On the face of it Small said there is no harm But what happens if the last batter fouls off 10 pitches and then walks? And the next batter reaches first on an error? And the lead runner scores? And the game goes into extra innings and the no-hitter is still in progress? In other words how much time should be allowed for a cut-in? And what happens when the allotted time expires but the completion of a no-hitter is only one pitch away? too hard to Small said ESPN officials believe the problem is solvable and that exceptions should be made discussing it with Soltys said know we want to do it up to Major League Baseball to allow So what about it Mr Small? are not having any discussions whatsoever with Small said happy with the contract and have no plans to change Metaphors overtake Cup coverage In an effort to explain the nuances of soccer to a largely unsophisticated US viewing audience Turner Network Television announcers have riddled the airwaves with football basketball and boxing metaphors Enough! Occasional metaphors might add some per When Nolan Ryan was flaming through his sixth no-hitter early Tuesday morning against the Oakland Athletics baseball fans turning to ESPN for a glimpse of history were treated to a modified pickup-truck race The World Off Road Championship from Phoenix Fans who waited for a live cut-in never got one All they got was a tape of Willie Randolphs gameending foul out to right field at 12:58 am and lots of off-road racing before and after In living rooms across America curses filled the air ESPN the self-proclaimed daily electronic voice of major-league baseball had struck out on one of the epic moments Right? Not quite Missing no-hitter fault Not entirely anyway The cable sports four-year $400 million contract with Major League Baseball contains a clause that prohibits it from cutting in live to games on Mondays Thursdays and Saturdays nights when ESPN does not have its own game League Baseball will only allow us to cut in live when doing a baseball program or when doing Baseball Tonight" said Mike Soltys manager of programming information no-hitter as special a story as going to get It would have been good for ESPN good for baseball fans to show it But we have to abide by the guidelines For
