For about 30 seconds, there was almost nothing but deafening silence to be listened to throughout the sixth inning of Bally Sports Kansas City’s broadcast of the Kansas City Royals‘ clash towards the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday.
Royals analyst Rex Hudler took the microphone to even further crack down Kansas City correct-handed pitcher Seth Lugo whiffing Brewers shortstop Willy Adames with an 81.7-mph slurve.
“And then you fall the deuce on the exterior aspect of the plate,” Hudler reported. “That big curveball, awesome, appropriate out of the zone, just like you like it.”
Engage in-by-enjoy announcer Ryan Lefebvre did not say a term. He enable the instant breathe with viewers soaking in every single final term of Hudler’s funny phrasing.
Last but not least, the silence broke.
“Just to clarify—a deuce is a curveball,” Lefebvre explained.
“Yeah, it is two,” Hudler responded, referencing the variety of fingers that catchers use to signal for a curveball.
Far too funny.
Adames ultimately acquired his revenge for the sixth-inning strikeout, blasting a three-run go-in advance homer in the top rated of the ninth. The Brewers defeat the Royals 6–5.
