That is funny. Part of me thought the Nats were itching for an ejection to have something to get fired up about (Eaton, Harper. and Soto were all demonstrably unhappy in previous at-bats), but the umpires weren’t going to give them the satisfaction until Soto forced their hand.

Truly the worst crew in all of announcerdom.

After Suzuki drove in Markakis, there was a quick cutaway of Albies and Acuña recreating the magic, with slight changes:

It reminds me of Gaylord Perry’s comment in “Me And The Spitter” about Alvin Dark keeping a memo pad with names of people who had done him wrong.

They did, and I agree: Markakis (of whom FWIW I am a fan) will put one down the left field line - regardless of how many bounces it will take to reach the outfield - for poops and giggles.

I remember listening to the Braves Radio Network when Komminsk hit a grand slam to win a promo entrant $100,000. Google says it was 6/19/1984 against the Giants.

I filed their reasoning under, “If that’s the best reason you can come up with, why bother?”

I hear the same from a friend who played and coached a lot of baseball (that's not meant to disqualify board members' respective opinions, my meaning is he knows a lot more than me). He's not at all a fan of Flowers's defensive game for the reasons you list above.

Pozzy: not even 1939 St. Louis Browns-level badness could change that.

She does sideline reporting for ACC football as well.

I seem to recall Jenn Hildreth (who was pretty good at it) and Kristina Fitzpatrick (who wasn't) as well.

I apologize for being thread police-y, but that's not refraining, that is getting in a shot after the bell has rung.

"Seconds out!"

Using the 10 point must system, it was 10-9 Strickland IMO.

McCann and Uggla were close at hand as well IIRC.

Gwinnett Firecrackers - that was the origin of "Crackers," IIRC - does carry a certain je ne sais quoi.

Yes, with the Fire Frogs.

(Says to self) ...and exhale.

Four and a half, IIRC, if we're leading after that.
