Sunday Night Baseball In Game Interviews…

[Faustdog]

These interviews they do in the middle of play with a guy miked up on the field are atrocious. Let them play the game. It’s a horrible distraction.

Saw Glayber’s interview. Seemed a bit forced since it was scheduled to last the entire 1/2 inning.

It was kinda cool to hear him roll up Bogarts on the DP though.

Yeah, I’m no Yankees fan, but there’s a good argument to be made he gets to the Pham ground ball had he not been mid-conversation as the ball was hit. I would hate that so much as a coach. Not sure how you can get as good of a break on a ball mid-sentence.

I have always hated any kind of in game interviews in baseball. But these player interviews while they are on the field are a new level of stupid.

Agree.

I don't watch MLB, so I didn't know about this.

In my opinion, 100% of a fielder's concentration should be on the hitter as the pitched ball approaches the hitting area, so he can react in a timely manner.

Isn't this obvious common sense, or am I overlooking something?

Soto interview during a recent SD game was the exception.

I've enjoyed the ones I've heard, specifically with Votto early in the season. There's probably some things they can do to limit interference with a live play.

 

[Go Budaw]

It’s pretty stupid for the players to agree to it. But they have evidently been both agreeing to do it and getting the blessing from their managers, so I guess they can own it if it makes them 17 up.

Despise in-game interviews....

Will not listen to them. TV goes on mute the second one is started.

 

[AlCoDog]

Hell, they were talking to pitchers during the All-Star game. Any position is terrible and shouldn’t be doing these interviews, but the damn pitcher??

The Votto one during the Field of Dreams game was a pretty fun listen. I enjoy them. But also don't want it to interfere with the game.
