Hawk Harrelson just used this phrase twice this inning, both times making absolutely no sense
>> Tuesday
The phrase?
"That's why they call it baseball."
The first time it was, "There's exceptions to every rule. That's why they call it baseball."
The second time it was, "Every [trend] goes through cycles. That's why they call it baseball."
Last time I checked, the game is called "baseball" because it's played with both "bases" and "balls." Drop the pluralizations, and you get "baseball." You're much too folksy for your own good, Hawk.
FYI: As I write this, the Royals' Joey Gathright just perfectly illustrated what Matt, Nate, and I always say about the "balls out" approach to baseball. Going for a foul pop in shallow left, he nearly killed himself (or at least seriously injured himself) by running full speed and tumbling into the front row of seats. And yes, Aaron Rowand's name has been heavily dropped by Hawk and DJ in the aftermath of the play.

Well, he's always been known for saying foolish things. That's why they call him Hawk.
See, the difference between Rowand and Joey Gathright is that the Royals would actually be better off if Gathright impales himself and gets knocked out for a period of time. Gathright would be in the team picture for worst hitter in baseball.
