*If necessary
Very disappointed with MLB Detroit/New York telecast. The sport casters were ennamered so much with the Yankees that they did not even do most of the play by play. I was away from the TV, listening, but was unable to tell who was at bat,what was happening. One time a ball was hit by an unknown player & they were showing what was happening in the Yankee dug out. Come on, lets be a little more impartical.Or get someone for each team. Very disappointing for a Tiger fan.
Rangers vs Tampa Bay
Turn the fan noise DOWN!!! We cannot hear anything the announcers are saying!!!!!
Tigers in five.
Rangers in five.
Phillies in three.
Brewers in four.
