Agree with all the above. Been a big WatchESPN fan for a few years now and purchased a subscription to FloSoftball last year. It has been a heavy dose of Mary Nutter in our house on Flo the last few days......

I have been watching some of the MNC this weekend. Have has some streaming issues and have to admit that a couple of the play-by-play announcers got on my nerves. Had to turn the volume off and just watch the video feed.

Couldn't agree more on both points:D

Yeah, sometimes the announcers on these streamed games are a bit rough. I assume some of them are college kids who are working on majors in the TV field. North Carolina didn't have any announcers for any of the games I looked at this weekend. Kind of different.

By far, my favorite streaming announcing pair is the LSU team. Can't remember thier names but the color analyst is the former LSU coach and the play-by-play guy has good softball knowledge. Been interesting to hear Eli Gold on a couple of the mid-week Alabama games as well.

Being an Auburn fan it pains me to give Alabama kudos, but having Eli Gold calling Alabama softball games is awesome!

I know the feeling but add in having your cousin's DD call the games with him. I spent 4 years making trips down to Tuscaloosa to see her play and pulling for them(I did refuse to say Roll Tide). I will definitely watch more bama softball online this year than I planned on.

I wonder how ESPN decides which streaming games get the higher production level (pro announcers, multiple camera angles, better graphics, etc.).

the announcers for these game, particularly with "color commentary" in regard to pitching, is tough to listen to, sometimes.
But all-in-all, what a wonderful thing it is...

Wish some more marquee matchups were televised so far.
LSU, Alabama, and Auburn have been featured generously, FLA U a little bit;
but Michigan, AZ, UCLA, Oregon, etc. not so much, yet.

I do value the behind-the-pitcher camera angles of the higher-production budget games, that's for sure.
