"Yo, They're In It"

[bacon06]

Did I hear right on the broadcast when they said the Pirates have thrown out 14 out of 147 base runners this year?

[AZBrewCrew]

Well, when your team is going down the tubes and you're one of six people in the stadium, you might as well "woo" to your heart's content.

 

I realize it rained earlier but they still have a shot at the playoffs. Reminds me of the Dbacks last year when they couldn't fill the stadium during the LDS.

[pebadger]

Ueck said the same thing earlier, I think way back in the first, so the numbers are probably correct, adjusted for tonight's deluge.

[Kelbysdaddy]

How long have they been yelling woo? You'd think they'd be done by now.

I don't know but I am not sure what is more annoying the woo or that dang horn?

[AZBrewCrew]

Just over 15k attendance

Paid or turnstile? I'm guessing the former. I wonder how many people are actully in the building right now.

[FVBrewerFan]

I don't know which is more strange. That the two most annoying sounds happen to be occuring in the same game, or the fact that one of them isn't Larusa's voice.

[TURBO]

Is BA's depth perception a bit off today? That ball didn't seem deep to left field to me

 

He does this every game...

 

I like the guy, but HATE his calls on anything hit to the outfield.

Rock: "that thing would be all twisted up by the end of the night if he was sitting by me" - in reference to the horn

[FVBrewerFan]

Betancourt gets that ball 0 out of 10 times

Joe Block asked if that was Charlie Brown's teacher. I laughed out loud.

[owbc]

Wow, the playoff odds (temporarily) spiked to 13.2%. That's the highest since May.

[pitchleague]

I was going to come here and post about all the howler monkeys at the ballpark tonight, but apparently you guys already covered that.

 

As for BA and his depth perception, remember that the TV booth at PNC is literally on top of the stadium. It hangs higher than the top row of the upper deck. So, I'll excuse it.

I totally forgot about the location of the TV booth there. I think Ueck made a comment about it last time too.

[TURBO]

Where the booth is has no bearing on his comments... He has done it all season long, no matter what park we are playing in, EVEN at Miller Park, where he should have a good handle on how the ball carries there.

[pitchleague]

in an average game, I'd venture to estimate that 10,000+ fans are "off" in their depth perception of a fly ball and how well it's going to carry.

 

It's not like BA is some blind guy in the booth who has no clue. Probably half the population would do the same. Heck, Ueck still has trouble at times and he's been doing this stuff for 42 years and counting. Vin Scully, too.

 

Personally, I don't have an issue with it. So he's not perfect. I'm not either. And neither are you. (That's EVERYBODY I'm singling out, by the way.)
