Did Chip Caray even play little league?


I have never considered the word "fisted" to be a common baseball term so when a professional announcer says this incessantly, it's like mega-distracting. What does this even mean? I played ball for quite a few years and I don't think I ever "fisted" anything.

Is Chip Caray too big that Buck Martinez can't tap him on the shoulder or a producer can't talk into his earpiece? Better yet, let's put him on some "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" style shock therapy where he is wired and gets a progessively bigger shock every time he says the word "fisted." You know it would work, real quick. Ask Pavlov's dog.

I want to hear him say that Ryan Howard "fisted" a home run. Think it's not possible?

Nepotism blows.

(This unimaginative guy just said it again; top of the 6th inning. I can't keep up)

Umm, Chip Caray?


"Base hit!"

Ummm no. How about a fly out to left field followed by a put out of a runner at the plate. Double play. (Two very different types of plays and outcomes)

You did have Computer Boy momentarily confused but I told him to watch the play and ignore the announcer as announcers don't always watch the game closely.

We are all human and everything but just don't let it happen again. As a matter of practice, I think I would watch the game and rely on my visual sense rather than just react to the crowd.

Just a little helpful advice that may come in handy in the future.

No charge.

Still friends and everything.
