  "account": "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.",
