Likely no shot for two

Due to how bad the play by play is I just don’t listen to it. It should be addressed but I’m pretty sure it’s low on totem pole.
The play by play wasn’t that bad the first time I heard it, 5 versions of the game ago.
Aside from the repetitiveness of it, most of the time what they’re saying isn’t relevant to the situation, isn’t remotely true, or they drone on about a particular batter even though he’s long since finished his AB.
What really annoys me is Matty V will say something and Plesac or Derosa will add their color which is more or less repeating what Matty said.

Some of the commentary is accurate though.
“The best way to make a guy uncomfortable is to pound him inside.” -
If the rare 3-2 change up was thrown as many times as he mentions it then it would be the most common 3-2 pitch in the world.

Anytime I hear
The ball is carrying
I know it's dying at the wall -

If batters were walked at HALF the frequency of the base open,pitch around,wonder If they ll even pitch to him comments,there would be 20 walks a game.

I turn it off first day every year, but sometimes there's a great gem before I do so. This year, it went like this in the very first game:
1st batter
1st pitch
Foul ball down 1st Base lineDan: "This pitcher has had the other team's number the entire game."
To be fair, it was accurate.

Honestly the announcing has just gotten worse over the years. "How much for one of those ribs" cringe.
