Sounds like a charter in Willy Wonka part II.

There are things even AI cannot handle.

Better hope he's not drinking or that his Spanish words aren't accurately translated. AI CGI can insert Beltin' Bill Melton somehow as well.

Yeah, it's not like he is a bad or horrible person, but it definitely explains a lot of his off of the field stuff.

His best broadcast of the season was an LA Sparks wnba game. Didn't know most of the bench players on either roster. But much more enthusiastic for basketball. Reported top contender three years ago Mike Monaco did a lot of US Open tennis quite well. Karl Ravech would be my choice...but salary demands likely too high, unless he has some unknown Chicago ties?

Can AI translate him?

Although that won’t be normal behavior. Ah well.

Absolutely 👍

Yes. The Sox are a tough nut as far as franchise normalization. Soon.

My post was to pitch in Sundays game. I agree none of those guys make playoff roster

And the best overall record as an opener, 5-1. Hudson down to 5-4. Taylor/Eisert both 3-1. yay playoff shares!?!

That's why Benetti and I would get along so well...Civil War buffs. Instead of going to Disneyland/World or Hawaii, my dad instead brought me to 12 major battlefields and places like Arlington Cemetery while growing up. A further irony is travelling/living around the world when neither of my parents ever possessed a US passport.

We're gonna win this series. Astros aren't ready for a hot offense. Our pitching will do enough.

He blew up quite a few times in September. He's the guy we should have scored off of, but Will let Romo run and we couldn't score. Then Vargas grounded into a double play with the bases loaded.

Haven't scored a run off him this year in 4 innings

They still be STROKIN’.

Hoping for the best. Hope they can win at least a game and get to a game three, where anything can and usually does happen.

If only we still had Reese McGuire. BluBaughs would be annihilated.

Newcomb as an opener this year: 10.2 IP 0.84 ERA, 1.79 FIP, 0.75 WHIP. Use him to get through Yordan and let Sandlin or Fedde get innings 2-4/5.

I had a hot run there for a minute earlier this year, but after my first loss I chose to step down from gamethread duties due to fear of becoming the next Ron.

Yeah, I will always be a big fan of Frank, but he has always been insecure and the other things that go along with being an insecure person. I think it's easy enough to chalk it up to his background or whatever so it's not like I think he's a bad person or something, but it's hard to deny even if he has sometimes been right to point some of the fingers that have been pointed. Some of the fingers pointing at him were right too.

I still would start Sandlin and just have him on a short leash and only expect him to go 2. Or I see us opening with Newcomb
