Ivan Rodriguez's first name is correctly pronounced E-vaughn. In the game it's Ivan (I-van). And what's sad is that the frickin' announcer uses the correct pronunciation. Replace Jack or teach him how to pronounce these names!

The PA and Merluzzi can't agree on whether Pat Burrell is "Bur-ell" or "burrahl" D:

When you hit a HR with Ryan Braun, he calls him Brown. I don't know why because when he comes up to bat they say Braun.

Maybe his voice sounds different from being excited.

Bullard from last year's success mode was pronounced as it is speeled instead of Bullerd.

Chris Coste is pronunced "coast" just like the actual place, but jack and the pa guy both say "cost-a". I guess it is spelled like that, but still.

Albert Pujols: Jack Merluzzi got it right (it's a miracle) but the PA guy says Albert Poo-Hole.

I'm fairly sure the PA announcer is just Jack, doing a deeper voice with a distance effect. The chance that they got 2 announcers is just waaaaay too low.

Which, if true, makes one wonder how someone could get it wrong after getting it right...or vice versa? And again, how this escaped QA, MLB review, etc.

When he comes to bat, you can hear the staduim announcer saying "Troy Glaus", but Jack Motor Mouth calls him Tony Glaus.

Actually, the White Sox's Brian Anderson's middle initial is N so he says Brian N Anderson.
