Williams To Join MLB Network
Phillies Nation —
The MLB Network announced the hiring of Phillies Postgame Live analyst Mitch Williams. He will be the analyst for the 24-hour network’s signature show, “MLB Tonight,” which will compete with ESPN’s “Baseball Tonight.”
Joining Williams will be host Greg Amsinger and insider Jon Heyman of SI.com. They will also team up for “Hot Stove,” a nightly offseason show.
I would assume that means Williams is off the Comcast SportsNet roster. He was one of the better analysts I’ve seen in baseball, a guy who shoots straight and understands many facets of the game. Easily likable, he’ll translate well on the new network as ...
Mitch Williams Headed to MLB Network
The700Level.com - Philly Sports & Minutiae —
Mitch Williams, a tragic figure turned expert everyman in the annals of Philadelphia sports, has been hired by the soon-to-launch MLB Network. Mitchie Poo needs no introduction around these parts, so we'll save his resume and say that we think he's done a bang-up job on both Phillies Post Game Live and the WIP Morning Show. Along with Greg Amsinger and Jon Heyman, he'll be part of MLB's version of ESPN's Baseball Tonight, appropriately titled "MLB Tonight," as well as a nightly show in the off-season called "Hot Stove." If his new position means an end to either of his current roles, and it will likely have to for at least the Comcast gig, we'll miss him there. ...
Williams Falls Into New Job
We Should Be GM's —
It looks like Mitch Williams will follow in the footsteps of John Kruk and use Post Game Live as a stepping stone to a better job as he is set to join the brand new MLB Network. He joins another former Phillies lefty Dan Plesac on the network. Williams was always fun to watch on Comcast. Like his predecessors Kruk and Marzano, Williams was not only a knowledgeable analyst and competent communicator, he was a passionate Phillies fan who always seemed to be in tune with the emotions of the fan. He was straight shooting and entertaining, and he is a big loss for Comcast. But this isn't necessarily a loss for Phillies fans. It looks like he'll have a prominent ...
