Did anyone else notice the remote controlled cameras near the bowlers seats (On top of the ball return)?
Guess this does away with the live cameraman in the face of the bowlers.
Looks like it works pretty neat too!

Enjoy the show everyone,

Post by: a_ak57 on April 02, 2006, 12:18:19 PM: Yeah, I saw a camera on top of the ball return spin around during the approach, and I was like WTF? Kind of neat.

Also nice to see Norm bringing some intelligence to combat Dave Ryan.

Post by: DRUFER on April 02, 2006, 12:42:03 PM: yeah PDW was usign a paradigm, but the remote camrea showed a PYRO on the rack too. i belive he used that after the match was locked up by allen.

Post by: Fatboy8 on April 02, 2006, 12:58:41 PM: Pederson done bowling? Taking a full time job with Storm? Anyone else catch that? Says he'll do the show if they want him back though, just done bowling.

I heard that as well... Is that why Norm is on the show, is it a test run perhaps?

Post by: Fatboy8 on April 02, 2006, 01:25:44 PM: I really like him on the telecast and watching him bowl. Some don't, but he's good at what he does.

Post by: guzmand19 on April 02, 2006, 01:39:28 PM: I also heard Pedersen say he was all done, that this was his last year. Thats why Chris Barnes said "Sorry Randy", was because Barnes told Pedersen he'd win this one for Randy.

To be honest I'd love to see Pedersen be the full play by play guy. He is pretty chatty, and has enough smarts/humor to pull it off. I don't care for Pedersen the bowler, but you can tell he actually loves what he does. I think Normie and Voss can handle the color duties. Dave Ryan has not nor will he ever entertain me.

Post by: Fatboy8 on April 02, 2006, 03:24:26 PM: The first shot Barnes threw, the one out by the gutter, I think rattled him up. That was as near a gutter as it gets, but saved it.

Post by: tonybowls on April 02, 2006, 04:48:59 PM: Duke never adds much to the telecast, I'm not sure why they keep putting a microphone in front of him.

Post by: wizard on April 02, 2006, 07:33:05 PM: norm was terrible today........it is what it is
Title: Re: PBA TV Day Post & Spoiler: Great Lakes Classic 4/02/2006
Post by: Fatboy8 on April 02, 2006, 07:45:24 PM: Norm just doesn't seem loose and natural behind the mic. Randy really knows his stuff, and Dave Ryan just covers alot of sports bowling being one of them, and Randy gives the tech stuff.

I don't see Duke being permanent until he's done bowling. Being on T.V. 7 or so times this year doesn't look like he's ready to hang it up yet.

Post by: Next Level PS on April 02, 2006, 08:56:07 PM: Freakin BARNES!!! I always bet on this guy, I put the shop up on him and I always lose! I guess having the best game on the planet doesn't mean "SIT" especially when you don't have heart, brains and luck. At the end of the day i think whats hurting him is that he's missing Rick Benoit behind him, No disrepect to Chuck Gardener but Rick had this guy on route to something special.... Oh well what the hell I know.

Post by: guzmand19 on April 03, 2006, 07:09:01 AM: Hey Fluffer, PDW was motioning to the kid or whomever that it was "ok" he caused him to flinch, because he still struck. Thats why you saw him making the X gesture. The camera's showed Weber mouthing "its ok" and making the hand gesture and then making the X

I didn't see the "its ok" mouthing...i was a little too far away I guess. All i saw was the hand gestures and him shaking his head.

Post by: Platinum Bowler on April 05, 2006, 04:29:02 PM: Just watched the show....and I thought it was awesome! The format was great, and I loved the camera on the ball return...it showed some great angles. Also I liked how they showed a little bit of the match play rounds (Barnes and PDW), showing what it is like on Friday nights. Anyways, I hope all of this is new and is going to continue, and wasnt just a test.
