Nice play Mr. B.

Too bad you have two clowns doing the play by play.

How dare these college students learning how to do radio not be the quality of professionals!

"Luke Johnson waddles back to the dug-out"
"That manager should really go sit down and just coach"
"Augustana and Carroll will play in game #2"
"Not sure how North Park made it here with a bunch of guys hitting .235"

Just call the game and keep your opinions to yourself.

North Central beats North Park in the first game, 12-6. The Cardinals broke open what had been a one-run game with a six spot in the bottom of the eighth, and NPU was only able to pick up one run in the top of the ninth.

No live stream again for the CCIW tourney?  Come on NCC...AndOne, get that taken care of!

Unfortunately, my "influence" does not extend to the conference office. ⚾️ ☹️

Is this really up to Chris and Mike? I have my doubts abut that. It shouldn't be a conference matter. It should be the responsibility of the host school. IWU provided live video for the CCIW softball tourney. NPU not only provided live video for this past fall's CCIW men's soccer tourney, the athletic department called in an outside production company in order to provide extra camera angles.

[AndOne]

Sorry, I didn't follow the softball or soccer tourneys so I didn't have the background.
I figured, perhaps incorrectly, that since it is the CCIW Conference Tournament most things, including those related to any video production/broadcasting, would be done more under the control of the conference authorities. Sure the host school would take care of things like field prep, locker room assignments, possibly helping with discounted hotel arrangements if a team was staying over—stuff like that. Whether it would have been arranged/paid for by the conference or NCC, I must say I was hoping NCTV would be on scene to broadcast the games (at least those involving NCC), and was a little surprised they weren't.

[Gregory Sager]

No, I'm pretty sure that it's part of the responsibility of the host school.

At any rate, a live Twitter feed is better than nothing.

Did anyone else have an issue with the view on Twitter flipping sideways in the last few innings?

[Gregory Sager]

NCC was likely using a cellphone as its camera (which would make sense for a Twitter feed). That would explain the phone-like flipping from profile to landscape.

[AndOne]

I don't know who sees it, but I did sign in to the twitter feed and comment that someone should advise the older guys in the red shirt and gold shirt that they were partially blocking the camera, and request that they move. But, of course, that didn't help. I can't believe they were so unaware as to not be able to recognize they were in the way. 😣

Kinda like when we were happy to get a stream of the audiocast of the game on our 8K modems, back before some of these players were born!

[Gregory Sager]

Yes, back in the days when we had to trudge five miles uphill through the snow to get to our computers.

You had a computer?!  I had to try to follow the games on my sons' Etch-A-Sketch!

...uphill, into the wind, both ways
