In NH, we have an expression "Caught between a rock and a hard place". Looking down the road a little, here's some choices for a spot starter:
Carl "The Leech" Pavano
Sidney "The Frog" Ponson
Shawn "The Choker" Chacon
That ain't pretty. And old Chacon has taken the baseball phrase 'Choker' to need heights.
Cool. Carlin's one impression reminded me of Gabe Kaper. I have been inundating myself with Carlin YouTube clips since he died. I thought of putting that more pleasantly, but he would not have approved. : )
That first SNL isn't great. It has some moments though. Carlin was too cool for "Baseball." He was very articulate and thoughtful in "The Arisocrats" though.

In case you don't know what I am talking about, fast forward to the 3:30 minute mark if you haven't seen the video yet.
Jeez, Carlin coulda been a talking head on Ken Burns' "Baseball."
