File this entire post under 'highly speculative'...

FWIW, if it is to be an MLB Network package and the amount of letters bleeped out as ****** ******* and *** ***** actually do indicate the amount of letters in the names (they may have only realized after the fact how easily OS would inevitably decipher this and are now trying to divert, lol), the only fits that I see on the MLB Network website are Lauren Shehadi and Dan O'Dowd. Not sure what to make of that, if anything. That might not mean anything per Ramone's tweet that the amount of bleeped out letters are meaningless. It does seem slightly odd that they'd randomly pick a 6 letter/7 letter name and a 3 letter/5 letter name as opposed to simply not using stars at all. Unless, of course, they got a kick out of trolling. For all the abuse they take, I certainly wouldn't mind!

Another 6 letter/7 letter name they're already using for the radio show is Justin Allegri, but it wouldn't really make sense to take him off the radio show and put him in "in the booth" with another pbp guy in Vasgersian.

Anyway, if Shehadi and O'Dowd are the new additions, it might mean that Lyons and Karros are staying in the booth and they've added a studio show of some kind ala the NCAA Football series with Rece Davis and David Pollack. However, if they did simply add a studio show and without replacing any commentators, the text on the release schedule about "join the booth..." wouldn't really make sense.

I feel like replacing both Steve Lyons and Eric Karros, as little as they added, with brand new talent in a single dev cycle would be pretty hardcore. You'd imagine they'd need more time to build up enough lines for adding a new voice (or two) to the booth. So, either they went hardcore and knocked it out in a few months, or they've been working on it for much longer, or the number of lines might end up being pretty limited for the new talent.

I played something similar as a kid, only it had a dot matrix display. Slugfest was so damn fun trying to hit the heckler.

To be honest I would love to have a female in the booth, either Heidi Watney or Lauren Shehadi. Both of these ladies really seem to care about and know Baseball. I think they would add a breath of fresh air.

I don't think they will ever get rid of Matt. Which I am fine with. They have spent so much time and effort, especially on OS, to build up the name files in this game. If they cut Matt loose they would have to start over and that would be a shame. There are a lot of us on here that have their names in this game solely because of the Developers presence on these forums and I would hate to loose that.
