Blue Angels fly over Progressive Field, startle Torii Hunter and Michael Bourn mid at-bat

Blue Angels startle Tigers and Indians

Have you ever tried to taunt a batter while they're at the plate? Maybe something along the lines of this?

Well, the Navy's Blue Angels have you (and Cameron) beat.

While Monday's Tigers-Indians game was going on at Progressive Field, the Cleveland Air Show's Labor Day performance was underway overhead. While you wouldn't normally link those two things together, well, it turns out jet engines are really, really loud:

"Oh, you were trying to swing down there, Torii? Our bad! We'll get out of your hair."

Lest you think they were just giving the Indians a bit of home field advantage, they also startled outfielder Michael Bourn moments before he took an 0-1 pitch:
