I don't think Ace is giving them any credit...it's nice to read about this stuff on here so when we have to play "mythbuster" we have context.

Not to mention it keeps our opinions of most announcers consistent.

So smart, in fact, that he wouldn't hang himself like that. Vinny's the best!

And Rich Burk, the broadcaster for my local AAA team. A year or two ago when the umpires made a mess of an IFF, during the confusion he actually said, "The purpose of the infield fly rule is to protect the offense."

But these guys are exceptions to the rule.

If Tim McCarver were working with him, he would've chimed in "No I don't think that's correct..."
