This was a tough one to sit through. The YES Network is one of the crown jewels of baseball broadcasting, and today’s game was about as bad a broadcast as I’ve ever seen. They struggled with both audio and visual delivery, and while the booth does deserve credit for ploughing on, it wasn’t a fun viewing experience even if the end result was a positive one. Five pitchers combined to allow just two hits as the Yankees topped the Astros 3-1.
Yknow, I was a little nervous about Nestor Cortes’ outing. He struggled with both command and control in the two months before hitting the IL, and he walked the first batter he faced.
