Fox did NOT show *Chef Jose Andreas* throwing the first pitch

Celebrity chef and Trump critic Jose Andrés got a big cheer when he lobbed the ceremonial first pitch ahead of Game 5 of the #WorldSeries


Which Fox refused to show, running an ad instead.




It was the only reason I was watching

I’m sure Fox meant nothing by this omission

Sometimes they’ll show a film clip between innings or something. It is disappointing, but maybe not as malicious as it seems on the surface. I think they showed last night’s first pitch at the beginning of the third or fourth inning.

I was chomping at the bit two nights ago because they didn’t show Carlos Carrasco (my favorite player) receiving the Roberto Clemente award before the game. They showed a clip of it during the 7th inning stretch. I’m still peeved.

Close to the end of that half hour crap shit show I always choose to miss before the baseball production starts.
