      I don't get ESPN's fascination with Steve Phillips. He brings absolutely nothing to the conversations on BBTN or any of the Games where he sits in as the third wheel. I do love he and John Kruk go at it though. I remember a BBTN trade deadline show a couple of years ago when Phillips said something stupid to the effect of "i'ts not always about winning" when talking about teams making trades at the deadline and Kruk just went off on him. I also like when after Phillips drops some of his usual pearls of wisdom Kruk reminds him "this is why you're sitting here with us and not running a team".

      Seriously though, Phillips is a joke.

        This is saddening news. I've never really minded Jon Miller, but Morgan and now Phillips will make me hate these broadcasts.

          The firing of Jon Miller is the sole reason why the O's have been cursed or horrid for the last 11 years.

            Yeah, the team itself had nothing to do with it.

              How are you guys not surprised? They are the horrible network that made Tony Kornheiser a household grievance on Monday Night Football.

                    The thing I like about Phillips is he is the only person that works for ESPN that has respect for the Braves. An *** load of beatdowns will do that to a man.

                    So I respect Phillips on that front. Kruk and the rest of those fools on ESPN can go suck on a egg for all I care (expect Peter Gammons).

                      This is disappointing. Miller does a great job with the Giants broadcast.

                      ESPN should have guest announcers for a month at a time. That way we could get Vin Scully and Miller. That would be a cool conversation. Although Vinny still does games by himself - he's the best, imo.

                        I love listening to Vin. One of the best ever.

                        I'm gonna really miss listening to Skip and Pete on the Braves games.

                          Since Vin only basically does home games and a select amount of road games the only way ESPN could get him now would be to televise west coast games, which they rarely do any more.

                          I am interested to see who MLBNetwork will use for their weekly game. I have to imagine that Matt Vasgersian will be the play-by-play man but i wonder who else will be in the booth (Reynolds?, Leiter?, Magrane?, someone else?)

                            I don't know. When I read the piece about Vasgersian being hired by MLB Network it said he was being hired as the main in studio host of Hot Stove and MLB Live.

                                It is going to be difficult to watch Sunday Night Baseball this year...
