ckendall67 They all are. It’s more obvious in other sports (NBA/NFL) than others (MLB/NHL) but all have a predetermined winner. If an event is on television, it’s most likely contrived.
Skip Carey was not happy when TBS passed on him to call it's LDS games in 2007. He worked for them for 30 years. Yet NBC gets him to fill in for Costas while Bob's recovering from his Olympic hosting duties for this week. It's funny however to see Skip call only American League Division Series Games despite doing NL games (Braves) for years and years.
Why did NBC use Skip Caray to fill in for Bob Costas instead of say, Joe Morgan's normal ESPN Sunday Night Baseball partner at the time, Jon Miller? I know that Miller was doing the NLDS for ESPN (alongside Joe Morgan and Buck Martinez on days that Morgan was unavailable) during that same time period.
Probably cuz Miller had ESPN division series commitments? His contract at ESPN may have prevented him from working for another network? Sometimes networks don't want to mimic whats going on with another network hence the different partner for Morgan in Carey. It was funny because I believe Carey had to miss radio coverage for his Braves to do these network games. I remember thinking before NBC had to address this conflict that they'd bring VIN SCULLY back to call these division series games. They brought Bucky Waters back to call a college basketball game or two just a few years earler than this. Heck, they brought Paul McGuire back after leaving for ESPN Sunday Night NFL to call a Grambling game one time (in the late '00 decade) and not to mention for their '88 Seoul Olympic conflicts, they got Curt Gowdy out of retirement to work with Merlin Olson. A side note to this, for the network's Notre Dame football coverage, NBC used a young announcer by the name of Craig Milanovich (spelling) to work with Pat Haden for that Olympic shortage.
Watching this game reinforces the notion that “moneyball” didn’t start in 2002. The analytics of approach of walk, home runs, not bunting or stealing was developed around 1999. This Oakland team played the same as that 2002 team. Just less power and better pitching.
It was the Oakland way since McGwire....He was the original walk n jack Oakland A. Giambi was his protégé in that regard.( And in other ways , hehehehe) Maybe they didn't adhere to no stolen bases as much with Henderson, but he was a walk machine, and the rest of that lineup was patient too. Steinbach, Baines etc.
@@ManiaxOnYT Olympics had finished in Sydney on Sunday and I’m pretty sure NBC didn’t want Costas jumping into another assignment so quickly after traveling halfway around the world to get home.
Wrestling was so mainstream back then. As a wrestling nut, it’s hilarious to hear players walking to the plate to bat with stone cold Steve Austin or the NWO Wolfpack song playing

Oakland in the early 2000s was the shit. Thank you for these uploads.
Can't believe they never at least appeared in a WS
@@jared1940 I think MLB won’t let them go cause of that terrible stadium. They won’t let that dump host a World Series.
@@frankfurlacker5219 that didn't keep them out from 88-90 when they went to 3 straight.

"You got all the mets fans watching hoping that theyll play the yankees" oh how prophetic that would end up being
Sominboy27 sports are scripted

Yea, Craig Minervini (I was way off on his last name spelling, lol). Just looked him up, I see he does Marlins & Florida Panthers coverage nowadays.

Roger Clements what a player cool I'ma try to view every nlcs alcs finals and world series from 2000 to 2020 lol
Skip caray is my favorite ever
I was a Yankees fan growing. Also watch alot of braves games on tbs. Anyway I was thrilled when skip was coming this seris
I hated Skip. I thought he was boring as all hell. Still do.
2:44 a young Bob Wischusen long before he rose through the ranks.
Thank you!!! Go A's!!
I noticed the A's had fireworks. Who did them?
I was at this game, and Clemens was very LOUDLY jeered off the field after the fifth inning. "ROGER! ROGER!" Can't hear any of that on this broadcast.
if EC didn't get hurt as much he probley still play for the Oakland athletics
Torre wouldn't play Canseco which was bizarre. He was perfectly happy to play Strawberry, who was just as flawed.
Where do you get these games?
I recorded in those years. I'm from Italy
Giambi didn't slide here either.
Yoooo. I didn't skip had an NBC assingment. Sweet.
Skip was covering for Bob Costas who was doing the Olympics around this time
@@ManiaxOnYT Olympics had finished in Sydney on Sunday and I’m pretty sure NBC didn’t want Costas jumping into another assignment so quickly after traveling halfway around the world to get home.

Morgan was such a Yankee hater because he couldn't stand they were a better dynasty that his supposed Big Red Machine in the 1970s.
