Athletics Archives - Awful Announcing

Tigers have seen MLB’s biggest RSN viewership increase in 2025

Things are going well for the Detroit Tigers this season. And the people in Detroit are taking notice....

"Great rule, unbelievable..."

"We'll see if I come back after the break..."

"To the folks that want to call me a sellout, you know what I say to you? I say you're right."

"Nothing says Sacramento -Las Vegas like Houston Methodist Hospital"

"Just very fortunate and blessed to be in this opportunity."

"Oh my god!"

Well played.

"It feels decidedly different."

"We are going to the bottom half of the fourth inning and Oaklamento leads San Francisco 2-1."

"My first baseball broadcasting job was with the Athletics, in Oakland."

"Why can't they just be the Sacramento A's for a couple of years?"

Despite being fake, the post from "Talkin' Basabell" on X provided a clear warning to announcers across MLB.

"We don't have anything other than their Athletics moniker to put on them."

"This is something out of Keystone Cops right here."

"Not ready for prime time."

It's an embarrassing look for a Major League ball club.
