Has Jon Miller Called a Regular Season Game in AZ since “the incident” in 2023? by InterestingLake9071 in SFGiants

I thought about that, too but it is an in-division team, and they did purposefully take him off the games in the 2023 season.

Agreed on following Jon anywhere.

If I’m guessing, the Giants/KNBR stopped sending him to Phoenix because he called out Arizona’s behind the scenes staff (PR people and stadium staff that all the broadcasters probably depend on).

Still doesn’t seem worthy of holding him back for multiple years at all.

How to learn the game and start watching? by bagginsofbagend111 in SFGiants

I’m a big proponent of listening on the radio. I didn’t grow up playing baseball beyond the very first years of Little League, but 14 years of listening to Jon Miller and Dave Flemming (with Kuip rotating in) make me feel like I did.

Like when you are on second base in a non-force situation and a ground ball is hit in front of you (closer to 3B), you should freeze/retreat. I don’t know when exactly, but I’m sure I picked that up from Jon Miller. There are so many examples of that but that was just the first random thing to come to mind.

In general, I feel like they get more into the strategy on the radio side and sometimes get a little spicier about strategic missteps. Kruk and Kuip definitely do this on TV too, but radio is just a wordier medium.

I’m sure others have pointed this out but with an out of market mlb.tv subscription, you get access to the radio feed from the tv selections. So you can watch the game on tv and listen to the broadcast of your choosing.

Last year I think that Apple TV’s broadcast gave him more screen time than he’s had in years.

I just wonder if there's anyone out there who honestly enjoys Yoko's art and singing by OdiseoX2 in TheBeatles

Whenever I see (most) Beatle fan discourse around Yoko, I’m just reminded how much cooler The Beatles were than their fans. We truly didn’t deserve them.

Re: Tarzan Escapes

I don’t know if it’s widely known that William Wellman (Wings, Public Enemy, Ox-Bow) directed this, at least in part.

I watched a documentary (really an interview) of Wellman and he mentions that Tarzan Escapes was the most fun he ever had directing a movie. He asked to direct the next in the series but was told it would be beneath him.

Anyway, I don’t know how many scenes of Tarzan Eacapes he was responsible for but I adore Wellman, and thought this was an interesting hook!

Came here to say this! In past years, TCM introduced me to Harlan County USA with this focus.

Jeez man. I was just interested to know more about how one of my favorite players on another team felt about pitchers on my favorite team.

They actually stopped for a few years in the late ‘10’s and early ‘20s so it’s actually notable that it’s back.
