Can we please stop with this announcer nonsense?
Ok, so there are 1,843 things that TV commentators say that are nonsense, but this one you hear at least once every few games. I watch 2 or 3 games a day, so I hear it so much that it makes my head hurt.
Tonight in the Red Sox game, in the 9th inning, Kalish got picked off of first with 1 out and then Victor tripled of the wall.
“So that cost the Sox a run,” say the announcers of course.
Is there anyone that is not mentally retarded who seriously thinks that if we could actually go back in time and change things so that the runner was not picked off, that everything after that would be exactly the same - same pitches, same swings by the batter, etc.?
Of course the whole thing is silly, but still…
And I even heard this on a Giants broadcast this year:
A base runner made an out at third base for the last out of the inning. The next inning, the leadoff batter got a single, and the announcer bemoaned the loss of a run!
