Sterling or Scully: Nationals Guy calls a Juan Soto Home Run

Welcome to another season of Sterling or Scully.

For new readers, home run calls are given one of two grades.  A home run call is either fantastic and honest, which is given a grade of Scully – or it’s a hack call where the announcer is on autopilot and working in a catch phrase, for example just saying “To the track, to the wall, it’s outta here” would get a grade of Sterling because it’s basically “It is high, it is far, it is gone” even though most of you can’t admit that.

There is no in between.  It is Sterling, or it is Scully.

We begin the season with this call of a Juan Soto home run.  Unfortunately baseball wants you to sit through a 15 second ad to see a short clip because that’s how they market the sport.

What a nice call. Minimal words. Let the moment breathe.

Verdict:  Scully

Vulgar Pete Alonso hit in the face! Is he OK?

Pete Alonso wondering who could have possibly gotten Chili Davis fired.

If you were smart and went to bed you missed this!

Is Vulgar Pete OK?

Glad to see he’s OK so we can just focus on how SLOW he is and what’s up with his hair?

Exciting Mets – Nationals Opening Day Game Notes

The first place Mets take on the Nationals.  Note the game has been moved to 7:05pm.

Tylor Megill is set to make his first Opening Day start tonight in Washington…He will have the fewest major league innings pitched (89.2) of any Mets Opening Day starter in franchise history…See the below chart from Elias for more recent Opening Day starters with as little major league experience:

Prior to tonight’s game, the Mets announced the following roster moves: Placed RHP Jacob deGrom on the 10-Day IL (stress reaction on his right scapula)…Placed LHP Joey Lucchesi on the 60-Day IL (“Tommy John” surgery)…Placed RHP Jake Reed on the 10-Day IL (left oblique strain)…Optioned LHP David Peterson to Triple-A Syracuse.

The Mets are 16-12 when starting the season on the road…Dating back to 2001, New York has won seven of its last 11 games when beginning the year on the road.

Tomorrow’s 7:05 p.m. game against the Washington Nationals will be aired exclusively on Apple TV+…Fans can access the game for free by using the Apple TV app or by visiting tv.apple.com…The service is accessible to anyone with internet or wireless access, no cable or satellite subscription is required.

Here’s your AppleTV+ broadcasters for Friday’s Mets game

Melanie Newman, Chris Young, Hannah Keyser and Brooke Fletcher  will be your Apple TV booth and Gelbs-type.

Apple is really trying to see if people can hate them on social media.  I am unfamiliar with Melanie Newman’s work, I am sure she’s fantastic – but I imagine the combination of people feeling like they went out of their way to watch the game, then not hearing someone in the same vocal register they are used to…I can see people being unhappy.

(Although here’s a clip and maybe she isn’t good at PBP at all.)

Should be a fun night on social media!!
