There’s a big guy on the bench who’s much more likely to hit the fence than Daniel Schneeman.

And his name is John Kenzie.

And as Stephen Vogt said after the game, he pinch-hit to hit a home run.

That’s why we sent him there, which is so great because of course John Kenzie even says, yeah, try to get going, just to get a throw, blah, blah, blah, but we’re all thinking, what’s that? the point in the press box is like, oh, this is, this is the home run.

It’s a home run that everyone had been waiting six weeks for and he finally did it in the best possible place and it was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.

Just as the Chek West song starts playing, Mo Bamba starts playing like the last second of Dr. Kinsey, the coolest.

It was so bad and like you could just feel the stadium moving on its foundation.

So Clay Holmes comes in for the bottom of the 10th.

Normally home runs, no problems with Clay Holmes.

Uh It’s like anything else wildness.

It’s like being on time.

Bad Babbit and bass hit whatever.

I mean, this was a sinker that didn’t sink enough.

And David Fry, who just, what a season for David Fry, just sets one on fire.

Not as, no doubt as Noel’s, but that was more of a Noel thing than a David Fry thing.

And that was it, the game, the game ended and I can’t, I can’t believe it.

It was, it was great when in the post game the manager of the losing team in a great game was asked the first question and it was often about the, whoever screwed up, like, whoever the pitcher was and the manager goes , that’s a classic, it’s one of my favorite things, like Boone did that last night and I love it.

That Boone look.

Yes, it sucks.

But Boone says: do you see that?

And Vogt said the exact same thing when they lost that carry carpenter game, you know, it was the exact same thing.

And that was: how do you deal with that?

And he said, that was pretty cool.
