Top of the ninth inning, three balls, 2 strikes, two outs. Jonathan Papelbon is pitching to Robinson Cano. After a couple foul balls, Fox suddenly changes its feed…to NASCAR. Are you serious? I went into a frantic state. I began scanning the channels to no avail. Finally, my son’s friend called him up and informed us the game was moved to FX. Well, it was too late. We had missed the last pitch.
After a two hour and 11 minute delay, all I wanted to do was watch Papelbon close the freaking game, but once again FOX managed to screw things up. Apparently they told viewers the game had been moved to FX shortly after the switch to NASCAR, but don’t you think it would have been much more helpful if they had alerted viewers BEFORE they switched feeds?
I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m pretty sure someone messed up pretty bad.
Who watches NASCAR anyway? Was missing the start of that race really a big deal? Aren’t they just going to end up hitting that same check point a few hundred more times throughout the race? They drive in circles, right?
I don’t know about you, but once they go around one time I pretty much get the gist of what’s going on.
