September 2 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, MO
ESPN
Wednesday was Rick Sutcliffe Night, which sounds like something that would happen at an American Legion, but no: broadcast booth of a Major League Baseball game.
Rick, you're up.
1. Sutcliffe: "I love the story of Evan Gattis. You know that some day it's gonna be a movie."
Who knows? You?
Gattis fought through depression & drug addiction and became a big league baseball player, which is great. I'm just not as convinced as "Sutty" (nickname patented by family friend Joe "The Machine" Benson) that the man's story will be made into a MOVIE.
2. Some more Sutcliffes:
"Without Bryce Harper, they're (Washington) the Philadelphia Phillies."
[silence]
"Right?"
[silence]
3. On the Nationals - "they can't afford to lose another game"
30 games left. Washington needs to go 30-0.
26-4? Not good enough. [insert one of three standard golf jokes] !
Other Sutcliffes:
"He's got that champion in him"
"And Max Scherzer will put the train back on the track"
"Heart of a champion"
"He left everything he had out there on that mound"
