he hasn't been retired yet, going 2 for 2 with one RBI...

That's a hard code line. Most likely hard coded so it can be controlled better. So we wouldn't ever end up possibly with it saying he hasn't been retired yet, going 2 for 3. Or mentioning he has no RBI for the game.

Anaya is going home...
-----------
he scores...
-----------
Hunt has a double...
-----------
It's a two-run double by Charles Hunt.

Those are all hard code lines. There's not a whole lot of variation to add to that.

[228-11917] rips a liner...
over the third base bag...
McGilchrist is there...

The last 2 lines are hard code. Not much variation in the direction, the "is there" is a stupid line since he misses it 90+% of the time, but not much variation available for that type of play unless he's lunging or diving.

Most of the hard code is stuff that wouldn't have much variation, so it'd be calling from an xml category for no other reason than it isn't hard coded anymore, not for sake of variation. The downside is that the stupid lines can't get fixed unless Markus does it.
