Baseball needs to rethink giving the Division Series to a company that shows one game a week. They obviously do not have the talent, on the air and behind the scenes, to handle 4 simultaneous series.

Totally agree. The Tigers-Yankees series has been dreadful to listen to so far. I'd rather have John Sterling doing the play-by-play than Brian Anderson.

I can't think of an announcer that I would rather listen to less than Sterling.

I can. It's the play-by-play guy in the Tigers-Yankees series.

Keeping up their fine work, TBS had Price's pitch count at 4 after the first pitch of the game.

Jim Leyland can't be a very smart guy. There's no other explanation for continuing to bat Jackson leadoff when he strikes out a ton and hardly ever gets on base. I get that they need him in there because he's quickly becoming the best defensive center fielder in baseball, but until he learns a modicum of plate discipline, batting him first is suicide. I'd much rather a guy who actually gets on base (say, Avila) than a guy who strikes out a ton but can run a little. Leyland is seriously stuck in like 1988 in terms of baseball strategy.
