NESN: Does Dave O'Brien Ever Listen To What He Says? More Importantly, Do His Bosses?

The Skydome roof was closed in the middle of Tuesday night's game between the Red Sox and Blue Jays, but a fog of dumb enveloped the NESN booth for the entire ten innings.

B1: Things began poorly for Dave O'Brien very early. Devon Travis, the Blue Jays' second batter, chopped an 0-1 pitch foul, the ball bouncing maybe 20-25 feet in the air. "Little trickler foul", said O'Brien.

My latest theory is that OB has a list of foul verbs written on tiny slips of paper in a jar. When there is a foul ball, he quickly grabs a piece of paper and whatever is written down is his description of how that ball was hit.
