Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse …
The TBS broadcast team of Bob Costas, Ron Darling, and Jon Morosi has been a hot topic of conversation throughout this week’s ALDS matchup between the Kansas City Royals and New York Yankees.
For starters, the Major League Baseball replay system and camera angles left fans very displeased and perplexed. Gleyber Torres hit a ball down the right field line, a call that could have gone either way was deemed foul at the moment.
Manager Aaron Boone quickly challenged the call, but the review process only deepened the frustration. The replay angles shown to fans on the broadcast were obstructed by the right field foul pole, offering a terrible vantage point to assess the play.
The inability to get a proper angle made the challenge feel futile, raising questions about the camera work used in video replay during such critical moments.
As for the broadcast itself, the crew once again sparked debate Wednesday night at Kauffman Stadium. For the entire bottom of the third inning, Morosi interviewed Royals legend George Brett and took the focus away from the game. While Brett is a Hall of Famer, the interview felt out of place during a tightly contested playoff matchup.
Waldman pointed out that while the conversation with Brett was undoubtedly insightful, its length felt misplaced during a critical playoff game. This sentiment echoed throughout social media, where fans expressed frustration over the decision. The interview timing distracted from the intensity of the game.
In the top of the fourth inning, the Yankees would score first with a Stanton RBI double to left center field. The camera angle on the broadcast left fans confused and curious, and rightfully so. For those few moments, what should have been a thrilling moment was ruined. TBS showed a first-base side view of Soto sliding into home, leaving fans with barely any angle to see the play unfold.
Oh yeah, great call there, Bob Costas. This was almost mistaken for an absolutely meaningless occurrence during a tense 0-0 game.
We hate to inform you that TBS will also be broadcasting the ALCS, so if the Yankees make it, we can’t say it’ll be enjoyable, whether it’s the same crew or not. Clearly, the network is incapable of doing this properly.
And if the Bombers blow this 2-1 lead? Sure, the misery will set in, but the silver lining will be not having to potentially watch seven games of this. Best to mute and either listen to the radio broadcast or pump some tunes because this is no what anybody signed up for.
