I feel like there's a joke in there about some recent staff members....

This. Even the idiot Matt Nagy had that one terrific season remember? After that all garbage.

Shocked that Harbaugh got the boot in Baltimore after all that he's accomplished. If the Bears hadn't already grabbed Johnson, I'd hire him in a second. He won't be unemployed for long.

I've got a new diet staple then next season....Cuban Comet Sandwich and a Helmet full of nachos. Thank you, Doctor.

Plenty of veggies in the helmet nachos. It's basically a health food

The only vegetable i've ever seen at Sox park is a grilled onion.

Stone talks about how he only eats meat/steak and is apparently as repulsed by vegetables as a 5 year old kid.

I didn't mind watching Benetti get a little sloppy on occasion. Nothing wrong with that at a baseball game. Plus it provides good contrast from Stone acting like he would light up in flames if he even came in contact with a piece of food in the booth.

Great for Jason. Anything that gets him away from Detroit more often.

Meanwhile, Jerry thinks it’s a negative thing for his sportscasters to get national attention. 🤣

I actually agree....but I couldn't resist

This actually made me burst out laughing. On the topic though, good for him.

...

Yeah, I didn’t say anything about their payroll. And actually neither did the other guy. I was just making fun of the *checks notes* thing.

Whatever that means... If youre happy with the Sox payroll and think it signals an investment in winning then i can't help.

He'd be doing both since the NBC broadcast if I remember right would be along the lines of the "Game of the Week..." Very few broadcasters today have "exclusive" contracts at that level prohibiting them for working as well for national outlets.

If I had imaginary notes I’d make them much more interesting.

Yeah, now that the Sox have the *checks notes* 4th lowest payroll in baseball after the Murakami signing, they must really be all-in!

Would this mean that he would no longer be the Tigers pbp?

Benetti is god awful at baseball, but I have heard him call some football games and it was pretty enjoyable.

Interesting the Kingsubry move. I guess this is probably 2 fold - clear disconnect - but maybe they also want to get ahead of replacing Kliff if he gets a gig too. With Jayden there - its still an attractive job for an OC trying to make a name for an eventual HC job. But amazing what a year makes for Washington. Reminder that the goal is sustainable success and I want to see us have another strong season next year, including strong draft etc, to show that we really are different...but at this point, I really think Ben is different in terms of the standard he sets and the relentless pursuit of excellence. And I think he breeds that throughout his coaching ranks and throughout the player ranks.

Not saying he isn't good - but I feel like so many are implying he's going to get a DC job...I think the defense is struggling big time...it has mediocre ends (Booker I like and is an ascending player..looks like a roational pass rusher at a minimum). But the interior of the D is very weak - Poles has failed miserably here (Jarrett, Dexter, Pickens, Shemar (injury), and the Colts guy have all been major investments whether draft picks or free agent spend - yet the production and interior penetration is weak. Running defense is bad, gap control is bad, etc. Dexter has flashed from time to time - but he looks more like a rotational piece than anything else. But when your interior is weak and your ends are mediocre - the combo is even worse...combine that with a poor secondary sans Byard (I have been really bummed out on Brisker as he just doesn't look like the player he was before his concussion issues). Not saying he's bad - but he's not flashing a lot - just a solid safety. The DBs are horrendous - whether Gordon/Jaylon/Smith healthy would have changed that is a moot point. Our LB play has been sub-par too. Edmunds was good to above average pre-injury...since than it hasn't been the same. Hopefully its more of he just isn't 100% (but trending in the right direction)...but that is just a soft D. Good thing is - some of those areas could improve with health / offseason...others could be filled / improved with solid draft picks (you can find good LB's in 2nd/3rd/4th rounds).
