Ex-Phillies pitcher Dan Plesac: A day in the life of an MLB Network analyst

It was an eventful evening in baseball, featuring a walk-off home run, a near no-hitter, an October-like match-up in a tight divisional race and the final game of a sweep that all but closed the door on the Phillies' hopes of playing this postseason.

But for the crew of the Emmy Award-winning MLB Tonight, Wednesday was just another night in the daily tightrope act that brings together highlights, live game action, on-the-field interviews and analysis for as much as six hours a night. Think of it as a cross between the NFL Red Zone and Charles Barkley's Inside the NBA, happening seven nights a week on the MLB Network.
