Is the audio dead for anyone else? 
Edit: Switched over to the Padres feed. Audio is working on there.

Padres feed is working fine. 

[cl smooth]

i put on the cubs radio feed (wscr) and i hear boog's enchanting voice. 

[CubinNY]

I’m on the MLB app on my phone trying to listen to Pat and Ron and I have the TV feed. Anyone else?

[DYMNO]

For those of you not keen on the Padres broadcasters, audio seems to be working again.

I wasn’t keen on it, then I heard Sutcliffe again and I am rethinking that stance lol.

Yeah, the same thing is happening here. Getting the TV feed even though the radio feed has been selected. In fact, selected the Spanish feed and the TV feed kicked in. Must be internal issue tonight.

I'd rather listen to Zach Zaidman on play by play AND color than listen to Sutcliffe

Definitely a deserving demotion, though replacing him with Brujan is suspect 

I thought it was a joke too.

Boog must love working with Sutcliffe. All he needs to do is call balls and strikes, and then sit back while Sutcliffe uses 175 words to say something that could have been said in 15 words.

Sutcliffe's MLB Announcer Statcast page has him in the 99% of words used, while being in the bottom 5% for relevant words used. It's astounding.

Damn, there is literally a MLB stat for everything.

Working with Sut has to be the closest thing I deal with on a daily basis with my middle schoolers. I love them dearly, but the amount of nonsensical stories that I'm told, and the amount of times I just want to say "Can you just shut the horsefeathers up now so we can all get to work?" Has to mirror what Boog goes through.

Unpopular opinion but I love Sutcliffe, he's funny.  He's a meathead but he's our meathead

I am sure Sut means well, but yeah, his constant stories is probably enough for Boog to want to jump out of the booth and run away.

Oh I'm sure he does. He's just a bit much for me. It makes me appreciate JD and Ron Coomer. Both seem to have a better sense of when to talk and when to not. Sut comes off on air as feeling the need to fill every moment with noise. 

In baseball world, Shota really struggled that inning and still went through the teeth of the Padres with the bases loaded. I love him.

[Derwood]

As I said last night:

1. Sutcliffe loves to hear himself speak and dominates the broadcast

2. Is confidently wrong about a lot of things

I am more and more convinced Rick Sutcliffe is just a big 13-year-old. If he also believes axe-body-spray is a substitute for not taking a shower for three days, then they'll be one-in-the-same.

[We Got The Whole 9]

I thought this guy is the worst SP in baseball

Hes pretty terrible, yeah. 

Clearly we have played Yamamoto, Sasaki, Cease, Gallen and other studs so often that we believe beating up on this guy is beneath us and will thus wait until the Padres challenge our offense properly.

[JHBulls]

At the risk of someone posting the exact wind speed change at the exact moment that Tucker missed getting to the baseball, but I definitely thought Tucker had it. Looked like a bad read and he should have caught it.

Big balls

[chibears55]

Be nice to see some offense,  don't need 10 runs, maybe 3 or 4 will do
