Steiner pictured at right
The Dodgers' broadcasting situation for 2014 is starting to become a bit more clear. They will have a new network in SportsNet LA, and when Vin Scully stays home for road games east of Arizona Charley Steiner will shift over from radio to television play-by-play...I actually wouldn't mind Steiner in this role given that most of my trouble with him lies in the fact that it takes him seemingly half an inning to understand and report what happened in a given play. On TV, where we have the visual, we don't have to actually rely on him for that as we do on the radio.

I liked Steiner fine when he was doing TV road games with Lyons. Now that Lyons is gone, I should like him even more.
Slimers also claims the Dodgers are trying to lure (non-SoSG) Orel over to do color with Steiner.
Or non-SoSG EK (RIP). I can't see either because they have presumably better gigs already.
Both are arguably better gigs, but this offer likely involves FAT STACKS OF CASH (though, for more work, natch).
I'm fine with Steiner, Orel or even Karros. Anyone but Lyons. His career was so forgettable, but he would never let anyone forget it!
I'm fine with Orel, BJ.
[sorry, couldn't leave that one untaken]
Wow, you guys are nice. My only hope is that Monday and Steiner are not put together so that their nightly 3 hour-long comedy show can be put down. Maybe adding some Orel will help but EK, I predict, will annoy with his strong, old schoolish statements. At least he's a true Dodger!
A commentator with strong, old schoolish statements? That never happens.
It doesn't matter. I won't be able to watch the Dodgers games next year anyways.
