Having this happen occasionally is great, especially when it's about 50/50 how it will resolve, but this year's pbp guy just isn't much of a judge. |
We've toned those down too. The guy who alerted me to that one mentioned John Sterling, Yankee broadcaster. 
Contract problems for the release version caused us to hire a below average replacement announcer... contract negotiations are going well and our regular announcer should be back in the seat for the next patch. 
Just joking, of course, the limited usage lines are new.
