Some things can shock you into silence.<\/p>\n

And when you\u2019re on a broadcast, the silence can be awkward\u2026 for you and the hundreds of thousands \u2014 if not millions \u2014 listening.<\/p>\n

We were reminded of that during the top of the fifth inning between the Texas\u00a0Rangers and the Athletics as a camera cut to a man grabbing and rubbing on a woman\u2019s chest.<\/p>\n

(It seemed to be consensual.)<\/p>\n

The couple seemed to know they were on camera.<\/p>\n

The camera cut away instantly as the A\u2019s broadcast went into an unsurprisingly awkward silence.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are a handful, Chris,\u201d was said on the broadcast shortly after, likely referring to A\u2019s play-by-play announcer Chris Caray.<\/p>\n

This was followed by 22 seconds of mostly silence from the broadcast before Rangers third baseman Josh Bung slapped a pop fly out to centerfield.<\/p>\n

Caray chuckled while calling the play, which led to the third out and a commercial break as the Rangers led the A\u2019s 5-2 in the middle of the fifth inning.<\/p>\n

As for the game itself, the Rangers maintained the lead for the rest of the outing and took home a 9-3 win.<\/p>\n

The series finale, to be played on Sunday, will be for the series sweep for Texas, who is also on a four-game winning streak and are just days removed from scoring 20 runs against the Los Angeles Angels earlier this week.<\/p>\n

The Rangers, in the middle of a playoff chase, are 70-67 on the season and 2.5 games behind the Seattle Mariners for the final American League Wild Card spot.<\/p>\n

The A\u2019s, at 63-74, are conversely not really in playoff contention and nearly 10 games removed from the final Wild Card spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Some things can shock you into silence.
