What stupid things do baseball announcers say??
Question:My favorite. "He really knows how to play this game!!" After 4 years of high school ball, 3 years of little league, 4 years college ball, 3 years in the minors ,I would hope he knows by now.
Another -He;'s having trouble getting his timing. Translation" He's 1 for his last 20, and so far today he's struck out twice.
Your favorites????

Joe Morgan actually says a lot of stupid incoherent things and he is so boring to listen to because of his monotone voice. There will be stretches during live games where he doesn't even speak.One of my favorites lines is from White Sox announcer Ken "The Hawk" Harrelson, "You can put it on the boooard.yes!" hahaha

one time an announcer was announcing a short pop up to shortstop. it was a routine play. the announcer said "oh my thiis one has a chance to be caught" no crap this guys been playing for like 20 years and my cat has a chance to catch that ball.Baseball announcers, opinion question?

How many innings can a baseball game go on for?
I absolutely, 100% guarantee that, if the bases are loaded in the late innings and the batter gets 3 balls, the announcer will say "there's no place to put him".Just for the sake of argument?
d.j.white sox-'this aint rocket surgery.'the late great harry carey during a pitching change with partner steve stone. the camera man panned through the crowd and found two people kissing,hears what he said.'oh,look steve theirs a couple of love birds kissing isnt that nice.hes kissin her on the strikes,shes kissin him on the balls.Has anyone gotten a game winning SB by stealing home?
The AM radio announcer (John Sterling) for the Yankees is the worst. When a homerun ball is hit,he says"It is high,it is far,it is goooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnneeee... The problem is there are many times when he gets to the 'gone' part,he's wrong---anticipated the HR. So it's frustrating if you're listening without a visual aid and the call goes like this"It is high,it is far,it is CAUGHT AT THE WALL" One time the bases were loaded and a ball was hit,went through the whole thing following it up with "It's a grand slam...FOUL"Should I drop Randy Johnson from the DL and pick up someone?
My favorite is how a guy will be like 2-20 and he will get one hit. then all of a sudden he's "broken out of his slump" fyi your only 3-21 now. it takes more than one hit to break a slumpAre there any racial issues with Barry Bonds breaking the home run record?
OK how bout " the ball bounce over the fence for a ground rule double."Last time I checked if a fair batted ball left the field of play on a bounce it was a two base award (AKA rule book double). Ground rules apply to dugouts, bullpens, backstops etc.)
