The jabbering announcers are one of many reasons that I turn the sound off and listen to music while watching college softball. MLB, too. Bach is better for your blood pressure than McCarver.

In softball, the last straw for me was the announcers all agreeing that the umpire had erred in calling a force out at 2B when F6, with the ball securely in her bare hand, tagged the bag with her glove. They showed the replay several times, but they didn't seem to wonder why the "offended" team didn't question the call.

In MLB, it was the constant shilling for programs coming up on their wonderful schedule.
