re: Mighty Alabama can only afford one (1) camera for baseball games.

That is BS. The SECN did not send ESPN lite to A&M for every single game and Bama gets less than the local high school.

We have 2-3 cameras a game, maybe more. A play by play and color guy. Not to mention they all know what they are doing. Very hard to tell the difference when you're watching SECN and SECN+.

You're also playing in your home stadium. Alabama isn't, and I'm pretty sure we aren't the only team using the Met.

It's not BS at all. It's 100% correct.

ESPN/SEC Network contract out a production truck that supplies enough cameras, audio equipment, replay systems, and a director and operators for said replay, audio, and camera equipment. Some trucks are really big, some aren't very big. Television networks make the vast amount of their money from advertising. Apparently this thursday game wasn't worth it from a money stand point for ESPN to send out a bigger truck with more operators. Seems pretty bushleague to me, I don't understand running a one camera shoot on a major network. That's pretty embarrassing for SEC Network, not Alabama.

Another possible reason for it being a one camera shoot is a technical problem in the production truck like someone dropping a coffee on the switcher.

Either way it's completely an ESPN/SEC Network issue.

You have no idea what you're talking about.
