My favorite memory of glass bottle style soda is the pop machine with the door. My brother and I were sure that if you pulled on 2 bottles carefully at EXACTLY the same time you might get an extra soda but it never worked.
Gant looks like a different pitcher. Same hair though. His tortoise like pace is considerably faster. Not running up the pitch count like he usually does.
Gant has the pitcher, then the top of the order coming up. The third time through the order is a hurdle he has struggled to clear. For him it’s an important inning, if he can complete it.
