I can imagine Ron Darling saying it. That's what you get from getting infected with all kinds of humbug on national TV. I can also imagine Keith Hernandez saying it, ironically, in a blowout of at least nine runs.
Anyway. It's the new "launch angle". They'll have something else in two years, and it will be no less annoying. Maybe it's a "shotgun chart", or "mitten points". Or the all-important "sandwich factor".
I just watch the games and be merry.
