A quick primer on who'll be at the mics for the Detroit Tigers on Fox Sports Detroit this season. Kirkland Crawford, Detroit Free Press
An official scorer in baseball gets 24 hours to change his or her mind on decisions, such as whether a batter reached base on a hit or an error.
But I’m not a scorer. I’m a sports writer. And sports writers aren’t exactly known for making deadline. (Just ask my editors.) So I’m granting myself a generous extension of three months to change my initial call on Matt Shepard.
In October, I wrote that Fox Sports Detroit would hit a solid single if it hired Shep as its new play-by-play announcer for the Detroit Tigers.
