Bally Sports Ohio often shows a ceremonial first pitch ahead of a Cincinnati Reds' home game after the fact, but fans were hoping they'd make an exception with Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow throwing out the first pitch to head coach Zac Taylor in advance of the Reds' home opener Tuesday against the Cleveland Guardians on Opening Day.
Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase's presentation of the National League Rookie of the Year award to the Reds' Jonathan India also wasn't shown live.
Bally Sports Ohio showed Burrow's first pitch and Chase's award presentation about 15 minutes after Reds starter Tyler Mahle's first pitch of the game.
