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.

Every pregame - "Wow no way the Dodgers lose this one" and everyone picks the Dodgers to win.

Every postgame - "Wow this Brewers team is good"

u/EyesofEther Milwaukee Brewers 2h ago

I hope they keep picking against us because it's working haha

u/GareksApprentice San Diego Padres • Anaheim Angels 2h ago

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.

u/jammagethejammage Milwaukee Brewers 3h ago

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

4

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)

7

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

3

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.

u/eggsmackers Baltimore Orioles 3h ago

It's fine.

u/dodgers22fan World Baseball Classic 3h ago

When an O’s fan is ok with Jeter, ARod, and Ortiz, you know it’s actually fine.

u/beheemz Toronto Blue Jays 3h ago

yeah like, i enjoyed watching Ortiz and the other two so much last year after the games were over

The Dodgers pay all this money for their team and can't even beat the Brewers.

You’re the one fan base that gets to talk shit right now, so yeah, go ahead and talk your shit.

u/slickwilliefitz Boston Red Sox 2h ago

And your payroll has like tripled in that time, and you’re still getting your asses stomped in the playoffs

-1

u/Ok-Rhubarb-9058 Los Angeles Dodgers 2h ago

Weird you reference getting your asses stomped in the playoffs, feels like y’all have done more of that recently than us.

1

u/slickwilliefitz Boston Red Sox 2h ago

You say that while you’re in the midst of getting your ass stomped. Ours was only two games. We also didn’t have nearly the same expectations this year. Enjoy the new CBA!

u/Ok-Rhubarb-9058 Los Angeles Dodgers 2h ago

You didn’t get the opportunity to play more games. Sit down.

u/Guilty_Pineapple_557 Houston Astros 3h ago

It's okay

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

They're the Inside the NBA of MLB imho

20

u/Ok-Soil-5133 Baltimore Orioles • Atlanta Braves 2h ago

Papi's trolling of Jeter and A Rod when the Yankees get eliminated every year is enough on its own

u/Guilty_Pineapple_557 Houston Astros 2h ago

OH THAT I LOVE

IT'S A YEARLY TRADITION

u/redhouse_356 Los Angeles Dodgers 3h ago

I love it. Has a lot of “Inside the NBA” vibes. Extensive championship and playoff experience. They know Baseball. Ima stfu and listen.

u/Bblueshirtguy 3h ago

All these Dodgers fan posts are making me not watch baseball

19

u/wirsteve Milwaukee Brewers 3h ago

The takes are very lazy and casual.

I really want more detailed and baseball player level stuff out of those guys.

15

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!

3

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!

Maybe someone does and this is their cry for help!! Can anyone go check?

u/2outhits San Francisco Giants 2h ago

We should form a posse to make sure this one person isn't being held hostage and forced to watch the post-game.

u/Electrical_Chart_477 Athletics 3h ago

Hearing those guys talk about the alcs after I just explained to my wife for five minutes about the significance of Roberts coaching down 3-0 was amazing lol

if there is a worse network postgame show

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

u/ThatNewSockFeel Milwaukee Brewers 3h ago

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.

2

u/Guilty_Pineapple_557 Houston Astros 3h ago

Idk about MLB Network for that

Although honestly I keep it on in the background

TBS though - Pedro Martinez is pretty funny if you ask me
