Why would TBS hire Keith Olberclown to do anything with their coverage?? I cannot hear him speak without remembering his Anti-American rants.

Olby was awful last night. Years of spewing liberal claptrap have left his sports announcing skill seriously rusty.

That said, I don't fault the pregame show. The national anthem and first pitch are usually not shown for baseball games, although as I recall they generally do show them for the World Series.

I refuse to watch TBS Pre-game show. I knew they had hired him, the worst of the worst.

Even knowing that that execrable piece of shite has ANYTHING, even tangentially, to do with ANY PART of the Bucs' postseason makes my skin crawl.

I'll throw an extra $100 into the FReepathon if anyone near enough to do so would kindly deliver a good ass kickin' to that maggot !

Not only did NOT see the announcement of the players, we also missed the singing of the National Anthem by Andrew McCutcheon’s mom. She has an incredible voice, and has sung it before at PNC PARK. The nicest part was during one of her times singing, the camera (RootSportsPIT) briefly cut to Cutch who had teared up watching his mom sing. Quite a moment (he’s the real deal, you can tell that when you see his parents interviewed).

That was much more important than Kieffy & Kompany pontificating.

Too bad the Baseball Writers will most likely pick McCutchen over Goldschmidt for MVP.

Goldies numbers dwarf his.
