Yeah, but I'm also talking about the overhead shot. The pitch (to a righty) will be in the left-handers batting box and the announcer will rarely correct himself. I think I heard Keith Hernandez do it once. Besides, I don't often get it wrong even with the distorted view. The overhead shot usually supports me.
