I was surprised that Schriffen got the job replacing Jason Benetti as the principal TV voice of the Chicago White Sox, but even more surprised how raw he sounded in his first season on the job. It sounded as if Schriffen's lack of baseball broadcast experience was crystal clear. It also didn't help that Schriffen didn't seem to take the criticism from 670 AM The SCORE very well at all.
Like the Sox on the field, Schriffen has no place to go but up and he hopes to improve considerably as the team relocates their broadcasts to CHSN this spring & summer.
Speaking of CHSN, David Haugh has entered a place that I don't think he'd like to be in. That category is overexposure.
It's one thing to hear and see him co-host 670 AM The SCORE's popular "Mully & Haugh Show" with Mike Mulligan every weekday morning. It's another that he's co-hosting 2 other daily shows on CHSN in "The BIG Pro Football Show" with ex-NBC 5 sports anchor/reporter Ruthie Polinsky & former NFL tight end Clay Harbor followed immediately by "The Chicago Lead" that also features Brooke Fletcher & Camron Smith, formerly of Stadium Network. With all due respect to Haugh, CHSN bosses should have tapped into other Chicago sports media talent to co-host the other daily shows on their schedule. Haugh's SCORE teammate, Gabe Ramirez, has been subbing for Fletcher the last couple days as Brooke is about to get married this weekend. Sorry, guys.
Coincidentally, is it just me or is CHSN's set at United Center similar to the one on Stadium?
