Bob Costas seemed a bit upset about the Diamondbacks success during Game 2

During Game 2 of an NLDS showdown between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks, baseball enthusiasts couldn’t help but notice a distinct lack of enthusiasm from the renowned announcer, Bob Costas, when it came to supporting the underdog Diamondbacks.

While this is not much of a surprise, given the “ratings nightmare” that a team such as the Diamondbacks may bring to the MLB if they do advance, there were some points throughout the game where Costas seemed outright disgusted that Arizona held a lead.

This includes the final out, where Kolten Wong flew out to centerfield to give the Diamondbacks a 2-0 series lead.

What a lame call from Bob Costas. He sounds so despondent and annoyed. At least pretend to be unbiased. #Dbacks pic.twitter.com/trXnuIlbCz

At least the reactions on social media were quite hilarious.

[Bob Costas voice] And somehow, someway, these pathetic losers lead the mighty, handsome Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2 as we enter the 8th inning.

Bob Costas: The series shifts to Phoenix for game three on Wednesday, a city with such sweltering heat, it serves as a reminder that one day the sun will engulf the Earth, leading to extinction of all mankind.

Ron Darling: I'm surprised no one is up in the bullpen.

Bob Costas by far the worst announcer EVER. Doesn’t even hide his disappointment when something goes the Dbacks way

Bob Costas is a legend

With that said in 2023 he is more effective at getting people to fall asleep than any prescription medicine you could possibly acquire at your local CVS

Bob Costas openly rooting for the Dodgers and getting Excited anytime they got guys on base is disgusting

While Costas does have his share of iconic moments as he has called some classic postseason games, it’s safe to say that Game 2 will not be remembered as one of his finest performances.
