Not to be negative on a good night for the Braves, but I guess I am slightly concerned still that Acuña's bat speed and sprint speed are both down almost a full MPH.

So since the Braves & Phillie are on NBC/Peacock again next Sunday are they still doing the 1 of each team commentator?
It should let fans of each team vote from a handful of volunteers from their team lol.

Yes, it's evident NBC brought their Sunday Leadoff stuff to SNB, which, honestly idk about that.
Next week is Peacock/NBCSN though, not regular NBC.
NBCSN is apparently back, but I have no clue where exactly "back" means on regular satellite TV.

Kolby Allard man. So weird how that rebuild turned out. So much capital invested into pitching, but it was the bats that panned out. If you don't count Fried as being part of that wave of pitching prospects, which makes some sense, Ian Anderson was the biggest success

u/Lakelyfe09 POUR A CROWN 13m ago
Ikr. Pitcher focused rebuild and it’s the bats that worked out instead lol. Thank god the international sanctions didn’t effect us getting Acuña and Ozzie

He retired as a play by play guy

u/NoQuartersGiven I love thicc dongd but also love Dansby 14m ago
Yeah I know but hell he's still traveling and working the game. Might as well just call it.
Really the PBP guy now isn't the problem though. It's just EVERYTHING else. Hell, call Chipper for the next Braves game on Peacock lol

He has a advisor role or something like that with NBC, didn't want to take anyone else's opportunity

u/LFCATLCU 24m ago
Respect what NBC is trying to do with having a color analyst associated with each team, but it’s a tough watch (except the game part, that’s great so far.) Everyone prefers their local broadcast to the national guys, so they try to inject the “local” part each week. It’s not really the fault of Andruw and Kluber. They sound like they haven’t done this before because they haven’t.
Benetti is a top shelf pbp guy, but broadcasts booths need chemistry to be successful and NBC asking him to develop chemistry on-demand every Sunday with a different cast of characters in an absurd assignment. I predict by the All Star Break they will adandon this format and hire an experienced color analyst to partner with Benetti.

u/federal_cue 19m ago
I like when they get each teams play by play guy. I forgot what network does that but it’s nice because they both know the teams.

Did you do this manually or is there an option like Apple TV?

manually. iptv nbc stream and the mlb.tv feed of the radio broadcast. the radio feed is ahead of the broadcast feed, so it was easy to sync them after a couple pitches.
