Darin Erstad Talking Points



When Darin Estad came up to pinch hit in Tuesday's game, I had a pavlovian response, thanks to my love of FJM. But surely the Phillies announcers would avoid this overused and misleading depiction of the former #1 draft pick.

Nope.

Chris Wheeler went right to the Darin Erstad talking points and noted that, "this guy is some competitor, he played college football at Nebraska." To which I responded, to no one in particular, "yes, as a punter."

Erstad promptely grounded out weakly to third. But in a Cornhusker football way.
