How many remember listening to the "Brooks Conrad game" 9 years ago today?
Seven-run ninth-inning comebacks are always fun, right?
On this day in 2010, the Braves pulled one off — ending with Brooks Conrad's grand slam — and radio play-by-play guy
@Jim_Powell
had a "never give up" countdown going the entire inning! Very cool.

Honored to have called both, the Conrad game with Lemmer and today’s game with Don (Lem was in the booth for the 9th today too). 2 of my favorite games I’ve ever called!

Josh Donaldson brings a lot more to the table than you think. The people who know him best, AA & Co., have a great appreciation for what he adds in the clubhouse and dugout beyond his stats (which are good too!). Obviously we all know B-Mac does the same.

Get the umps' brethren out of the

The replay system, in so many ways, is terrible. Period. Has been since it began. Awful. Conclusive evidence to overturn is so ridiculous that it’s embarrassing MLB hasn’t fixed it yet. That would go a long way toward making replay useful instead of the mess it is now.
