Go-ahead run is at fifth...

I wondered what happened to him. I guess working alongside Tom Grieve finally caused him to have a mini-stroke or something. Barnett also said he has no recollection of this incident.

A little more than two weeks after an odd on-air incident, Texas Rangers television announcer Dave Barnett is taking an indefinite leave of absence due to "health reasons," according to a statement he released through the team Monday.
Barnett hasn't worked since the Rangers' game on June 18. During a visit to the mound by Texas pitching coach Mike Maddux in the bottom of the eighth, Barnett said:
"Go-ahead run is at fifth (pause) on what Adams is insisting on calling a botched robbery. What actually happened was his henchmen took a piece literally out of..."
His words trailed off at the end, but in actuality the go-ahead run was on first, and there had been no stolen base attempt in the inning.
Barnett told The Dallas Morning News that he was diagnosed with "a complicated migraine" after having an MRI and several other tests.
