holy shit kwan earning another gold glove with one catch 
This isnāt going to end well if the Royals keep walking hittersā¦
SALVY!!!
Keep the line moving!
Costas is Must Miss TV.
He annoys the fuck out of me, always has. And people love him.
Does anyone under 60 love him? Seems like heās getting roasted everywhere, and has been the for the last couple of post-seasons. Iām fine with him, but it does seem like an announcer from a bygone era has been dropped into 2024.
My favorite post-season/national broadcaster complaint is when each teamās fans whine that the announcers are rooting against them. Which is virtually never the case.
Heās so smug and holier than thou.
Boog Sciambi actually made that joke in Game 1 of the Mets/Brewers series. Something like, āHi, weāre the announcers who are rooting against your team.ā
Costas gets overly dramatic, but he and Darling are a better team than the clowns covering the Mets/Phils.
I like Darling somehow, and generally am not into that type of color guy.
Costas is just too buttoned up evening news type and does have a very punchable voice. Donāt hate him but itās def sleepy.
āHeās rooting against my teamā side might have a point:

he was sooo disappointed yikes
Itās such a weird call because thereās energy for the pick and the throw to second, and then he just deflates on the second out. He shouldāve let the analyst call it - Ronnie was probably pumped lol.
And tbf, youāre not a āface of baseballā when 50% of baseball fans wouldnāt know who you were if you were alone in a room with them. Great player =! āface of the gameā.
That was embarrassing. And I generally stan for Costas.

I think more than 50% of serious baseball fans would recognize Witt. He has the family pedigree and he looks fairly distinctive.
Costas made the call at the tail end of a point he was making about Stanton being hobbled, so the DP played into his point (though he did say it wasnāt Stantonās fault, which was, I guess, a nod to Wittās fine-but-not-earth-shattering play).
Witt being āa face of baseballā is LOL. Heās a faceābut not even THE faceāof his team.
I meant to bring this up after the Profar catch, but it made me think about how I have, on multiple occasions, consciously thought about how I would try to act as a fan in those situations.
Which would be, best I could, to legally faceguard/block the opposing fielder along the plane of the fence so that they could not reach the ball. Iām sure Iāll never find myself in that situation, but Iāve always wondered why we essentially never see fans consciously do that, versus mindlessly go for the ball and get beat out by the fielder. If the fans in the front row simply block the path of Profarās arm, or push it back, itās a home run. The part that would be tricky is trying to avoid being injured by the baseball since youāre making no attempt to catch it.
