The Bay Area’s baseball broadcast teams are playing a bit shorthanded this weekend.
With Duane and Glen Kuiper back home in Wisconsin for their father’s funeral service, NBC Sports Bay Area has been making use of its deep bench.
On Sunday afternoon’s broadcast of the Giants’ game at the Diamondbacks, Jon Miller will be working in a two-man booth for NBCSBA along with longtime Giants color analyst Mike Krukow.
There won’t be the customary TV/radio crossover with KNBR, though, as the radio booth is also affected by missing parts. Dave Flemming is away in Williamsport, Pennsylvania for the Little League World Series, meaning San Jose Giants play-by-play man Joe Ritzo steps up to the mic on the radio call alongside former Giants pitcher Shawn Estes.
