My favorite teams
I can't stand national TV announcers....I watch with the sound off, so I didn't hear that.
On a different note when did national broadcasts get so bad? The careful scripting of the storylines makes for announcers that talk over plays, praise players at inappropriate times and when the storyline flips, as it often does in baseball, these guys are lost. When Fowler went out and Almora came in they flat out admitted they hadn't prepared to talk about Almora. Baseball is an ever changing game of moments and doesn't lend itself well to scripting. Is it too much to ask for announcers to roll with the punches and describe what they're seeing as opposed to what they thought they'd see. Shit, at very least fake it.
We noticed that, too. They also weren't very quick with replay at important moments. Absolutely terrible broadcasting and they have the WS. Hopefully, they get better.
They won't. It's Fox...no one of any significance works for Fox. It's easier to either watch in silence or sync up with the radio call.
