There’s also a chance Sciambi will be seen on ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball” next season. In conference play, Sciambi usually calls Big 12 games, so expect to see him in Lawrence, Kansas, a lot. That’s followed by back-to-back doubleheaders in the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament in Uncasville, Connecticut.

He definitely will be traveling for his offseason job, calling college basketball for ESPN. Sciambi figures to be part of it full-time next season, considering Marquee sent its broadcasters on the road more than any other regional sports network this season.

I think doing so many of these games off TV, it’s almost like you’re not really part of it. “So when I had in-person games, I still felt like I wasn’t as good as I’ve been. “They disconnect you from the flow of play-by-play I’m just speaking for me,” Sciambi said. He said calling KBO games last year and many road games this year off a monitor took a little off his fastball. As entertaining as “Demp” and “Sut” can be, having two pitchers as analysts doesn’t give the broadcast enough depth.įor his part, Sciambi feels he can be better. But while the pace of baseball can accommodate a three-person booth, the Cubs’ broadcast was best when it was just “Boog” and JD. Sometimes a third person joined their party, mostly either Ryan Dempster or Rick Sutcliffe. Sciambi welcomed viewers saying, ‘Hi, everybody, Jon Sciambi along with my waiter, Jim Deshaies.’ ” Their camera in the booth went on, and Deshaies was seen wiping the countertop. It was perfect.”Īnother time, as they went on the air for a live open, Deshaies spilled his coffee. And I was like, ‘Yes!’ And I lost my mind. Broadcasts have always been so stiff, and you wouldn’t, and he said it. “He’s saying the thing that you’d say off the air.

“JD waits a beat and goes, ‘He kinda looks like my cousin Randy,’ ” Sciambi said.
