Fuk-uppy would probably just mess it all up. :(

I've just finished laughing my feckin arse off! So so funny. I need someone like Tony G to help here. On the sports news on the radio, Vasos Alexander was doing his usual sports reports but to finish, he played a sports commentator clip from the baseball game between red sox and cardinals...... This commentator was in full baseball tongue....., when it went back to Vasos, he said, "What the hell was that?" Chris Evans and Lyn Bowles were both the same, "what was he talking about?"....., was absolutely hilarious.
I'd like that translated. Was on the BBC radio two, Chris Evans show between 7:50am and 8am. I think Radio Two has a "player" where you can listen back to the show. I would bet that what the commentator says is just normal baseball speak to you guys....., but fuck me, I have no clue what the guy was saying! LMAO!"...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

"A swing and the ball is looped into center, that's a base hit". The batter hit a ball with a looping trajectory over the infield and into center field (the center part of the outfield). "Base hit" refers to any hit that allows the runner to reach first base. "Single" is a synonym.
"Robinson picks it up on a hop ... throws home ... puts the tag on ... he's out". The center fielder (Robinson) catches the ball after it hops. Then throws the ball to home plate to try to get the runner (Ross, who before the hit was standing at second base) out at home. The Catcher (player behind home plate who receives the pitches) catches the throw and has to tag the runner with the ball before the runner touches home plate, which he does. So the runner is out.
"Another run scores on a single by Elsberry". Elsberry (not sure of the spelling) must have been the guy who hit the ball. "Single" as noted above is another name for "base hit" or any hit that allows the runner to reach 1st base. "Another run scores" is a bit confusing - there must have been a runner at 3rd who ran home (scored) before Ross (runner at second) was thrown out at home.
"He broke an Oh for 8". The "oh" here is shortcut for zero. "zero for 8" means that the Elsberry hadn't reached based in his last 8 attempts at bat. But this single broke that streak.
Most of this would be a lot clearer if you were watching it on TV and had the visual context. Radio broadcasts of any sport require the listener to be up on the '"lingo" of the sport.
That said, I tried watching cricket on TV once in London and was absolutely confounded.

Lightinboy....., you are a rock n roll star, buddy. Thank you very much for that, very much appreciated. I have copied and pasted your reply to Chris Evans this morning Along with a side note from myself. I mean there are 14 millon listeners and many emailing in with BS, so the chances that it'll be read out are fairly grim......, but we shall wait until Vasos Sports news at 7:50....., may get a mention.
Ok........, Cricket......., I can't, mate..... Sorry!"...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”
