Gary, you are the best. But,
it is not technically correct with 2 outs and 2 strikes in the 9th to say, “The Nats are down to their final strike.”
Because a base hit gives them at least 2 more strikes. It would be accurate to say, “The Mets NEED only one strike.”@garykeithron— Jerry Seinfeld (@JerrySeinfeld) September 25, 2020
