The broadcast was focused more on the game itself than hype (like Fox), but it would have been nice for Orsillo or Simpson to convey how exciting or energetic it was to be there.<BR/><BR/>There were definitely some budgetary restraints with the camera angles, or so it seemed.

Methinks the production value is related to the between-inning cutaways to Ernie and Cal. TBS couldn't sell the ad time, so they tried to slide the game production by on the cheap.
