TBS Network criticized for poor broadcast, audio issues, & terrible announcers or commentators in Yankees game

It is usually one of the most anticipated games in baseball when the New York Yankees play. Their followers religiously watch their team and eagerly await the outcome of each game.

A good chunk of their supporters still recalls the memorable first pitch President George W. Bush delivered at Yankee Stadium during the 2001 World Series.

However, TBS Network viewers have strongly criticized them for a very poor broadcast during the Yankees game that completely ruined their viewing experience (1,2,3,4,5,6,7).

Twitter is filled with angry fans who are upset with the broadcast and claim it was one of the worst games ever televised.

They said that the commentators or announcers on the TBS Network were incredibly lethargic, and their voices lacked enthusiasm throughout the whole game.

Additionally, the game was also getting constantly interrupted by ads during crucial moments which made the whole viewing experience unpleasing for baseball fans.

The @TBSNetwork needs to get out the baseball production biz. It was the worst broadcast of a playoff game I ever watched. They made me sleepy until Bader and Rizzo went yard then they lulled me back to sleep after that.

Maybe for @Yankees/ @CleGuardians game 2 @TBSNetwork can provide free coffee to its broadcast team. That was the most depressing atmosphere I’ve experienced maybe ever for a playoff game.

The audio during the Yankees game aired on the TBS Network was yet another significant problem (1,2,3,4).

Fans say that the audio in the game was occasionally inaudible and extremely muffled. However, it was audible and clear throughout commercials and advertisements.

Watching the #Yankees playoff game on @TBSNetwork, and why is it that the audio on these commercial breaks is so much louder than the game audio? Haven’t touched any of my volume settings. Networks do this, but this is the most blatant example I’ve probably seen/heard yet.

It looks like TBS Network made a serious blunder that infuriated one of the greatest sports fan bases. Additionally, they have not yet commented on this issue or responded to those affected.

MLB has also received criticism, and fans are now urging them to switch broadcast partners going forward. We will update this story as events unfold.
