...halfway to first base. I wasn't nearly as impressed with the play as Chip apparently was. I was surprised that Frenchy didn't say how great a play that would've been on astroturf.

JD

**Snowman** · 08-31-2019, 10:02 PM

Mullet power.

**The Chosen One** · 08-31-2019, 10:02 PM

Glad JD didn't walk.

**CyYoung31** · 08-31-2019, 10:02 PM

LMAO at Chip’s umbrella call.

**Snowman** · 08-31-2019, 10:04 PM

I'm going to go out on a limb, and say if Donaldson did that same ****e playing for the other team, Chip would be absolutely frothing at the mouth about how disrespectful it is and how there's never a good reason to show up the pitcher like that.

**Runnin** · 08-31-2019, 10:04 PM

That's corny as hell.

I've been wondering about the hand thing. First time I saw it I thought something was wrong with his hand.

**UNCBlue012** · 08-31-2019, 10:04 PM

THE TEAM HAD UMBRELLAS LMAO

Missed the JD homer as I switched over to the Auburn-Oregon CFB game. What was the umbrella call--obviously related to "bringer of rain?"

When he homers, he pops out an invisible umbrella around first and carries it all the way home.

**UNCBlue012** · 08-31-2019, 10:06 PM

This team is so much fun.

**Snowman** · 08-31-2019, 10:07 PM

If our organist did play mockeries for out own players, he could add supercalifragilisticexpialadocious to his playlist now.

Chip gave a play by play of Donaldson’s umbrella gimmick as he was rounding the bases, all with the utmost excitement.

By the way, where’s Paul Byrd been?

**USMA76** · 08-31-2019, 10:13 PM

Isn't the term "winning the series 'outright'" an exercise in redundancy? Seems to me you either win, lose, or split a series or am I missing something?

I'm only guessing from usage context here, but winning the first two so the final game only determines if it is or isn't a sweep?

Stealing Encarnacion's gimmick with a twist.
