    Do you think that was because the game was being telecast on MLB? Who is your normal TV pbp guy?

    Co, I watched the game, Miller was on the radio side, as per usual,.. only Dave Flemming was absent

    Duane Kuiper is our play-by-play announcer, Mike Krukow is our color commentator,.. both were Giant players and teammates,.. the much beloved, Kruk and Kuip, have been our tv announcers since 1994,.. each had broadcast associations with the Giants going back further,.. Kuiper had a one year stint announcing for your expansion Rockies in 1993

    Then MLB must have been using your radio feed for the pbp.

    ok, the way it works is, our pbp guy trades off with the radio voice during innings 4,5,6, then switch back for the last innings,.. I had the game on a back tab, and listened while I did other stuff, so I'm not absolutely positive that Jon Miller radio announced the game for us, I don't recall seeing him,... but,... if Fleming was gone, Jon had to be there,.. and @tirk said Affeldt was announcing along with Fleming for mlb-tv,.. and Miller was on the post-game show along with Kruke and Kuip,.. Fleming was not there,.. whenever one of the four is on "special assignment" they never appear on the post-game wrap,.. so, I'll bet you a nickle that Miller did not announce the game for mlb-tv.

    I'll bet you a million dollars he did. I said it before. I RECOGNIZED HIS VOICE ON THE MLB TELECAST.
