Hank Azaria (played the title character on Brockman) joked a few times that baseball announcers could say whatever they wanted as long as it ended in a pitch count.

I think that adds to the effect of "being at the game" with the announcer; go to a ballgame with a friend you haven't seen in a few weeks and you'll end up talking about random stuff too.

Love it! Had he not been so wildly talented at voice-work, he could have been a damn good announcer himself (as evidenced by his work as announcers in the Simpson's), so that's extra great

If you haven't seen this, a great recent interview with him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5TaYFi4UVA
