Sterling or Scully: Gary Cohen calls HRs against the Nationals


Joey Bats Homered! Let’s see what Gary Cohen did with it…

So I played this one a few times before rendering verdict. I think Gare wasn’t sure if it was out or not, so his mention of the wall was more in line with the way Howie would telegraph his uncertainty to a listener than the way Gary sometimes gets lazy. Thus, a very good call by the future Hall of Famer!

Verdict: Scully

Someone else hit a HR, but neither the Mets nor SNY posted it.

Then there was this one…which neither posted because it’s very Sterlingesque. Gary got lazy again, and they didn’t post it. I guarantee you this feature is on their radar.

Fortunately LOS METS isn’t part of the conspiracy…

To the wall, it is far…Verdict: Sterling.

Much thanks to Nick for also sending me the latter clip.
