Who does the tie go to? Is it the defense?Not Covid - it is cost. They are doing 2,000 games and they need announcers to call lots of games per day. Some of these commentators are doing 3-4 games from the studio. They are also using a lot of local camera crews at games especially the ones on ESPN+
Michelle Smith I believe gave the old 'tie goes to the runner' myth last game I watched. That just isn't true. And she is still saying 'late break on that pitch' which is clearly BS.
Also they can stop pretending that the pitch speeds that are showing on most games are right.
