    Yeah, you think the popularity of that show meant that the appetite for all-sports radio and TV would have occurred to someone quicker than it did, but ESPN didn't show up until 1979 (?) and WFAN was almost a decade after that.

    Three soft bouncers to Lindor, two in potential GiDP situations, result in one total out. Part bad execution, part bad luck.

    Unlike the quickie DH from the other day, this game isn't ending anytime soon.

    The WWoS intro that I mentioned earlier. The hurling clip is right around the 20 second mark, right after the famous ski jump mishap. [media=youtube]Vv368yWOSas[/media]

    Cincy coughs up six HRs to the Brew Crew this afternoon to lose 10-5 and fall to a stunning 3-22 on the season. That's a .120 winning percentage kids. Double that and you still don't get to the 1962 Mets level.

    Hurling? I thought that's what you Irish lads did after a night of too much drinking. Bah-dum-Ching! I first saw a Hurling match via ABC's 'Wide World of Sports' program, probably late '60s/early '70s Nobody was wearing helmets back then, I remember that much cuz some dude got knocked cold from a collision and they used that footage in the intro to the program for years ... just like they did with the more famous clip of the ski jumper who lost his balance partway down and went spinning off the edge.

    I can only assume that the Yanx don't want to get rid of Sterling. It's not like these blown calls are something new even if they seem to more frequent lately. Maybe they think his cutesy HR calls (whenever he manages to get them right at least) and his near perfect attendance (he went close to 30 years without missing a single game) are worth the occasional embarrassment. And he still does p-b-p every inning; Suzyn is strictly color, and promo reader (and Sterling correcter). Not sure what his contract status is. His age has only become public knowledge recently. Prior to that, he, with cooperation from the club I assume, had managed to keep that under wraps for years. It's not like they'd lack for applicants to fill his slot, although the Yanx never seem to get either of their booths right. They either have bad guys, or bad fits, or too many moving parts (TV side), or good guys who either hang around too long (Sterling, Phil) or ones who are forced out for not toeing the company line (Barber, Kubek, Kaat).

    Jays hang on 2-1 (after loading the bases w/no outs in the the 9th) to salvage one win in the three game series.

    We're not actually going to lose this game ... because it's never going to end.

    I thought Escobar could/should have been on 3rd after his hit got kicked around in the RF corner. If he did he'd have scored on the IF hit. It's too early still to play so conservatively. Chip away. You don't need all 7 runs this inning.

    =Gwreck post_id=91340 time=1651692156 user_id=56] I am very puzzled by Ottavino as the first call to the bullpen. No situation seems to justify Ottavino.

    I'd say this went to shit in a hurry, but I think Atlanta has been up for like 45 minutes now. It's like it all went to shit in a slow-motion hurry.

    Bit of a harder working inning there in the 3rd for Megill. But still with a decent pitch count (44 thru 3) and, oh yeah, 8 straight innings over two games without a hit allowed.
  17. Frayed Knot
    I hung the decision not to PH on Snitker simply to get the pun in, but my initial thought was that Atlanta's bench must be either thin or short (or both) if they're opting not to hit for their part-timer/9th place hitter in that situation. OF Eddie Rosario seems to be the only bat on the IL but he owns a .307 lifetime OBA plus was 4/43 in '22 even when he was healthy.

    Has it really been that long since a blank icon appeared. Wow, seems like just yesterday.

    Fourth game in <48 hours against the reigning Champs. 'twould be real nice to take the final three and keep the series winning streak alive, including winning all three four-game series in the young season.

    Travis Demeritte is a 27 y/o with barely 200 ML ABs to his name and he doesn't get PH'd for when they need a baserunner to bring the tying run to the plate?!? I think maybe Snitker gets a demerit for not hitting for Demeritte there.

    Haven't had one of these in, oh, at least two weeks or so. This one is from Monday night (5/2). [media=youtube]R7F1Nyxys1A[/media] This one is great. First he blows the call obviously, but when you're talking about Jawn Sterling those are kind of a dime a dozen these days. - But here you get the bonus of Suzyn saying 'No' in the background before finally being forced to flat-out correct him. - Then he offers the semi-excuse that the fact that Stanton never throwing the ball back to the infield is what confused him, except Stanton so clearly did. - Then, and remember that this is all on radio, he tells us what a great catch it was even though listeners would have to accept the word of a guy who didn't see the play - and then finally adding how this great Stanton catch robbed a HR even though the ball was going to be short of the top of the fence. Sterling blown calls are almost common. The quintuple error in one call is something special though.
