Thankfully, for those of us listening along at home, the Washington Nationals got veteran radio man Charlie Slowes to call the action when they held another simulated game in Nationals Park last night, because they also experimented with piped in crowd noise and music while they played, which would have made for an odd listening/viewing experience without the announcer.
Kudos to the Nationals for streaming the sim game as well, it was nice to have baseball back on our device(s).
And since we’ll all be watching games from home with no fans in the stands when baseball returns later this month, the radio announcer for the defending World Series champs did a good job of making it all tolerable.
