yr Ramp, There is no excuse to do that. They watch the games all night and at least one person watches this game to tape it and should have written down the names. They do the same thing repeatedly.
August 19, 200422 yr Yeah, there were no intros, it led off. That was all improvised. We led off SC. Awesome.
August 19, 200422 yr Author i already know how it works i watched their 25,000 show. they always mess the marlins up!!! lowells single where he was called luis castillo, i mean they do get to see a screen, and i dont know any white guys named luis!

August 19, 200422 yr you have to understand they were doin this off the top of their head... i know we know all the players but this highlight must have just come in watch "behind sportscenter" next week and you will understand 518237[/snapback] This is national TV and they are supposed to be professionals, there is no excuse for it. If they don't have some sort of system or protocol in place to deal with highlights which have JUST came in, it's their fault for not having one in the first place and having to rely on doing it off the top of their heads. Also, BBTN and SportsCenter highlights are the same and BBTN got it right, so again, there's no excuse for not being able to get their names right. Once is fine, twice is OKAY, but it seems that EVERY SINGLE NIGHT they mess up the names at at least one Marlins player and this has been going on for a long time now.
August 19, 200422 yr you have to understand they were doin this off the top of their head... i know we know all the players but this highlight must have just come in watch "behind sportscenter" next week and you will understand 518237[/snapback] ramp is absolutely right. and you cant expect them to know it perfectly, even though they are sportscasters.. all these highlights, especially off games just completed are done on the fly, its amazing enough that they can complete real sentences.
August 19, 200422 yr you know damn well they got that clip about 8 seconds before SC started it aint that easy
August 19, 200422 yr It will be fine for the final SC that they show 284957943857843 times so just watch that one
August 19, 200422 yr If a news anchor is expected to get everything right even without a teleprompter or info from the IFB, then what excuse does a sportscaster (all he does is give sportscasts) confuse well known and long-standing players on the defending World Champion of the sport their network covers the most?
August 19, 200422 yr sorry everyone isnt perfect like you Cape 518302[/snapback] But they do it every night, that is called bad facts, stats, producing, and an inability by the sportscaster to think on his feet.
August 19, 200422 yr Stuff like this and ESPN's inability to escape from the trap of overusing drama is why I don't watch ESPN anymore. MLB would be better served by being on Bravo/USA/TBS/TNT and moving BBTN to the rumored Baseball Channel the owners wish to start.
August 19, 200422 yr who cares atleast we led of SC just wait a couple of minutes and watch it on ESPNews
August 19, 200422 yr Author No they didn't get the clip 8 seconds before. If baseball tonight had plenty of time to cover it, then sportscenter had the clip in plenty of time. They mess up on us way too often. I mean, if you are going to make something a breaking story and lead off your broadcast with it, getting everyone excited in the process, then give us the right information.
August 19, 200422 yr Oh shut up, can you find anything more worthless to bitch about? Seriously man. 518303[/snapback] that is the grossest sig i've ever seen.. i like it.
August 19, 200422 yr I think they just read what some guy gives them.. I dont even know that they're watching the highlites.
August 19, 200422 yr it aint that easy Cape... watch the makin of SC so you will understand 518316[/snapback] BBTN and ESPNews got it right and they said it before SC.
