Most of Southern California will finally be able to watch Dodgers games on Spectrum SportsNet LA. What fans will see are the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dodgers broadcasters Joe Davis and Orel Hershiser have bridged their generation gap to become a formidable team in the booth.Without fans to provide organic noise, Davis said he and Hershiser will have to change their formula, reducing their periods of silence in big moments without fans present to provide organic noise.

“There’s going to be crowd noise pumped in but it’s not going to be the same,” Davis said. “I don’t think there’s any way for anybody to truly appreciate how weird it’s going to be.”also won’t travel with the team. She will be based in a mini studio in a suite down the hall from Davis’ and Hershiser’s booth. She’ll have clearance to roam the ballpark a bit during home games but won’t sit down near the dugout as in previous years.

“I think the biggest thing is it’s just so impersonal now,” Rizzo said. “The relationship building and personality and reading body language and tone and voice and everything is out the equation now because we’re all interviewing through a computer screen. And I think that really takes out the personal element of being a reporter.”

Like Joe Davis and Orel Hershiser, Dodgers reporter Alanna Rizzo won’t travel with the team. She will be based in a mini studio in a suite down the hall from Davis and Hershiser’s booth. It will be a trial by error those involved believe will improve with repetitions and creativity. The Dodgers and other clubs hope to experiment to enhance broadcasts, with different camera angles and miking players among the ideas on the table. For now, just getting back to the ballpark to provide its larger audience baseball games will be enough.“All those things that we need and that we want, anytime I get stressed out about it, I just think to myself, ‘It’s better than nothing,’ ” Davis said.
