😳 “Is This Baseball or the Oscars?”
Within minutes, “Sydney Sweeney” was trending across X (formerly Twitter).
Baseball die-hards didn’t hold back:
@Yankee_Mike: “Why is Sydney Sweeney narrating my baseball game like it’s a perfume ad?”
@MidwestSlugger: “No offense, but I came for home runs, not monologues.”
@BaseballMom22: “I had to check if my TV switched channels.”
Others were more amused than angry:
@FilmBroJake: “Give her an Emmy for introducing a baseball game like it’s Euphoria: The Sports Edition.”
@HotTakeHannah: “Sydney Sweeney just did more acting in 30 seconds than the Dodgers did all night.”
💅 The Look That Launched 1,000 Tweets
Dressed head-to-toe in red with matching lipstick, Sydney looked more ready for a film premiere than the dugout.
Her bold outfit and slow, confident delivery gave the moment a surreal, almost scripted vibe — exactly what FOX wanted, and exactly what baseball Twitter didn’t.
Some fans called the intro “cinematic,” others said it felt “cringey and out of place.”
But everyone agreed on one thing — they couldn’t look away.
“You might hate it,” one user wrote, “but you definitely watched it.”
