The Only In-Game TBS Hot Corner Post I'll Make This Postseason

Last season, I could not get enough of TBS Hot Corner, but this season, I've only been online to watch just three times. I've put Hot Corner on today to see if I'm missing anything and I have not.

Tim Singer is at Fenway Park as a reporter and his interviews sometimes air in between innings, but they've been taped ahead of time. So when I see an interview with Tampa Bay's 3rd base coach, it was taped during batting practice. Of course, they can't do an in-game interview unless Chip Carey, Ron Darling and Buck Martinez do from the booth.

My suggestion for next postseason? Bring back the studio show (yes, Heather Catlin and Kelly Cross returning would be very nice), give us a bit of TBS' MLB on Deck crew in between innings and also show us the managerial interviews live to throw the online viewers a bone. In addition, allow us to hear the commentary of the booth announcers. Watching TBS Hot Corner announcer-less has become quite dry.

I don't know if this was a request by MLB not to have a studio show, but I think it's hurt and the fact that the video is two or three pitches behind the game on TV, is not helping either.

The multiple angles showing the dugout, PitchTrak and other locations are fine, but if Hot Corner is your only source of watching the game, then you would be lost as you don't get the entire picture. Then again, TBS Hot Corner is meant to be a compliment to the ALCS, not an independent source.

That ends my only in-game TBS Hot Corner blog entry for 2008.
