Didn't he say it was going to go into the 2nd deck, though? And didn't the announce team say it came just shy of the 2nd deck? A small detail, but still...
My grandpa used to call plays and pitches. He just understood baseball really well, like what pitchers are dumb enough to throw a fat fastball to a slugger on 3-1. Apparently so does the Mariner's hitting coach.
