JUST a bit outside, tried the corner and missed it.

Bob Uecker was a gem. I could turn on the Brewers radio broadcast no matter who they were playing and be entertained.

My favorite little moment in that movie is just how put off Dorn is by Harris' insistence on prayer. Dorn makes these faces like he would rather be anywhere else than listening to Harris pray.

Like before the first game. Harris wants to pray and Dorn falls back in his chair and acts so disgusted. Then, he gets up, says, "If anyone needs me ill be in my office", acts like he just cut the most heinous fart, and wafts it away with his paper as he walks to the toilet.

Also the scene when Harris is asking about Jobu for the first time. Harris says, "You might want to think about taking Jesus Christ as your lord and savior" and, again, Dorn throws his head back and says, "shite Harris" and walks away.

I would love to know the back story there. Dorn either hates Harris or he hates religion, or maybe both.

It was very subtle but great delivery. Cracks me up.

The ball was 3 feet outside the plate.

I like that in the off-season the manager is working at the Tire shop and the GM calls him, and Lou still puts him on hold lol…

“What league you been playin in?”
“California Penal”

“This one’s dead”
“Well cross him off the list”

“Oh Cleveland has a team? I didn’t know they still had a team… Oh we got uniforms and everything”

His subtle throw away lines are the best

What about when Uecker puts a dab of whiskey behind his ear like it's cologne?

My favorite Bob Uecker trivia is that he and Bob Gibson got fined for holding hands in a Cardinals team photo in 1964.

we'd save everyone the time and trouble if we just went out and shot ourselves.

Lou Brown: She put this team together because she thought we'd be bad enough to finish dead last, knocking attendance down to the point where she could move the team to Miami... and get rid of all of us for better personnel.

Roger Dorn: Even me?
Lou Brown: Even you, Dorn.

Loved when Haywood says to Taylor “what are you doing back here” and he responds “I couldn’t cut it in the Mexican leagues”


Found out last weekend there is a lot of truth to this. Know a guy who coaches in the Cubs organization and he's heading to Mexico City to coach this week.

Started talking about what it's like to play in that league. Pitchers getting lit up at 10,000 feet elevation, balls flying out of the park. He said it's an insane league.

He told me that Americans will go down there and get paid $20k-30k a month, but if you have any sort of slump, pitcher getting lit or batter slumping, they don't care if you are Barry F'ing Bonds, they will send you packing. Said that league is cutthroat as hell.

So not being able to cut it in the Mexican League, ehh, takes on another meaning after hearing that.

I followed along on Trevor Bauer's YT channel when he played down there a couple years ago and enjoyed a lot of the insight he provided.

cerrano would have been sent down or cut because he would be hitting .000
He would see literally nothing but curve balls from day 1


Thanks for the analysis, Coach.

Highest elevation for a stadium is 7349, that is high, but far from 10k. Lets be real.
