If you watch a minor league baseball game, the announcers will discuss the game and give out hilariously specific information relevant to the game. When a batter comes up, they'll talk about the last time he encountered this pitcher, or how he does against left handed pitchers in general, or how this pitcher does against this team, or how this batter does later in the week. All of it could be relevant, but it becomes hyper specific.

BTW, I mention minor league baseball because you can watch it for free, as opposed to major league baseball, which costs a crapton of money, but you get the same experience in the major leagues. If you want to try a game, download the milb app and check it out. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bamnetworks.mobile.android.gameday.milb

That actually sounds kinda funny.

It's a blast! Some people take it super seriously, but I prefer it when teams lean into the fun of the game.
