Detroit — To quote Willie Mays Hayes from "Major League," "I've been cut already?"
Fox Sports Detroit has officially eliminated the "players-only" telecasts for Tigers games, a format that debuted in April to much hype by network brass — but wildly mixed reviews from viewership.
Plans called for 17 total broadcasts feature players only, including Kirk Gibson, Jack Morris, Craig Monroe and Dan Petry. But the plan was cut off after just three.
FSD has confirmed play-by-play man Matt Shepard will do the rest of the games.
The first three "players-only" broadcasts debuted in April.
