However, when they arrived for the contest against the Giants, the Diamondbacks did not furnish Miller with a roster of the players they brought for the game. The long-time broadcaster, best known as the voice of ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball in the late ’90s and early 2000’s, did not hold back words about Arizona’s management.
“I have to guess the D-Backs decided ‘the heck with the big leagues; let’s just not be a big-league team for the split-squad,’” Miller said. “They have sent no public relations people over here, no information about who the manager is or anything at all about it.”
“If they don’t want to be a big-league team, we’ll just treat them like a sandlot team. They gave us no information about anything. So, one of those guys in a red shirt is managing, and one of their right-handers on the mound,” he said.

1. Russlan is not Russian Posted: March 07, 2023 at 10:32 PM (#6119881)but the viewers don't care, Jon.
If you find out an hour before the game that the other team has dropped the ball (so to speak), then either you get your ass out of your chair or your staff does.
by game time, the viewers should be supplied with the info they need.
if you want to make a dig in mid-game about your gripe - hell, it's only spring training so you have a long leash.
but Jon - it's not about you.
he's a great broadcaster, but he seems to me to be tone deaf here as far as the audience who actually work for a living.
I would be surprised if he does not issue a Wednesday apology - and I'll be disappointed if he doesn't.

Yeah, but Earl got a big time assist from Alice Sweet.
I actually named a character in one of my novels Alice Sweet. It's a good name.
I just assume everyone is an aspiring novelist. Why wouldn't they be?
And Earl said she was a real tomato.
well there is that... (I'm into writing comic books personally, but I could do some furry porn, not sure about the incest part. :) My furries are usually a fox hooking up with a raccoon, so I doubt the incest part.)
oh, and don't forget self-cest, if you want to scratch your sci-fi cockles.
sounds painful.
I just assume everyone is an aspiring novelist. Why wouldn't they be?
Why not, indeed? I've actually written six novels, with two more in the hopper. (I have no illusions about getting them published, tho; I write 'em just for fun.)
Two here, plus one play. All collecting digital dust on my hard drive.
I did get my first nonfiction book published this year though, which is nice.
