Who is in the box for the late game. Sounds terrible to me
 
ESPN with their liberal push to put a woman in the booth. I hope they read the Twitter trends and saw the **** she was getting. I hear it was poorly done.
 
not sexist in the least, but it was painful. I went to bed rather than listen to it. Sounded like a NCAA women's basketball game to me.
 
Agree with all of the above. I watched the first series and had to turn it off.
 
Can't believe that was rex ryan. Usually i enjoy his interviews and what not. The lady was just painful. I have nothing against a lady during play by play, but surely they could have found someone better
 
I couldn't even hear her. I thought I was the only one that thought it sucked. Hopefully they don't have anymore double features in store for this year.

She does lots of college football games.

ESPN also hired a female ex-softball player to be an analyst on their baseball broadcasts and if you don't think she's as good or as qualified as a former MLB player, then you're a sexist. In fact, the other day i heard somebody defending her on ESPN saying that when she's watching batting practice, MLB players ask her for hitting tips all the time.
 
Rex Ryan was the opposite of what you'd expect or like --- he was sedate and understated, no strong opinions. Pure vanilla Like he was being careful not to insult anyone and hurt his chances of getting back into the league. I really wish ESPN (and heck the league's other broadcast partners) would just focus on putting competent, knowledgeable and interesting people on air instead of always trying to do things "outside the box." Less is more. True professionals were denied opportunity because ESPN would rather insult viewers with that absurd shitshow that was the Broncos-Chargers broadcast.

I don't have a problem at all with female announcers or commentators. Just hire the females that really know what they are talking about like Suzy K. But this industry can't manage to put the right people on air whether male or female as evidenced by all the clowns with no business being on air: Deion, Michael Irvin, Heath Evans...

He favorite is to tell the MLB player to take it a little slow, don't just come onto the girl without saying hi and ask her how she is doing....... Another of her "tips" is be a gentleman and actually listen to what she has to say......



Or did you mean ACTUAL batting tips from a softball player ??, ADD about 30mph to the pitch.
