NESN: When What You Hear Does Not Match What You See

I had to mute NESN about halfway through Tuesday night's game. At times, I wondered what game Dave O'Brien and Jerry Remy were watching, because what they said bore little resemblance to what transpired on my TV.

(They both have numerous easily-corrected faults that they refuse to correct, but if they start calling plays that do not reflect reality, then they have crossed over into John Sterling territory and that is much worse than what I regularly complain about.)

The strangeness started during the first batter of the game, when Remy referred to the dark "batters' eye" located "behind the plate".
