@jackshafer @the_60s_at_60 Except for a remotely written Nats story by a new staffer, entire WaPo Sports section today is wire copy — and section has been devoid of sports columnists since Barry Svrluga signed off at the end of the Winter Olympics.

Wire service stories or reprints from other newspapers used to be Washington Post rarities. I count at least 17 in the Sunday Post.

@farhip @washingtonpost A lack of a dateline in the reporter’s story suggests she’s covering the opening series from home & is not in Chicago at Wrigley Field. Modern tech means being able to report remotely. Meanwhile, former WaPo Nats writer Spencer Nusbaum, now with The Athletic, is writing on site.

@BenRothenberg I guess they want to start the men’s final on time at 3 pm in case there’s more rain? Very unfair to the women’s doubles finalists. What about the fans? 🎾 Do better! 🎾 #MiamiOpen

No. 50 Magda Linette of Poland has been forced to withdraw from #CharlestonOpen with a viral illness. A Qualifier/Lucky Loser to be determined will take her place in the main draw. “I’m sorry I have to withdraw as this is definitely one of my favorite tournaments.” 🎾 #tennis

@Bruce_Jenkins1 It makes no sense, that’s for sure! Then, let’s send the Giants to San Diego for three games and bring them right back home for a week. But definitely, a Sunday off in the first week of the season is just plain odd.

Nice MLB scheduling for a Sunday. Giants and Dodgers don't play.

@thegymslam My pet peeve with ESPN is they typically talk over floor ex routines and the sound mix of the music is usually muddy. By comparison, the sound mix on the Big Ten Network is superior — very clear — and Olivia Karas knows not to talk over a Jordan Chiles perfect 10 routine!

@plattMSP @unstadj I think what’s proving to be a game changer for many newspapers is providing a quality web presence where it can be a 24/7 news source for news. Before the fallout at WaPo, I often read a lot of sports features online a day or two before they found their home in the print.

It is amazing that the Strib is now the largest regional newspaper by circ outside the NY metro area but we should note this is PRINT only. My guess is the Strib is seeing a fairly big erosion of print since its move to Iowa printing and early deadlines, but the real key is total circ.

@KevG163 Jon Miller has been the San Francisco Giants radio play by play announcer since 1997 and still does a handful of Giants games on TV each season. He’s still at the top of his game. It was enjoyable to hear him on the radio last night during the Giants-Yankees season opener. ⚾️

@KyleBaileyClub When you’re seen only from the chest up on TV, I think you’ll be surprised by the number of anchors who wear jeans or shorts with their suit coat and tie. The sneakers are for comfort — especially if you’re standing on your feet a lot.

@josemorgado Sinner and Tiafoe have had more rest since they played day session on Tuesday. It enables European TV audience to see Sinner in evening. I’m sure they wanted to sell more day session tickets, too.
