I disagree. If you're watching the game on television already, the game is already unfolding before your eyes. What adds flavor to what you're seeing is the added commentary from interesting personalities who have something more to say than what is happening.

Interesting take. When I'm watching a game, the last thing I want is "interesting personalities"... I just want to hear a straightforward account of what's happening (play-by-play) and minimal commentary from someone who can add their insight on what's happening. This is why the Mets booth is the best in the business and John Smoltz is the absolute worst. (Is there no one at Fox who can pass him a note saying "shut the f*** up" once in awhile?)

But Costas does none of those things either. He rambles on about events from 20 to 30 years ago and doesn't seem to even know some player's names.

At least the Costas haters got their wish: he's out for the ALCS.

Earlier this season there was a random game on FS1 or one of those off networks. Rays vs someone. For 2 or 3 innings there was a problem with the audio from the booth announcers.
It was beautiful! Just the sounds of the game. No blah blah. No crazy split screens with exit velocities and launch angles either. Just the simple game - nothing more. The letdown came 20 minutes later and I turned the channel.
