From a marketing perspective, you have to marvel at what NBC has pulled off.
“This would give bobsledding its biggest mainstream moment since ‘Cool Runnings,’ even in this cord-cutting era,” the Journal reporters wrote. But it wouldn’t be a streaming super-event without online gripes about the stream’s quality. When compared to well-established streaming services like Netflix and Disney+, Peacock has a lot of catching up to do. Peacock was all over Sunday’s pre-game show, as expected, with multiple plugs for the new series “Bel-Air,” which began streaming on Sunday to take advantage of the big game. Even if that’s a bit over the top, I know his colleagues appreciate it. Sportscaster Mike Tirico personified this unprecedented combo by flying from Beijing to Los Angeles with a couple days at NBC Sports headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut in between.
Yasmani Grandal was sensational, offensively, when healthy in 2021. More consistency in the health department should only be a help to Grandal's 2022.
With full health, too, Grandal could get to showcase his offensive contributions for the full six-month stretch of the regular season. "I think a lot of his value comes from what he does behind the plate," Hahn said. That limited his involvement in Cactus League games, particularly behind the dish, and he was upfront about it lingering into the regular season. But remarkably, Grandal, even after surgery, was back within a matter of weeks, and he exploded in his first game back with a pair of homers and eight RBIs. He's constantly held expectations in a White Sox uniform, plenty of fans non-plussed by what he did during the shortened 2020 campaign. Whether or not you would have supported that argument — José Abreu and Tim Anderson expectedly vied for the same title, and Luis Robert's scorching two months threw him into the conversation, as well — there's no doubting that Grandal's excellence in 2021 drove a stake through the heart of any lingering questions about the importance of a high batting average in today's game.
