Somewhere around the third inning, MASN announcer Scott Garceau says to fellow announcer Ben McDonald, “I think we kinda flipped the script from Game 1 to Game 2, Ben.” A horrified Ben replies to Scott: “You had to say that, didn’t you.”
Scott Garceau was right. In Game 1, balls were flying out of the yard as Toronto ace Hyun-Jin Ryu suddenly looked like a sitting duck and Ryan McKenna suddenly looked like a slugger. Then in Game 2, the score was 0-0 for the almost half the game and the Blue Jays bats were silent.
But seriously, even the master of the unintentional spoonerism, the king of the faux pas himself should know the iron rule of baseball, right?
