There's a big guy on the bench who's more likely to hit the ball over the fence than Daniel Schneeman.

And his name is John Kenzie.

And as Stephen Vogt said after the game, “He hits a home run with a pinch hit.”

That's why we sent him there, which is so great because of course John Kenzie even says, “Yeah, try to get a hit just to get a pitch, blah, blah, blah, but we all think it, what.” is that?” The point in the press box is: Oh, that's the home run.

It's a home run that everyone has been waiting for for six weeks and he finally hit it in the best spot possible and it was the coolest thing I've ever seen.

The moment Chek West's song “Mo Bamba” is used as the closing seconds of Dr. Kinsey starting to play is the craziest moment.

So Clay Holmes ends up at the bottom of 10th.

That Boone look.

Yes, it sucks.

But Boone says, “Do you see that?”

And Vogt said exactly the same thing when they lost the Carry Carpenter game, you know, it was exactly the same thing.

And the question was: How do you deal with it?

And he said that was pretty cool.
