This is amazing.

I guess Buck gets pushed into a co-colour man for those 30 games.

What they should have done was give him all 162 + as many Raptors games a possible

Seriously though lets hope Shulman doesn't turn into another Devlin, who was so good with TNT and was told/forced to become a homer thus being something he really wasn't good at.

SN will take what it can get. If Shulman wanted to be doing 162 games for the Jays, it would have happened a long time ago. 30+ allows him to keep working for ESPN and doing SNB and NCAA ball.

Fantastic news. Shulman is one of the better play by play guys out there.

Estrada, now Shulman! Best. Off-season. Ever!!!!!!

C Court · Post #17 » by **C Court** » Thu Nov 19, 2015 6:28 pm

My initial thought was that Shulman would call the Jays games with Tabler that Matt Devlin called the past two seasons when Buck is away.

Wow, I've been hoping for Dan Shulman to come back for quite some time now. This is amazing news.
