Yadier Molina being allowed to “coach” this series is seriously one of the dumbest things I’ve seen in baseball this year. 

It was the only way they could get their fans to show up.

[BKHoo]

I am in pain just watching that!!!!!

[DYMNO]

Smoltz makes me want to pour molten lava into my ears. 

[Neuby]

I forgot Smotlz pitched for the Cards.

[Andy]

What on earth is John Smoltz talking about? "Why isn't anyone developing long relievers? The Dodgers can get any starter they want and they all got hurt, and they won the World Series."

I think you answered your own question, man.

[Eeyore]

That story just highlighted what a douche Smoltz is 

[Hot Sauce]

I would pay good money to be able to watch a TV broadcast with no commentary.

[Eeyore]

Dude in the banana suit needs to save some women for the rest of us

Yeah. It doesnt surprise me in the least that Smoltz did that to his rookie catcher teammate. Douche. 

[Eeyore]

[Hortonhearsawho]

This kid is already better than Angel Hernandez.

I just keep keep the volume low but yea it would be cool to just listen to the sounds of feeling like youre there.

I cant remember if it was NFL or College, think it was College, but they did it back in the 80s for a game.

[Eeyore]

Kicker for Jacksonville made a 70 yard field goal.

[Jason Ross]

Cam Smith - 95 wRC+

Matt Shaw - 91 wRC+

Just leaving this here. 

[BigSlick]

Thank you Cobs for bouncing back and heating all the bats up 

Loving to see all the Shaw goodness. Now PCA needs to heat up again.

[chibears55]

Cool, we get this kid ump now lol..

Guessing someone told him to stand in the aisle instead of in front of everyone in the seats to be annoying 😅😅😅😅

[CUBDOM4life]

This is one of the worst broadcasts I’ve watched in my entire life

[JHBulls]

National games are bloody brutal. And it’s not only having to listen to unfamiliar voices.

It worse when games are long and blowouts as they run out of things to really talk about so they come up with dumb stories

Apple TV letting you pick the local broadcast or their terrible announcers is choice.
