Vin Scully!

Always nice to get a change of pace and listen to an actual baseball announcer. Some things just sound better coming out of Vin Scully's mouth, such as:

"It looked like a high slider, good bye high slider"
"You have a rabbit like Rollins"
"Into the pavilion"
"So Robinson 2 for 3 with the bat, 0 for 1 with the glove"
"RBIs to you and me, bread and butter to Puig"
"And that'll be that"
"From all of us to all of you, good evening everybody"

Some random thoughts and hilarity as well from Vin, who told us home plate umpire C.B. Bucknor has a bachelor's degree in recreation therapy, and said this about Washington's Anthony Rondon:

"His parents said he started hitting rocks and pine cones and he just never stopped."

I think Vin meant Rondon just never stopped HITTING, as in baseballs with an aluminum/wooden bat. But this sounds like Rondon has never stopped hitting rocks and pine cones. That's hilarious to think about if he's doing it, say, in the clubhouse before games.
