Chicago White Sox announcer Rick Manning swears out of surprise live on air

Rick Manning was calling the game for the White Sox on Bally Sports Chicago when Guardians hitter Owen Miller hit the ball and sent it sailing to right fielder Gavin Sheets. Sheets was a rookie last season who hit 11 home runs and 34 RBIs in 54 games for the Sox. Sheets, who is not normally placed in right field but rather at first base, fumbled the ball as it hit off of his glove, dropping it. Miller reached second base on the play, scored his teammate , and put the Guardians up 1-0. Upon calling the play as a color commentator, Rick Manning was amazed how a major league fielder could botch the catch. He could not help but drop a cuss word as he said quite clearly, "Are you sh*tting me?"

It did not take long for the home-field fans in Chicago to forgive his error after a play like that.
