    Thought ESPN Sunday Night games couldn't get any worse?

    Think again.

    One of the longest-running acts in TV sports is getting a new cast member. ESPN will formally announce Wednesday that Steve Phillips will join Jon Miller and Joe Morgan, who’ve called ESPN’s Sunday night baseball for 19 years.

      Good thing my team only plays that game 2-3 times a year.

        Oh, wow. Who's working the MLB Network games? That might be my last hope there.

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

            Un****ingbelievable.


            Nevermind, it's BSPN, it's completely believable.

            I can't even properly put into words how ridiculous this is, as if Morgan's uneducated blathering (not to mention dragging Miller's otherwise quality PBP down with him) wasn't painful enough on its own, adding Phillips' inanity has the makings of a perfect storm of broadcasting ineptitude.

              Good thing the O's were on ESPN a grand total of 0 times last year

              What a terrible decision.

                Maybe it won't be that bad. He's apparently just filling the "on-field reporter" role that Gammons had. It means it'll be less talking by him overall and no more post game stuff from him either. It actually sounds like an upgrade overall.

                ...that is, as long as they don't cut to him too much...lol

                  True...

                  But any talking by Steve Phillips is still too much talking by Steve Phillips

                    lol...no arguments here

                    Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll jump ship to Fox. Then Joe buck can drool over the hot story while Tim and Steve take turns confusing eachother with their babbling...lol.

                    Joe: "What an amazing game this is guys."

                    Tim: "In my mind, amazing is what the Mets are nicknamed."

                    Steve: "I used to be their GM...got to a WS too...anyone hiring?"

                    Tim: "In my mind, I was at that world series."

                    Steve: "It's a proven fact that to get there you need strong leadership from a good GM...a consistent GM...a GM named Steve"...

                    Joe: "Great points guys...simpy amazing."

                    Tim and Steve: "Where are we?"


                    lol...sorry

                      I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me how this man was a GM in the first place.

                        haha

                        great points...but if they could manage to take Joe Morgan with them they would have a dream team...

                        "Well in my day (follow with any ridiculous statement that only makes sense to himelf about the "old days")"

                        That would finally make Fox coverage totally unwatchable.
