Blue Jays broadcast team makes comedy of errors during game vs. Astros

The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Houston Astros last night, however, a mistake from the Jays' broadcast team is starting to go viral on social media.

According to Awful Announcing, during the eighth inning, there was a confusing situation involving Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk. After catching a pop fly, the broadcast went to a commercial. At this time, there were Astros runners on first base and third base. Altuve on third, Tucker on first.

However, once the broadcast came back, Tucker was on second. That is when the Sportsnet crew attempted to show a replay of that and figure things out. Unfortunately, during that replay, another big play happened as Altuve was caught lingering, and Kirk picked him off to end the inning. It was a lot of confusion, and fans were left scratching their heads.

In the following inning, the Blue Jays would go on to win the game thanks to a two-run homer from Davis Schneider, according to Fox Sports. This comes after a horrendous performance against the Astros in which the Blue Jays lost 10-0.
