Tigers announcer Jason Benetti gets roasted by own broadcast team after Austro-Turkish War reference
Jason Benetti flexed some knowledge and immediately got dunked on by the Tigers' broadcast team.
Detroit Tigers announcer Jason Benetti drew ridicule from his own broadcast team after referencing the Austro-Turkish War during a commentary on player Riley Greene's performance. Benetti pointed out that Greene's OPS was 1.663, the same year the Austro-Turkish War began, in reference to the jerseys the team was wearing. The comment garnered laughs from both Benetti and the Tigers broadcast crew, leading to a humorous camera cut showcasing a "geek" advertisement on the outfield wall with only the final word in the shot.
Benetti later thanked a team member, Andrew, and quipped, "That's the cut of the year." Despite the lighthearted moment, the Tigers went on to win a close game against the Washington Nationals, 9-2. In the end, Greene finished the day 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored, despite his impressive OPS, ensuring Benetti won't be making another Austro-Turkish War reference during his broadcasts.
