Fox baseball postgame is the worst.
As the title suggests if there is a worse network postgame show wasting big money on cringe announcers in any sport I’d love you to tell me. So dry and awkward. Yuk.

That was the last time I can remember baseball truly being in the popular zeitgeist. I remember going to Disneyland during that time, the parking lot tram driver giving score updates and everyone acting astonished.

They do it every post season when a team is down 0-3 in an LCS. And it's always "if any team can do it, it's this team" 🤮 so played out

u/ACatEatingAWaffle Los Angeles Dodgers 3h ago
It’s alright we got Dave Roberts (he totally isn’t part of the reason we’re losing the series)

u/jammagethejammage Milwaukee Brewers 2h ago
I mean... Snell had never given up back to back jackos to lefties before, you don't really expect that. But yeah he hasn't had the best series.
1
u/ACatEatingAWaffle Los Angeles Dodgers 2h ago
Was the wrong move to not have a guy at least warming up, tbf brewers are obviously the hottest and best team in baseball rn but it really feels like Roberts isn’t even trying to put up a fight

u/Whatsdota Milwaukee Brewers 2h ago
If these were close games I could maybe see it. But the Brewers have basically had a stranglehold on the Dodgers and pretty much the only runs they’ve gotten have come off Brewers miscues.

Burkhardt, A-Rod, Big Papi and Jeter are an entertaining bunch imo

u/Dazzling_Vanilla3082 Milwaukee Brewers 3h ago
I think this is what bugs me the most. There's only like a minute or two of actual analysis, the rest is just the interview(s) and talking points. If you've seen one, you've seen them all.
13
u/BringItOnHome_ATL Atlanta Braves 3h ago
TBS postgame is infinitely better. Pedro and Rollins have a lot of interesting insights in particular.
Most of Fox is slapstick with even the most basic analysis as a bug not a feature.
15
u/Dazzling_Vanilla3082 Milwaukee Brewers 2h ago
TBS announcers are also just better. I'll admit that I'm bias for BA, but listening to to his games, he calls big plays like he calls big plays. Can't hear the disappointment in his voice like you can with Davis and Smoltz.
5
u/BringItOnHome_ATL Atlanta Braves 2h ago
BA was great for us in the 2021 NLCS especially, absolutely epic calls. A shame he doesn’t get to do the WS.
Best of luck to your team! I’m pulling hard for you guys to win it all.
2
u/Dazzling_Vanilla3082 Milwaukee Brewers 2h ago
He really is one of the best PxP guys in the game and is just good at what he does. It's really a travesty that Fox has the world series broadcasts lol.
And thanks! I'm ever pessimistic with our team in the postseason, but after going up 2-0 in the NLCS, I finally hit the full buy in mode, and they won game 3. This team has proven me wrong time and time again this year and this postseason. We are hot with the entire lineup putting in work. Let's fucking go!

u/BringItOnHome_ATL Atlanta Braves 2h ago
Have faith! You’ve got William! He’s been here before and has guts for days.
I’m heartbroken he isn’t still on my team, but I’m thrilled he’s done so well there. He’s a gem and I really believe he’ll lead you guys to a ring. Go Brewers!

It'll be whatever national postgame show you watch next, which will then be overtaken by the one you watch after that.

It’s fine. I find it less annoying than TBS.
They all kind of suck though and it’s best use is as background noise. If you want actual detailed analysis and thoughtful discussion you aren’t getting it from a network postgame.

Although honestly I keep it on in the background
TBS though - Pedro Martinez is pretty funny if you ask me

Every postgame - "Wow this Brewers team is good"
