When Lucas Duda was on the Mets, if his at-bat went to two balls, two strikes, as the pitcher prepared to throw the next pitch Mets announcer Gary Cohen would say, with emphasis, 'two-two to Duda." For some reason, it cracked me up every time. I guess you had to hear the way he said it.

Uncle Charlie (curveball)

That one and it's comrade "yellow hammer' are the first things that came to my mind.

Dislike: drip (referring to a player’s style/fashion choices)

I can’t keep up with today’s slang but ‘drip’ is one of those annoying words that are wound up in today’s lexicon

hot corner
gas

[Otis Nixon's Bodyguard]

Dislikes:

Going Yard or Went Yard

I would agree that "go yard" sounds very stupid. Came here to post that one.
