no, announcer to thousands of people during this major league baseball game, you are wrong, the pitcher did not “strike out the side.”. He struck out two people and inbtw PCA flew out to center.

Boone has got to go. He can go manage somewhere else, he’s not a
bad manager, they need a new / different perspective in leadership.
