"Baseball's biggest series was broadcast on FOX with Joe Davis as the play-by-play commentator and John Smoltz as the color commentator. Some fans took issue with Davis behind the mic as he is the lead voice for the Dodgers on SportsNet LA throughout the season. Complaints ranged from lack of excitement when calling plays about the Blue Jays or showing too much emotion for the Dodgers throughout the World Series. Davis spoke on the matter and how he dealt with it."
""These are exciting, highly emotional times as fans. It's what makes sports great that we all get a little irrational at points. Dodgers fans are going to get upset that I get excited for the other team. The other teams are going to be upset if I'm the Dodger guy," Davis told Awful Announcing. Following the Dodgers' World Series win, Davis received more criticism for hosting the team's championship rally."
"With the baseball season over, Davis has made the seamless transition to calling NFL games. While baseball and football are two completely different sports, Davis' poise behind the mic remains the same.

Davis defended his calls by noting fan emotions and the inevitability of perceived bias from different fanbases. Davis also hosted the Dodgers' championship rally and drew additional criticism.
