Everybody hated Fox Sports 1’s Tigers-Royals telecast Saturday

National broadcasts generally aren’t good. This was the worst.

In a bipartisan panning, Fox Sports 1’s broadcast of the Tigers-Royals game Saturday can be declared the worst major league baseball broadcast in history.

It’s no surprise that Tigers fans could not stand the efforts of Kenny Albert and Tom Verducci (with Ken Rosenthal making occasional appearances). The crew spend most of the time praising every little thing about the Royals, from their mouthpieces to their speed to their bobbleheads to the fact their fans all happen to wear team colors, to more mouthpieces. You could be fooled into believing this was an intersquad game, because there was absolutely no mention of the Tigers all game long.
