If you’re here, it probably means you’re wondering why you aren’t hearing the voice of Joe Buck on FOX calling the first game of the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves NLDS series on Tuesday.
It’s Joe Davis on the mic for the play-by-play, for the record. But if you’re asking? We have an answer.
Buck left FOX for ESPN, where he’s calling Monday Night Football. That means he’s no longer calling baseball for ESPN or, of course, FOX.
Buck did say back in May that it’s the first time since he was 18 years old that he won’t be calling a baseball. Via Awful Announcing:
“This is the first time since I was 18-years-old, and I’m 53, that I’m not doing a baseball game. And that’s really weird to me, but I walk away really proud of what I and we did. It’s time for somebody else, it’s time for somebody else to put their voice to it, and I’m glad to get out of the way for Joe and watch him do it because he’ll be great.”
