...Just wait until the Olympics begin. If you're not a fan of Buck and Pat, but enjoy Dan Shulman, you won't be happy to hear this. The latter broadcaster will be calling the Canadian Men's and Women's Olympic basketball matches during the Games, which means (depending on the teams' successes) he could be gone from the Jays broadcasts for significant parts of July and August. And that includes if the Jays are allowed to come home from Buffalo.

"Obviously, we don’t know if the men are going to be able to qualify, but I’m doing the women’s games as well," Shulman told The Athletic. "They’re obviously a medal contender. It’s kind of a bucket-list thing for me to do."

Shulman isn't going to Toyko for the matches but will call them remotely from Toronto. But that means he won't be around for the Jays games, leaving it to the other two to handle all the contests in between. (Unless they call in Ben Wagner, last year's main radio man, to spell them.)

I have never been a fan of either Buck or Pat, and as noted on the board earlier, they appear to have no idea how to call a game for their radio as well as their TV audience.

Shulman was always the pro of the crew and the only one I really enjoyed listening to. His absence will be felt and even for a few weeks, will make an already long baseball season feel that much longer.
