Didn't see this discussed easier, but jesus fuck what a homer bitch the Miami announcer is. Mike Fiers clearly looked upset after hitting Stanton, obviously unintentional. But then when he hit Reed Johnson the Marlins started chirping at him and only then did Fiers get pissed off. Apparently if you hit a batter by mistake, you're no longer allowed to pitch in to anybody else. The Marlins emptied out of the dugout and screamed at Fiers when both hit batters were clear accidents.

The Marlins DID have a valid case for being mad at the ump as he called both hit batters swings and misses...but the announcer for the Marlins was like "the Marlins are doing the right thing, you HAVE to stand up for your star player!", "how is Fiers allowed to stay in the game? this is all his fault!", "oh the umpire is now warning both sides, whoopdee doo." and he was incredulous when the Marlins pitcher then got ejected for clearly hitting a Brewer on purpose.

It was the type of announcer homerism that would make Hawk Harrelson cum in his pants.
Pretty sure this is how every announcer is that represents a specific team. Was listening to the Steelers radio, via online, and they went ape shit for anything called against the Steelers. Plus, he, and the Marlins, did just see their NL MVP candidate go down to a horrible pitch. Of course tensions will be high and that goes for the announcer who is calling 200000 games a year for the team.
