Temu Brian Anderson sucks

Only good thing about an off day is we don’t have to hear “IT DOES NOT HIT THE RING” on every single pop-up.

I miss Dwayne and the real BA.

I know that this is an unpopular opinion but the announcers are fine. Here are a few things that I see all the time with every fan base:

When we lose it’s the coach/manager that was at fault. Fire them!

National broadcast announcers hate our team and are biased against it!

Our team gets no respect in the national media!

I really don’t think them saying “it does not hit the ring” on every fly ball or getting players names wrong or saying shit like “the new roof will be retractable” or “the Yankees made four errors in game 1” is good announcing. 

It’s factually incorrect stuff and careless, unprofessional blunders paired with the inability to be creative about how they talk about the game. 

One mistake? No big deal. Multiple a game? They need to focus.

Two thing that bother me, otherwise I think largely they've been fine.

1. The ring commentary - totally in agreement with you. Given how many fly balls there are, its actually somewhat unusual for the rings to be involved. Its not common enough to warrant commentary every time.

2. I dont need to know how many batters away Jose Ramirez is every single at bat and after Jose Ramirez is out, I dont need to be reminded how relieved the pitcher must be and what a HUGE out that was. I understand they are just trying to highlight the best players, and Ramiez is an all timer... damn, its not prime Bonds. Take a deep breath.

But yea, otherwise, I think theyve been balanced and done a good job.

I guess I’m just not that into analyzing the announcers as much as I’m into watching the game. I didn’t even notice any of that. The announcers are telling me what I need to know and that’s good enough for me. But I can see why mistakes would bother you.

[u/Hacym → u/Critical-Shoulder873]

I don't think you really have to analyze the announcers, just listen. It’s jarring when you hear them say the wrong name, for example.  

Being brain dead and factually inaccurate to a large national audience is a bad look for TBS and the announcing crew. I know Dwayne and BA have their own stuff, but to be the crew tasked with calling big games should probably mean you know each player’s name.

I agree with the other comments, it’s clear to me they just don’t care about the rays. And there were a few times they basically openly admitted to wanting the Yankees to win during the ALDS.
