Carlos Carrasco used his off-day to help the Indians' booth out with play-by-play
This browser does not support the video element.
Carlos Carrasco didn't pitch on Tuesday. He wasn't scheduled to start, and he wasn't needed anyway, as Josh Tomlin threw five shutout innings en route to a 2-1 Indians victory over the Royals.
To pass the time, Carrasco grabbed a Fox Sports microphone in the bottom of the sixth and gave the Indians' broadcasters a brief reprieve by calling the end of Jose Ramirez's at-bat (as seen in the video above). He seemed to be perfect for it, too, reading Tomlin's pitching line to the viewers before providing his own play-by-play of Ramirez's ground ball to third:
"Swing, ground ball to third base. Got him! Play catch! Throw! Out."
Carrasco's a natural behind the mic, and based on his other goofy reactions to the camera, he's a natural on screen, too:
Watch out, Harry Doyle. Carrasco's coming for your job.
