Pesapallo prod-kast in inglis! :DDD
wow the commentary is bad and trying to lure foreigners with this must be doing more harm than good for the sport
>>142972166Are these the usual announcers trying their best in English, or were these announcers specifically chosen for this one job?
Also,>IPV Reds>RedsWannabee Americanism. Embarrassing.
>>142972234I have no clue, I don't watch the sportprobably the latter, he can pronounce well enough, but his voice is terrible for commentating
>>142972234At the beginning of July, another baseball club announced that it would be the first to hold a match event in English. Shortly after this pesäpallo club that produces this broadcast announced that they would be the first to make the commentary in English. In the same announcement, they were looking for someone who has both this sport and English skills. They are not at all prepared to do this properly.
>>142972234>Are these the usual announcers trying their best in EnglishYes
>>142972381I'm not expecting perfection, but his pronunciation is definitely not "good enough." >>142972411>In the same announcement, they were looking for someone who has both this sport and English skills.That sounds about right.
>>142972254i mean the sport is from america in the first place, so is it really that embarrassing
perfect balance of basedball and finnish autism
>>142972527If you want a better experience, wait until August 4. Then there will be a better prepared game. The announcer is British and I would believe that the American interviewed at the beginning of this broadcast is included.https://www.pumu.fi/englishgame
>>142972527its good enough for a finn, imo bigger problem is he's not sure of what he's saying so it sounds more like rambling with extended pauses and filler wordsthere's also 2 commentators, but both seem to have same role, trying to teach how the sport worksthey should stick to simple stuff and let people learn by watching
>>142972605I'm still watching this. In some way, it's still better than CHL announcers who speak fluent (British) English, but seem to know nothing about hockey.>>142972607Yeah, the slowness is worse than the pronunciation. Better to hire someone loud and enthusiastic, even if it's 90% gibberish.
is it always this low scoring
>>142972979A game is played in two halves. The score resets in the 2nd half, which just begun.
>>142972812its also so unprofessional u can hear them touching mics constantly and dont know when to mute etcsome really low budget production, at least its free
>>142972979This is graph how many runs per game over seasons
jymy win
I missed it
