Throughout the season the game will usually dictate the required coverage from the TV production crew. It is how the TV team reacts to the game that determines the quality of the telecast. Sometimes the game is good to the TV crew and sometimes the game is quite difficult for the telecast to capture.
Tonight's Cardinals/Astros game was a classic example of the game determining the coverage.
A most important and a most exciting part of any game occurs when the bases are loaded. The successful teams deliver when the bags are full. Tonight's Cardinals/Astros game was a game in which the bases seemed to be loaded all night long.
The Cardinals delivered a bases clearing double with the bases loaded with the double being delivered by the starting pitcher. The Astros were 0-6 with the bas loaded.
That was the game and that was the game summary as we closed out the show.
I can't think of a situation that fires up the TV crew more than when the bases are loaded. Surely, there is an incredible high when a sucessful at-bat occurs with the bas loaded and it is a bit of a downer when the team at the plate doesn't deliver. This is true no matter which team is at the plate.
Tonight's Cardinals/Astros game was full of exciting moments. Fortunately for the Cardinals' fans, the Astros' fans were disappointed throughout the telecast.
Cardinals deliver - Astros do not deliver.
Game over - Cardinals 7, Astros 4.
