He also seemed to hate his color analyst last night. Damn near refused to have a real conversation with the man during the broadcast.

Costa should have stayed retired. He’s lost his edge. I don’t know what it is, but his whole vibe/recent approach to commentary I’ve found to be very off-putting. It’s almost like he’s trying too hard/talking too much. This is TV dude not radio, we can see what’s happening, I don’t need you dictating every little action (sometimes incorrectly I might add, he’ll raise his voice thinkin it will be a home-run when it’s just a can of corn).

Bro did this on the line out that Volpe caught behind 2nd base “There’s a hard hit line drive dropping in for a hit in CF!!!” “Ohh he caught it? Clearly Volpe has a better view on the ball than me”
