A.P. Discuss SNY Thread

[Elster88]

I'm loving the Cohen/Hernandez combo. It's like listening to the radio while watching TV. Which I used to resort to.


They need to set up their HD channel. Baseball is beautiful on ESPNHD but painful to listen to.

[Guest Iubitul]

I couldn't agree more - Gary is always a great listen, and he has been giving Keith time to shine. I loved hearing about the differnt bats and their weights - I never heard about that weight/height ratio before...

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I get the HD feed. It's excellent.

Keith looks terribly self-conscious when they turn the camera on him & Gary.

What service do you have?

I had the SNY feed on MLB.TV yesterday and there was no ball/strike/out indicator on-screen, no score, no inning, no network logo, nothing. Not a thing. Is that how it really is or was that just the MLB.TV version?

[Guest OlerudOwned]

I like the SNY Sportsnightdeskcenter show, it's better than MSG's and more local/less stupid than ESPN. Plus, they have one of the only anchors I could stomach from ESPN (Berthuime [sp?]).

You're right. How old school to have an uncluttered screen.

There's a fairly large box in the upper left corner with standard score, bases, out, and count indicator with an SNY logo. Another SNY logo in the upper right corner.

[Willets Point]

Actually, I'm noticing now that online I don't see any graphics. For ex. stats for batters and in-game box score. I don't miss them too much personally but it's kind of odd.

ESPNHD is blacked out within prolly a 75 mile radius of Shea. Cablevision
seems to have gotten it's act together as I said in the other thread (Elster
probably ignores my posts these days) and we're getting HD.

I like the Cohen/Keith combo so far. Keith is a plain joe and Cohen bringing
his stuff to tv was a great idea. I haven't listened to a game on the radio yet,
who's all doing that stuff this year? Not Ed Coleman?

[Guest Iubitul]

I can't believe that I didn't notice it - I love the old school/uncluttered look.

[Elster88]

Why would I ignore your posts?

Cablevision here in CT doesn't have SNYHD at least.

Exactly....

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Nice suit, Kenny Choi. Just get out of prison?

[Guest abogdan]

Cohen and Hernandez were great this series. I really like how Hernandez talks strategy throughout the game - what the hitter is looking for, what the pitcher is looking for, why the catcher is calling what he's calling. Really good stuff.

Gary Cohen is doing the radio too. Actually it's ex-Phillies radio guy Tom McCarthy who sounds just like Cohen. He also took over the postgame Mets Extra duties. Eddie C has had the last 2 games with Howie having Islanders duties.

[Centerfield]

Gary Cohen makes weird faces when he's talking.

[metirish]

Yeah and he really leans towards Keith when they show them on the TV...

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I've noticed that too. Maybe he's uncomfortable knowing the camera is on him. One time when they cut to the booth, Gary seemed to be sitting normally, but immediately did that deferential leaning thing. Maybe it's a clause in Keith's contract?

[Elster88]

They might not be sure that they're in the frame, so they lean closer to each other?

[Centerfield]

Maybe it's to keep warm.

Where has Ron Darling been? I haven't heard him on any of the telecasts.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

He's been in the studio.

BTW, Comcast, despite being a partner in this venture, has not been showing SNY in HD. WTF?

[MFS62]

What's to discuss?
I still don't have it.

[Elster88]

Darling did the color today.

He sounded a little stiff - definitely not as good as Keith.

[Guest abogdan]

I didn't hear Darling on SNY, but a friend who lives in Washington said he was awful last year w/the Nats.

[Elster88]

Practice makes perfect.
