Mariners announcer Aaron Goldsmith was handling play by play of the Fox game Saturday against Texas. It was an early shutout for the Rangers, so food was brought into the booth to talk about for five minutes. Aaron played along given the l grimace/smile on his face with partner A.J. Pierzynski. Oh well, gotta maintain interest at all costs.

Nacho hat schtick better than the game.
ReplyDeleteI just hope Aaron and A.J. get to keep and eat all that food now that they've had their hands all over it. The segment might have been a little cringeworthy, but at least the food looked good. The only thing missing was the Mariners souvenir ferry boats! The national audience would have enjoyed seeing those!
ReplyDeleteFor sure. BTW, the distribution for the game on Fox was just to primary and secondary regional areas for the two teams (Northwest and Texas/Arkansas). Dodgers-Mets game was their main national broadcast.
DeleteThanks for the info on how the game was distributed!
DeleteOf course IDC
DeleteYup. Leave it to the Texas Rangers public relations crew and the Fox production team for providing this cringeworthy goodness. Hopefully the banter between Goldy and A.J. went OK; Aaron on the local Mariners broadcasts has both Dave Valle and Jay Buhner alongside this weekend down there. BTW, incase anyone is curious, Goldsmith in addition to his Mariners duties also works for Fox in the offseason but is able to call MLB baseball for them provided the Mariners are playing in that contest.
