Sunday Nights on ESPN in 2022

It's May 1, 2022, the Mets host Philadelphia in a Sunday Night game. You grumble because Sunday games should always start at 1 PM (even from the West Coast). You might try to sync Howie and Wayne to the TV but you can now actually keep the sound on because Matt V. and A. Rodriguez are gone! It will now be Karl Ravech, David Cone, and Eduardo Perez on the broadcast. Hopefully, they keep it to the game instead of making it a baseball talk show with the game in the background but we'll see. I am not optimistic about that but it's better than Vasgersian and Rodriguez... But the ball-slapper will be on ESPN2 will Michael Kay in an attempt to have a "Manningcast" alternative for around 10 games. This will suck. The above is per Andrew Marchand in the New York Post which I choose not to link to.

I seriously doubt it. ESPN has made booth chatter mandatory. There'll be lots of 'Coney' stories. (Maybe we'll finally find out what happened in the bullpen with those young women.)

What's a Manningcast?

There is a parallel broadcast for NFL games on one of the other ESPN channels in which to the Manning Brothers watch the game and provide commentary. I hard that they are planning to move Alex Rodriguez from the booth to this in-game baseball show.
