Open Thread: Game 92 - A's vs. Mariners (cont)

Baseball_tiny by baseballgirl on

True, but at least that was said within the span

of about a second or so—not the greatest call, but Vinny’s leaving me confused for 3-4 seconds on some of his calls….safe or out? safe or out?

Twice in one inning. Every time a fly ball is hit

he paints a picture that says “the outfielder is spinning around in circles and is getting dizzy but miraculously makes the play… somehow.”
