You see? The reference to a “Yogi-ism” while not super funny is at least a baseball reference, not one about a character from Star Wars.
AND he’s not a comedian, he’s a baseball play by play announcer, so it’s acceptable.
But again, the yips is a very specific baseball term. I agree with the assessment of too much time. When he does that, I’ve seen him drop his arm instead of get on top. I’m sure someone is in his ear.
