MLB commentators were forced to apologize after repeatedly naming a Chicago Cubs star.

Ravech initially had an incorrect first name, calling him Matthieu instead of Michael.
And when Perez took over, things got even worse.
He called out Cubs star Matthew Boyd, with Ravech then painfully trying to correct him as Matthew Busch.
In the following During the first round, the duo realized their mistake and apologized.

Fans were unimpressed by the confusion surrounding his name.

“You absolutely have to know the names of the starting eleven.”
Another added: “They have been atrocious for a very long time unfortunately. »
A third wrote: “The best part is that home run was the FOURTH time Kyle Ravech called him Matthew lmao.” »
And another commented: “Absolute clown show.” »
