Rick Sutcliffe Pulled From Tonight’s ESPN Baseball Coverage

ESPN has removed MLB analyst Rick Sutcliffe from tonight’s Red Sox-Orioles telecast and replaced him with Steve Phillips, according to a source cited by Teddy Greenstein of the CHICAGO TRIBUNE. Sutcliffe apologized last week for giving an interview while intoxicated during Channel 4 San Diego’s telecast on Wednesday of Brewers-Padres. Sutcliffe, who works one game per week for ESPN, “is expected back in the booth May 22 for the Yankees-Red Sox game.” The source “didn’t know whether the one-game suspension would be paid or unpaid” (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 5/13).
