Sterling or Scully: Mets announcer ruins walk off with unnecessary mention of wall

OK I need to shake off the David Wright blues, so I’m gonna jump in the pool and do my Best Gary’s Balls thing.

Gare man, this is clearly gone.  Why are you mentioning the wall?  Call these like you did Rosario.

Here, let me show you how a Hall of Famer does it…

See Gare, the second guy (Verdict: Scully!) captured the excitement of the moment. The first guy (Verdict: Sterling) should never have gotten lazy and crutched on “back near the wall” – just eliminate that from the call and it’s a great call. But the laziness is something John Sterling does. Don’t be John Sterling.
