Baseball can be a beautiful game.
Watching as a fan in the stands or a viewer at home or at the tavern can be a scintillating experience.
Covering these types of games for television are what a television production crew loves.
There is nothing better.
That is the good.
Baseball can be real, real ugly.
Watching as a fan in the stands or a viewer at home or at the tavern can be a terrible experience.
At least the viewer at home can turn off the TV and the patron at the bar can play pool.
Covering these types of games for television create the worst possible experience for the TV production crew.
We can't turn off the TV set - we are sending the signal to the TV sets!
There is nothing worse.
Tonight's game was one of those awful games that comes around every so often. It is the responsibility of the TV baseball production crew to continue delivering quality baseball coverage despite games such as this one.
It is very difficult to provide quality baseball coverage when there is no quality baseball to coverage.
That is the ugly.
I made numerous comments on headset tonight about how awful this game was.
That was the bad.
As the TV director, I should have kept my mouth shut.
Everybody and his uncle knew this was a poorly played game. My comments certainly did not make a bad situation better. No, those comments made a bad situation worse.
My apologies to my teammates on the TV crew.
