Repost from last thread.
John had a great voice for radio. ( and face, if you were to believe him.) In a busy kitchen, it cut through a lot of the noise so you could hear what was going on. We missed his calls after his retirement. My two favorite JS moments were, once after we won the alcs,I believe, He went live down to the lockeroom but the door was locked. You could hear him pounding the door as he harumphed, “Never, never in all my days!” He did not get in. The other was a day game where they cut away for a commercial break but no commercial came on. I guess not realizing he still had a hot mic, you could just picture him slowly shaking his head as we heard, ” Stupid people, stupid, stupid people.”

Nice a little bit Scooter, a little bit Russ Hodges, and a lot John. I just wish he was able to adapt a little, like learn to use an iPad or accepting that exit velo was a thing.
From Scranton to clean up hitter, ET 2026.
My favorite Sterling call after Brandon Drury’s first Yankee home run.

Jidge!
That went pretty far. No fair homering while Rice is sitting.
That was nice. I believe that is Judge’s 91st career first inning HR.
Mr. May, is that what you’re trying to call him?
Is it weird that they didn’t bother mentioning Judge taking over as the sole leader in HRs in MLB?
Murakami’s facing the Angels and Jose Soriano, who is due for further regression from his still microscopic ERA, so he’s good for at least three homers tonight. But hey, Judge historically owns the O’s, so maybe he’ll keep pace.
Nice turn Cabby
You never know with pitchers.

Sometimes having Boras as an agent bringing you to free agency doesn’t work out that well.
Heck, he [Boras] took a kid to college years ago, refusing an excellent offer; first day on campus the kid broke his ankle, basically done as far as big money goes.
Rays lead the Jays 5-1 after 6 1/2.
Is pitch count the ONLY reason they’d like to stay away from Jake Bird?
That was a good challenge and a lucky take.
Ten baserunners thru 5.2, unCamlike
He’s human
I still would prefer Cam to Bird here.
Cam lost the strike zone though, so he had to be removed.
I think I would still have preferred Cam willing his way to another strike. But yes, he definitely bizarrely COMPLETELY lost the strike zone.
Jake Bird ya gotta believe
Bird inspires no confidence
Pigs fly.
Bird delivers for once.
That might’ve been a Pyrrhic victory
You can’t defend speed.
0-2 goes OPPO 108 mph single McMahon
I like this new add on strategy that the analytics team devised.
Tim Hill looks like the guy from Half Man
Doval proof?
I know it’s a five-run lead, but it sure feels like they’re trying to force Doval into the 8th inning role, right?
It can never be easy with Doval.
They better make Doval pitch the 9th, too.
Stat-padder. And more stat-padding too.
Doval-safe now.
Poor Trivino; ERA now 81.
I honestly don’t feel bad for him. He walked Wells, Caballero, AND Grisham!!
Okay, I guess you can use Blackburn now.
Schlittler didn’t have it and yet only gave up 1 run. I’m beginning to think he’s a good pitcher.
Is this team that good or a repeat of prior Boone seasons where the swoon is coming.

Rays also won.
Of course they did. It’s fucking insane.
They aren’t giving up any runs.
Stupid Murakami.
