    Bases Loaded Returns
    For the second consecutive year, ESPN’s NCAA Softball Championship Regional Round coverage is supplemented with a Bases Loaded viewing option, providing look-ins to multiple live games throughout the day while also recapping the entire tournament up to that moment. Matt Schick and Brendan Fitzgerald will host and Garland Cooper will provide the analysis. Bases Loaded will be seen on the channel previously designated as ESPN Goal Line, with ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU also airing it throughout the weekend.

    The Bases Loaded concept had first been used for the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship before being utilized for the Softball Championship last season. This year, the concept was also used on SEC Network during ESPN’s record-setting regular season softball coverage, to showcase every team in the Southeastern Conference the closing weekend of conference play.

    We're fortunate to get Adam Amin here. He's very solid. He did the TV for the Super Regionals last year in BR.

    Then you haven't been paying attention, because, although she is still ESPN's #1 female announcer, she has been passed up by Cara Capuano and Pam Ward. And she has never even approached Adam Amin in talent or ability.

    We have been down this road with Adam before. I STRONGLY suggest, for those of you who have Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, any other accounts that you have, send them requests to call us Louisiana, no ULL, no Lafayette, just Louisiana. If they ask why, give them this link...

    http://www.angelfire.com/la3/ulragincajuns/battle.html

    ...and let them read for themselves.

    Chances are they are already in town, if not, they will be here in the morning. The sooner we pass this message along to them, the better chance we have of them applying it. I'm not going to delude myself or anyone else into thinking that they will comply, but it's unlikely they will call us Louisiana if we do not give them our input. Let's get busy, people.

    Louisiana is on our stadium and jerseys. If they can read, it's not hard to announce it correctly.

    It looks like we've got our work cut out for us. I'm watching the softball pretournament show on ESPNU right now and I'm only hearing Lafayette coming out of the mouth of Scarborough.


  10. Default Re: ESPN softball regional game announcers

    Amin calls us Lafayette. That's all you need to know.


  11. #11

    Default Re: ESPN softball regional game announcers

    Adam is good at reading stats and talking about how great every player is. That's about it. By the time he's done with the Texas/Texas A & M game, you'll think both teams won the national championship many times. Especially A & M as he'll have an ex Aggie doing the game with him. Thank goodness I don't have to listen as I'll be at the game.

    I think his role as the PBP position of the duo is mostly as you described. Scarborough is the color side.

    Default Re: ESPN softball regional game announcers

    Amin will hopefully call a good play-by-play, I'm just skeptical on how great Scarborough will be since her Aggies will be in the regional. I expect a lot of A&M overhyping from her.

    Hope he catches one of our baseball games. That and softball should blow him away.
