Click timestamps to jump to that momentSir DD Gregorius is up. He has been kned
and he swings at that pitch and it flies
out of his hands. He loses his bat on
the high fast ball. Teammate's going to
give it to him. Now, there's some
Excalibur type stuff we can do here with
the sword and the stone and the kniting
and he's got to fix his bat and fix his
grip. This is just a quick little
snippet of baseball that can become a a
lure and tail. Spits it out, grips it,
feels good. He's got the new bat. He's
going to step in. He says, "Now I have
the right weapon. I've been prepared
properly. Throw that pitch again. Fine
pitcher." Bam. A little bit lower, but
the stickum had it going into the seats
for a home run. Sir DD Gregorius. We
share a birthday. I said happy birthday
to him. He said it back to me. How about
that fan? You can't be dressed in full
gear and then not have a glove. If
you're in full uniform, you have to
bring a glove. That's rules of baseball
attendance that I've made up. And if
you're going to make a a play and camp
under it, you can't have it bounce off
your hands like that. You're in full
uniform, mister. Make the play. You
can't dress up in full uniform and not
play the part. Congrats to Sardi
Gagorius.
