Does anyone else hear that?

[Pardon My Dinger]

There's something funny going on during Twins telecasts on FSN. Early in the season, I noticed a weird chirping sound, kind of like a gameboy or an old cell phone ring tone that occupies the pauses in commentary. I figured I'd get used to it, but it's still pissing me off. Worst part is that no one else that I ask knows what the eff I'm talking about. They can't hear it. Either Bert's jitterbug is blowing up non-stop or I'm losing my damn mind. Does anyone else hear it?

You might want to get your hearing checked.

You've gotten to the point where the same nonsense being spewed over and over in every broadcast by Bert and Richard has finally just become chirping.

When a batter is on deck, he sometimes puts a baseball doughnut on his bat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_doughnut).  When he's up, he thumps the knob of the bat on the on-deck circle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-deck) to shake the doughnut off.  The chirp is the doughnut clinking off the circle.

 

This drove me nuts for the longest time till I saw the camera catch an on-deck batter doing it.

Did I say gameboy-like chirping sound? I meant to say bat-donut clinking sound. I always get those two mixed up. Boy, I must have sounded crazy. I'm definitely not crazy. Not me, no sir I'm not...(trails off)...
