For me, it's when announcers say, as if they've witnessed magic, "How many time does a guy who's made a great play to end an inning, leadoff the next!"
I got your answer guys: roughly one out of nine times a great play is made to end an inning.

That one has always annoyed me as well.

I long for a permanant "bleep" over that expression. Or at least the middle part.

I hate it when there is a runner on second with one out and Grande says the batters job is to hit a ball to the right side and move the runner to third.
I hate double plays and the announcers saying "at least he made contact"
Go Gators!

"He does the little things right."
These guys are all highly paid professionals that are the best of the best at what they do. It's the functional equivalent of praising Stephen Hawking for his addition and subtraction skills.

I like the call: "Its deep drive to <insert left, center or right> field!", on a ball that does not even make it to the warning track.
Would not a deep drive be at least to warning track or wall... or maybe a home run?
