The Nats announcers were talking about how Sean works; low fastballs early, high fastballs late, mixing in the slider. Then, low fastball missed location, and WHAMMY...

The announcers for the Nationals were painful to listen to. I know it's only spring training but it feels like the entire production team showed up two minutes before first pitch with no idea that a game was even going to happen. Somebody on the production team could have at least bothered with a pronunciation guide to go along with the names of the Cardinal players. First they didn't even realize it wasn't Tyler O'Neill at the plate and then they butchered his name.

I know it was the 9th inning of a spring training game but come on guys. At least act like you're trying to get ready for the season too instead of just phoning it in.
