1. Ernie Johnson Jr should not be calling games. Too many announcing errors throughout his coverage. 2. The TBS scoreboard is roughly 25% too big for my liking, please nerf that. 3. The TBS scoreboard lacks pitch counts. 4. The tbsstrikezone takes up too much of the screen, and it's also much less accurate compared to ESPN's. 5. The TBS graphs are not accurate, and some of the graphics errors are almost meme levels.

To add a few IMO: 6. The sound quality is atrocious. 7. Why would you make a playoff crowd quiet? They're supposed to be loud. 8. Cameras weren't set up properly in terms of lighting OR angles.

TBH I would much prefer Reynolds over this trash. These announcers are biased, incompetent, and make more errors than Donaldson did in September 😂😂😂

"These announcers are biased" i've personally thought they've been calling a fair game, but ok.

I'll admit I've only heard that from others since IM NEVER AT HOME DURING THE GAMES T_T But what I heard was when Travis(?) was called safe sliding into second the announcer went "ahh", like he was disappointed he wasn't called out. Still at least FS1 managed to pretty much nail everything other than stupid commentary mistakes perfectly in their broadcasts.

not sure who it is, but there's one guy in the announcing crew who obviously has not played baseball since he was 5. the announcing for the series is mediocre at best, but at least they're fair. heck, even ESPN would be better.

We clearly need Orbit to announce this game. He's pretty funny IMO.

Idk who to complain to about this but having the rangers do 2 straight noon games is a load of crap.

they get hyped on indians HRs honestly, legit when holt,leon, and benintendi got hrs, they said nothing. Pretty sure "biasness" is definitely a thing from these announcers, orsillo should BE ANNOUNCIN TO EVEN IT OUT

"8. Cameras weren't set up properly in terms of lighting OR angles." the lighting is just fine, its whoever the shader is doesn't know how to white balance or color correct to the stadium and natural lighting for every camera

As long as Harold Reynolds isn't involved it's all good with me

"blame canada" Actually I'm pretty sure they do this because it's the 1-4 matchup and it's not supposed to be as exciting as the 2-3. Could be wrong though. I don't think they'd put a 2-3 in the middle of the afternoon like that, regardless.

@bens It's because they only care about getting maximum AMERICAN TV ratings. RIP Koolboy123, Oct. 1, 1992-Apr. 27, 2016 ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ

International views don't matter at all. For this series TBS sold the TV coverage rights to Rogers. Meaning that TBS deals with the raw visuals, and Rogers will cover that in their graphics and use their own commentary.

Really Ron Darling is the only good part of the TBS broadcast team, if only we had Keith Hernandez and Gary Cohen.... Then it would be good.

if mlb was looking for ratings they'd put giants-cubs on fs1 again instead of a channel maybe a third of the country gets in mlb network
