ESPN should at least put up a graphic identifying who’s hitting,
for each batter. These announcers are insufferable, so better
to watch with sound muted.
Watched Sciambi and JD Tuesday and they had good chemistry for
their first game together. Will miss Kasper but these guys will
be fun.

ESPN+ is also trying to compete with the Athletic, but doesn't
measure up.

Not knowing who was hitting was ridiculous.
I watched Strumpf’s first AB thinking he was (at first) Kohl
Stewart getting an AB for whatever reason, and then some other
minor leaguer named Stewart (is Ian back?), because I couldn’t
see the last name clearly, and the announcers were oblivious to
the fact that there was a game going on...

It is made worse by the fact that in the later innings, they
stopped play by play almost altogether. And that is usually the
innings that the players and prospects I want to see are put
into the game. Like Craig, I think that a hitter getting hit in
the head by a pitch is more important to inform us about than
the question of who gets to be on Rizzo's boat. And like Dave,
I didn't know Strumpf was in the game until he was done batting.
ESPN was just as bad last year, and when Sciambi was given the
Cubs job, I was concerned that he would bring a lot of that crap
with him. He didn't, at least in the first game.

The ESPN announcers were not at the ballpark, so hard to tell if
they could even identify—from the feed they saw—who were the
minor leaguers in the game. The production team should be doing
that with graphics.
Other than that,I don’t care if they want to deviate from
calling the game, up to a point. Went overboard this game.

Interesting that Biagini, Brothers, and Megill are all going
again before some other arms have pitched once. I wonder if any
of the others have injury or illness issues.
