Can you think of any others, Ellahmae?

Can of Corn - routine fly (that in itself might be one lol)
Bullpen - (might be strange to some) where pitchers warm up
Hot Stove - time of year before spring training that the teams all do their trades and signing of free agents
Barn Burner - everyone hitting all the time
Ribbie - Run Batted In (RBI)
Eephus - low lob pitch
Retire the Side - end of the first half of the inning
Around the Horn - throwing from each base in order
Bandbox - hitters park
That's all I can think of that might be 'different'. I'm watching now but "my" announcers have their own weird stuff but it isn't known by anyone but them and those that consistently watch/listen to them.
