Mike Francesa Blasts Bob Costas For Calls In Yankees-Guardians Series

Throughout the American League divisional series between the Yankees and the Guardians, debates have raged about the broadcast style of longtime play-by-play man Bob Costas.

Perhaps no one has stronger feelings on the matter than New York-based radio personality Mike Francesa.

After both Games 3 and 4 of the ALDS between New York and Cleveland, Francesa released podcasts on the BetRivers network that contained rants about Costas’s talkative broadcast style. Saturday, following a Yankees loss, the radio host was referencing the power of Yankees outfielder Ryan Bader when he launched into an impassioned segment on the iconic, but long-winded broadcaster.
