Lindor HR'd as I was typing 'Man'

[metirish]

Gelbs with a decent call

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

The only good thing about having Gelbs in the booth was not having Gelbs on the field for a post-walkoff interview

[Lefty Specialist]

These are the kinds of games that good teams win.

You know. Gary Thorne is sitting home without a job. Don't know why we can't get him when our Gary is off.

[Edgy MD]

Poor Gelbsy.



Philosophically, I prefer mining the radio booth for your backup play-by-play guy, but I suspect that isn't an option, as those guys are not SNY employees.



Also, Michelle Margaux didn't get the call as backup sideliner.

Just watching the highlights. Not sure how Vientos turned on a shoulder high fastball. That's madness

[Frayed Knot]

I don't recall Gary missing tonight's game being discussed during lThursday's telecast.

If it were a planned/Passover kind of thing you think it would have been mentioned.

What a great game. I felt pretty good heading to the bottom of the ninth with the top of the order. Lindor wasted no time making the fans happy with a no doubter into the upper deck.



I love how non-cholent Lindor seem when he hits a big home run. This one reminded me of the clutch HR he hit in Atlanta at the end of last season.

And they would have a backup sideline person — Margaux or Eamon McIneny or somebody — ready to fire.

Is this a typo or a Jewish joke?

Righthanded power hitters sometimes like to hack at balls up there. Hank Aaron did. Yogi Berra did. Gary Carter did. Carlos Beltran would go after those from both sides of the plate.



It might have been above the strike zone, but it was tee'd up pretty sweet. Kenny Wolf, when he was hitting cleanup for my Halperin Shoes team back in 1980, would murder those pitches. He would drive me in from second, but I had these mixed feelings crossing the plate, unable to shed this moralistic notion that, if he swung at a pitch out of the strike zone, he was playing the game wrong, and by failing to discriminate the pitch correctly and lay off, he had failed, even if he had been handsomely rewarded.



I had denied myself the joy of scoring standing up on a well-struck ball flying moonward.

I've never really liked that 1930's hairdo look on women.

Actually poor spelling skills with autocorrection. I initially typed non-chalent (rather than the correct nonchalant) and autocorrection changed it to non-cholent. At the time I thought, that doesn't look right, but I went with the autocorrection. After seeing your post, I looked up Cholent (Schalet) and now I'm hungry. It is always nice to learn something new from my ignorance.
