In one of the weirdest call-outs in recent memory, in the matchup between the LA Dodgers and Miami Marlins, MLB analyst and announcer jinxes and ends no-hitter before the game even begins...
Amsinger confidently asserted that Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto was on "no-hitter alert" before even throwing a single pitch.
"Don't take this the wrong way, but we are already on no-hitter alert. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, before he throws a single pitch tonight against the Marlins.
Miami's Jazz Chisholm takes the first pitch deep."

It was clearly a light-hearted joke but quickly became a viral soundbite as he literally jinxed the dodgers starting pitcher. the most shocking thing happened when Jazz Chisholm blasted the first pitch of the game for a home-run just just moments after the claims were made.
"You could literally see it on his face," Labar said. "The smirk — you knew it was gonna happen. Greg, how many times do we have to tell you, ‘No! No!.' On behalf of my league, I apologize to Yamamoto. This has nothing to do with you and everything to do with Greg Amsinger."
