With the scored tied 1-1 heading into the bottom of the fourth, game 1 of the World Series was tense. Apparently it was too tense for the broadcast to handle, and technical difficulties took the game off air for a few minutes.
Game 1 of the World Series was delayed because of FOX technical difficulties
With network down, game delayed because of inability to review replays in New York.
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) October 28, 2015 Not only did this result in people at home being unable to watch, the game had to be delayed during that stretch of time.
Naturally, Twitter reacted calmly. Seemed like hardly anyone noticed.

FOX eventually switched to their international broadcast of the game, and fans seemed pretty happy about that because it meant no Harold Reynolds. The network later released a statement on the situation:
“Before the start of the bottom of the fourth inning of tonight’s World Series Game 1, a rare electronics failure caused both the primary and backup generators inside the FOX Sports production compound to lose power. The issue was immediately addressed, although it resulted in the audience missing one at-bat during the time needed to switch to carriage of Major League Baseball’s international feed, powered by a different generator on site. The on-field delay was due to replay capability being lost in both team’s clubhouses. We apologize for the interruption in tonight’s coverage and are working to ensure that the remainder of the World Series is broadcast without incident.”
The blame may not be on FOX, however, with Google Fiber appearing ready to take some of the blame:
We're so sorry about the outage in KC. We know it couldn't have happened at a worse time, and we're working as quickly as we can to fix it.
