Joe's got to take a handkerchief with him to wipe the moisture from around his mouth. And he sometimes ends his sentences by racing through the last phrase. Not a big issue. These changes can be made quickly.

Other than that, it was "BLAMMO". He hit a ball into the air that isn't ever coming down.

But Joe would do well to work with a speech coach. He needs to learn to slow it down, to be sure to give voice to the vowels of secondary syllables (his voice tends to drop off in secondary syllables), and in general to speak in a less clipped, more fluid way. It would only enhance his ability to communicate his message.
