Three isn’t a crowd on Marquee Sports Network with Sciambi, Deshaies & Girardi

Marquee Sports Network

Jon Sciambi (from left), Joe Girardi and Jim Deshaies called the Cubs’ opening series last weekend and will work more together this season.

Three-person booths can be difficult for broadcasters of any sport. But baseball’s new pitch timer might make it the sport least conducive for such booths.

That didn’t dissuade Marquee Sports Network from adding Joe Girardi to the Cubs’ booth of Jon Sciambi and Jim Deshaies for the opening series last weekend. It proved to be a winning combination. Sciambi is adept at leading a booth, and Deshaies and Girardi provided an interesting pitcher-catcher dynamic.
