I didn't watch for Apple reasons, but this is not unusual for national telecasts. They probably used a "generic" broadcast team who does all sports. Baseball, because of its pace, requires a very different on-air persona than continuous-action sports such as basketball, hockey, and American football. Long live Vin Scully!
When I watch European football games on American TV, I have to turn the sound off with almost all of the American broadcasters. (Most networks use English broadcasters, but Fox's broadcasters are particularly bad.) Like baseball, footie has a unique pace that does not fit well with continuous ultra-high-energy hype. The worst I ever heard was an American hockey broadcaster trying to use the same adrenaline style. He lasted about 30 seconds for me before I was frantically hunting for the mute key!
