Reds announcer makes awkward gaffe on his home run call

Cincinnati Reds announcer John Sadak seemingly got fooled by a home run ball during Sunday’s game between the Reds and San Diego Padres.

Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts hit a fly ball to left to open the fourth inning in the game at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, Oh. Surprisingly, the ball actually carried out, even though Bogaerts’ swing did not look particularly imposing.

Sadak got fooled, too. He initially described the hit as “looped to left,” as if it were a relatively routine fly ball, only to adjust as it carried the fence.
