2021 MLB playoffs - Enrique Hernández's impressive performance drew praise from Houston Astros' manager Dusty Baker

The live interviews of managers on broadcasts often receive criticism, but sometimes they produce moments like Saturday night, when Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker reacted to a monstrous home run from Boston Red Sox center fielder Enrique Hernández on television.

"Oh Lord," Baker said as the ball traveled over the left-center field wall, chuckling under his breath.

Before the home run, Baker told the broadcast that starting pitcher Framber Valdez was struggling. Hernández then unloaded on a pitch from the Astros hurler.

"He hung a breaking ball," Baker said.
