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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)
