I am in Iowa so I get the Cards Fox network. These announcers are about as annoying as possible.
Are you certified with a Missouri approved level of class to watch that broadcast?
Man do I hope the Brewers win for many reasons, but a big one is to hear them whine about the Brewers untucking their jerseys. They already cried about it during the broadcast.

The most irritating part is that it's Al Hrabosky, who does the complaining about it most, was nicknamed the Mad Hungarian for his antics on the mound. He said this to SI:

 

But certain relief pitchers do, and Hrabosky was the original artiste.

For the better part of a decade the hirsute lefthander would enter

games at Busch Stadium

to Liszt's circusy Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 and promptly put on the

greatest show in baseball. Before each pitch he'd retreat to the back

of the mound, turn his back to the batter, mutter beneath his Fu Manchu

about his own worthiness, then pound the ball into his mitt before

storming back onto the hill. The psychological value of a little

personal time occurred to him while he was trying to deflect the pain

of a dental visit midway through the '74 season. His pre-pitch ritual

developed soon thereafter. "It wasn't an act; it was a last-ditch

effort to stay in the majors," says Hrabosky, who overcame

inconsistency to become the game's top stopper in 1975. "But it proved

that the game was starved for color. People didn't want robots out

there."

The untucking is in honor of Mike's dad... coming home from work, untucking his shirt, having a beer, and that.

That’s the only thing Chicago’s good for: to tell people where Wisconsin is.
