Haha, I saw that because I watched the highlights that MLB put out and couldn't help but wonder why on earth they would use that call of that play?

But, just to show that I'm an equal opportunity critic, last night on Gunnar's 2nd HR Kevin Brown says "You will never see that baseball again!", just as the ball lands beyond the fence.  That was a very strange call as well.

Unusual for Kevin. All too usual for Melanie.

I think he was being influenced by the fact that the RF barely moved.

I was confused on that second Gunnar home run call too. I was thinking did the ball bounce off something changing it’s directory? I’m going to say that’s unlikely since this game wasn’t at Tampa.

Prob thinking of Sinclair Broadcast.

I found it, it's a company called Diamond Sports Group.  They are indeed a subsidiary of Sinclair, which is probably a good explanation for why they were acting like a mini-Sinclair and gobbling up a bajillion different RSNs
