English on ESPN and all sports

You may have read my post on Facebook. If you haven't, it's your loss. Besides that, here are few lines that absolutely get my goat in sports:

"We have a busted play."

"He has had moderate success over the middle" and "He has been sixty-two percent successful going up the middle."

"He is going to run him out there to pitch the next inning or two."

"He says that."

 A personal dislike:

"Baseknock to right." While that may not be grammatically incorrect, there is no such thing in baseball, you unintelligible ignoramus.

One thing, that I can state with a confidence level of 68% is: "Athletes that become radio/tv personalities are physical beings only. Their mental faculties are something akin to having your labor force out on strike - nothing happen.
