So the Bucs have the pitcher who leads in strikeouts looking and the player who has struck out the most looking in Suwinski.

That's the circle of life there.

Choi lines out. I must have my innings mixed up. It’s next inning when the Bucs will score. Still scoreless moving to the bottom of the 4th.

Choi tries to get a hit by driving it completely through the pitcher, but death is averted with a looky what I found catch.

Keller with another walk. Just a matter of time before one of these hurts.

Keller walks leadoff hitter, and the wrong guy to do it to.

He goes on to tell us all the pitchers he has more than, "even more than Gerrit Cole". Because you know, when you lead something in all of baseball, you have to bring a name up as if saying,"even him!". Even though Cole is part of the "in all of baseball"
I went with the radio audio overlay from the start. But it sounds like Block's usual routine of trying to talk as much as possible. So naming names gives him more words to say instead of leaving it as "in all of baseball." I get the impression that Block enters each half inning not thinking about how best to describe the action, but rather thinking about how he can maintain a constant chatter until the 3rd out.

But not this time as, with one out, Gurriel bounces into a double play. To the 5th we go, still no score.

That's what makes Block doubly annoying spreading on the superlatives. Tries to make it sound like Keller is Cy Young reincarnated. We know, WE KNOW BLOCK, KELLER IS AN ALL STAR!!!!!

Holy Christmas he doesn't have to say it every time he mentions his name.

Gonzales grounds out. Triolo up next.
