SCHNIDE

A: it's schneid.
B: it's a longstanding Yiddish term, adopted into baseball from gin rummy:
get off the schneid
To break a scoreless, hitless, or winless streak (i.e., a schneid). According to the Dickson Baseball Dictionary, the term "schneid" comes to baseball via gin rummy, and in turn comes from German / Yiddish "schneider", one who cuts cloth, i.e., a tailor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_baseball_(G)
C. as far as general use in sports go you can probably blame Chris Berman.
