Really too early obviously to bring this up but I've been a follower of baseball since I was a little kid and I'm 50. Bart and his team to a really good job with baseball game commentary, so I'm not knocking those dudes at all. However, I really enjoy hearing the radio broadcast (obviously since that's what I "grew up" hearing). I am aware that there are methods to sync the radio audio with the ESPN or SEC network broadcast, but, frankly it has issues. I've always had to pause the radio broadcast after commercials because it will be several pitches ahead when TV comes back from commercial. I'm not willing to work that hard just to watch a game. I tried some app several years ago and that was a total failure. I know when you watch an internet broadcast, there are timing issues due to connection speed, etc and that is likely the cause of the issues. So, has it ever been considered to allow viewers to have an option on the video feed to select which audio they would like to use? I am sure a potential issue with this lies with the fact that SEC network does not own the radio broadcast signal since they are totally different companies or at least that's my understanding. I'm just wondering if something could be worked out. Not bashing Bart and his team at all. Just trying to see if the right person may see this, think it's a good idea and work something out. Thanks for reading.

I would like this when we play away games. I think Bart and Matt/Charlie do a great job, so wouldn’t be in a hurry to have when we play home. But goodness, you realize how bad some of the other’s SEC+ in house guys are when we go on the road. Bush league and below. Really makes you appreciate Bart that much more.

However, like you said, Learfield owns the radio and ESPN the video. I guess it could be done but would be awkward trying to synch up, etc and also take a lot of dotting i’s and crossing t’s
