“Worst human to call sports live”; “He’s so bad at his job” - MLB fans troll broadcaster Bob Costas for blunt commentary on Yankees vs Royals game

The New York Yankees and the Kansas City Royals started the third game of their ALDS in Bob Costas's presence at the TBS broadcast booth. Costas has garnered a lot of attention through his commentary, but not in a good way.

Several times during his commentary, the sportscaster went off-topic, which fans didn’t enjoy. This was evident in the eighth inning, when Vinnie Pasquantino hit a soft line drive, and Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe caught it just past the infield.

Bob Costas got overly excited, expecting it to be a big moment for the Royals. However, the hit turned out to be an easy catch for the Yankees, making Costas’ excited commentary feel out of place for such a simple play.

"Line drive base hit to center field. It was smothered out there... I don't know if it was caught. Oh my gosh. What a play," Costas said.

Several fans took to X to share their reactions, with many criticizing Bob Costas.

“He is the worst human to call sports live ever,” a fan said.

“He’s so bad at his job bro,” another fan said.

“Wonder which team he wants to win?” another comment reads.

Many other fans continued to troll Costas:

“Costas was more excited for Witt single than Stanton go ahead homer. 🙄,” a comment reads.

“Bro said 'It was smothered' when it was clearly a catch lmao,” another comment reads.

“how bad the broadcasting has been this series 👽,” someone wrote.

The New York Yankees ended Wednesday's game with a 3-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals.

The Royals countered by scoring a run in the fifth on Kyle Isbel’s RBI double off Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt. Shortly after, they tied the score at 2-2 when Michael Massey hit an RBI triple.
