As the lead producer for NBC Sports’ “MLB Sunday Leadoff,” Matt Borzello is on the road every weekend. But considering the package gives Peacock, NBC’s streaming service, the first game of the day, Borzello’s travels are limited.
“I’d love to be able to go out west,” he said, “but nobody on the West Coast wants an 8:30 or 9 a.m. start.”
That’s about when the first pitch is thrown in Pacific time for most of the games, which is why the schedule is heavy with East Coast hosts. But “Sunday Leadoff” will make a rare stop in the Central Time Zone, and its first at Wrigley Field, this week when the Cubs host the Orioles at 12:05 p.
