** Juan Soto was all set to be the star of ESPN's *Sunday Night Baseball*, not only for his much-anticipated return to Yankee Stadium but also for a planned in-game mic'd-up interview. But in a last-minute twist, the plan shifted—Soto ended up being a pinch hitter instead, throwing a curveball into the broadcast's lineup.
What This Means: ** This kind of unpredictability is why live sports are so fun—even the best-laid plans can change in an instant. For fans, it’s a reminder that Soto’s presence alone shakes things up, whether he’s talking or swinging. And for broadcasters, it’s a lesson in flexibility when covering the game.
