Fox went too far cutting to an ad during the ninth inning of Game 7 of the ALCS

During one of the most tension-filled moments of last night’s game between the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners, “Fox did something inexplicable. It began airing a Capital One advertisement,” says Awful Announcing’s Drew Lerner. “Imagine going to watch a James Bond movie in theaters, and right when 007 is about to confront his adversary, he tries to sell you Coca-Cola. This is essentially what Fox just did to millions of people watching the final inning of Game 7. Frankly, the decision was unacceptable. The ninth inning of a winner-take-all Game 7 to earn a spot in the World Series should be sacred. The only priority should be delivering the best possible game broadcast. Period.”

The 2025 World Series was an all time classic. Game 7 was a masterpiece, a game that we'll be talking about for years to come. But FOX really doesn't know how to broadcast baseball. Let me show you why.
