Corrected entry: When Jim Morris is measuring the speed of his fastball on an empty road, the two LED segments on the sign that malfunction were working fine just a few shots before.

Corrected entry: In real baseball games, there is no running commentary by the announcer. Usually there is the announcing of the home teams starting lineup and defense, the opposing teams starting lineup and defense, the battery, and the batter. I guess they just added this in to clarify what was going on for non-baseball fans.
Correction: The running commentary is being done on the radio by Eric Nadel. It can be heard at the stadium in the suites and concession stands, as well as on any radio a fan could have with them in the stands. [Yes, it was added for clarity.].
Correction: That's the whole point of the scene. The sign is mounted on a trailer. It's possible for there to be an intermittent short due to the jolts the trailer takes when being hauled around. This scene was shot for dramatic purposes - Quaid mentions in the commentary that it's not real.
