Pseudopredictive future-past

A verb tense exclusively and habitually used by sports commentators. Despite sounding exactly like future tense, this tense is used to describe recent past events to give the illusion that said event was predicted by the sportscaster.

"...and Pujols will rip a foul one into the outfield!" exclaimed the televised play-by-play commentator, immediately after it was over and everyone could clearly that it already happened. World Series viewers everywhere rolled their eyes at the constant and annoying use of pseudopredictive future-past.

"The pseudoscience problem shows how pseudoscience concept might be really inconsistent and problematic sometimes, mainly when used by neoatheists and materialists... We might need get into a new classification for scientific and non-scientific categories and even, maybe, counter neoatheism and materialism inside science, for avoid problems such as the pseudoscience problem."

"The pseudoscience problem is a good way to understand why we should be pragmatic and relativist inside scientific and non-scientific issues, mainly if it is about evidences, since we have evidences of all kinds, not just scientific evidences, it is even useful for show the cult to scientific/objective evidences might be countered inside science and the formulation of new ways to search for evidences and even adopt epistemological anarchism for openly scientific and non-scientific themes, since the scientific method might have its own problems such as pseudoscience concept."
