Sox enter the game with the 9th best playoff odds on Fan Graphs at a little over 80%. It's been a good start, let's keep it going.

What? Why? WTF man.

Yea I think most of the great HR calls involved something like "That ball hit deep...back...back...back, it's outta here!". Rick Rizzs uses that call for the most part. It's a simple call that allows the announcer to build the suspense regardless if they read the ball off the bat. https://www.mlb.com/video/radio-call-zunino-s-walk-off-c1476166983

This lineup is just drool worthy and TA isn't even healthy. Goodness!

We'll have to agree to disagree here. If Jason is the most controversial thing about this team I'm cool with that.

I didn't see it I was just reacting to what someone posted in response to my post. That said, everything that poster said is plausible and that was a very mediocre call by Jason. Among other things he didn't even the count out before the ball was halfway over the fence. Jason has things he needs to work on, his HR call is the obvious starting point.

that it was plausible is the problem.

I bet he doesn't get claimed.

Oof. I can't stand listening to Jason so I always tune into the opposing team's crew. The Brew Crew guys are really bad but they understood how big that HR was and didn't make a stupid reference to a show 30 years old now.

We need to be using him as the headliner, like now. Foster honestly looks like a guy you could toss out for the 1st inning, maybe you even get a 2nd out of him, and then you put in Ross for the next 3-5. Renteria needs to get creative.

Very boring and very Cubs oriented.

Luckily, with my drinking habits, the Sox haven't given me another reason too much this year!

I'm in love with this team. Manfred and selfish players better not fuck this up. Ratings are up over 50% for the Sox if this guy on Twitter is correct, so I'm not alone.

Was one of my favorite players growing up but he absolutely ruined it with his management tenure. I'm sure others have their own opinions but for me that's where I'm at.

I'm listening to the Score web stream right now, how does Dan Bernstein have this time slot? He's beyond boring. Jesus.

It's too bad RV ruined his legacy with Sox fans because his legacy nationally is always going to be the headlock with Ryan. Might only have Mets fans left with a good impression of him.

Trust me I saw Yoan go from 1st to 3rd in a spring training game in 2018 and thought that's the best athlete I've ever seen in a Sox uniform. Robert is like Lebron on those Heat teams tho. Even prime Wade is going to be overshadowed.

Pretty much. He was a shell of himself the last few years, hell, last 6-8 really. After 2012 he was a broken fan and a bitter old man emerged. That said, I miss his passion and even at his old age he could spot a HR off the bat better than Jason at the moment. Jason needs to lock himself in a room and come up with a good HR call, if he can't see them off that bat, at least get a good call that can convey the excitement.

Stroman plus Anderson? That would be awesome.

this is fun.

bullpen is as good as your offense, but yea, pen came through tonight as did the bats, as they have been.

I gotta say Jose's bat looked quick AF tonight, keep it up dude.

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!

had it all the way lol

YES!
