Does he get right of first refusal of throwing out the first pitch of WS GM 1?
Pretty sure Frank never has to pay for a drink if he moved to Atlanta

Only saw the condensed game. Velocity looked ok for strider but location was rough.
Even some strike outs were just middle middle. You can’t be there regardless of stuff.

Wow, what a game last night. I was happy that Bally's decided to no black out the replay (they have blacked out all but two so far this year before that).
The booth was fun! It took a bit to get used to not having a play-by-play guy doing the little things like calling counts. The stories were great. Smoltz was much better than on Fox - not quite as rigid and more homer which I enjoyed. Chipper was great at breaking down swings, just amazing.
Strider - I just don't know what to make of that outing. He either dominated the AB or was dominated. There was a point where he had given up 5 runs, gotten 8 outs, and 7 of them were K's. In the end the HR's were killers and seem to be his kryptonite so far this year.
The Takedown - And then the fun really started. A slow, steady, relentless takedown by the offense with 3 clutch HR's. Easily the Game of the Year. One I'll remember for a long time, in the same boat as the 29 run game against Miami and the 7 run 9th against the Reds.

What an awesome comeback. Frenchy’s “pour Larry a Crown!” line after Smoltzy’s HR call was epic. Gotta get that group back sometime

I am rewatching on Ballys just for the booth banter. These guys have me cracking up. And I agree, one of my all time favorite walk off calls

It was great because you could see the chemistry between the guys the whole night. But I found it funny that they cut to looks inside the booth occasionally and t here were production staff up there that looked to be under a ton of stress, walking away shaking their heads. I saw that a few times.

Love this. Acuna and Olson alone have combined for more 110+ MPH balls than any full team outside of Atlanta.
