Nationals, Orioles announcers will travel with teams as MASN reverses course

The Mid-Atlantic Sports Network announced Tuesday that broadcasters for the Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles would begin traveling this week to call road games, a departure from the network’s early-season remote broadcasts.

The Washington Post reported last week on some of the problems with those broadcasts, from technical difficulties to commentary that lagged behind the video feed. MASN was an outlier; nearly all other regional sports networks covering baseball had returned their announcers to the road after mostly grounding them for the previous two seasons because of the pandemic.
