With six screens — two iPads, two monitors and two computers — and a long ethernet cord to his modem, Chicago White Sox TV announcer Jason Benetti will announce playoff baseball from his living room this week.
The White Sox’s best-of-three wild-card series versus the Oakland Athletics will be on ESPN beginning at 2 p.m. CT Tuesday. Should the Sox advance, ALDS and ALCS games from Southern California will be on TBS, with the World Series in Texas on Fox.
Benetti has been enlisted to work on a daily special Statcast-driven feed for ESPN Plus, the subscription streaming service, with Kyle Peterson and Mike Petriello.
