MLB World Reacts To Alex Rodriguez Calling Red Sox-Yankees Playoff Game

October 6, 2021 by The Spun

On Tuesday night, postseason baseball officially kicked off with the best rivalry the sport has to offer.

The Boston Red Sox hosted the New York Yankees in a win-or-go-home contest. The winner, of course, advances in the playoffs while the loser will take a few months to think about what went wrong.

Before the game started, fans learned that former New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez was on the call for ESPN. A quick look on social media will tell you that fans aren’t exactly thrilled with the selection.

“Boy, I gotta tell ya, Alex Rodriguez on the call for a do-or-die Yankees-Red Sox Playoff game is really something else,” one fan said.

“Debating flipping to the Statcast broadcast. It’s a tough one for me, I can’t tell what I hate more – Alex Rodriguez or math,” said another fan.

One fan even suggested they would rather mute the TV than listen to A-Rod on the call tonight.

“Alex Rodriguez doing color for a Yankees/Sox game? Looks like the TV is going on mute,” the fan said.

As for the actual game, Yankees star Giancarlo Stanton hit what looked to be a bomb over the Green Monster only for the ball to hit halfway up the wall. After failing to capitalize with a runner in scoring position, things only got worse for the Yankees.

Xander Bogaerts hit a shot to deep center to give Boston a 2-0 lead after the first inning.
